The air sander uses almost 400L/min (17?cuft/min) of air, which means that my compressor would be running between 50-100% of the time for longer sanding jobs. Lots of noise and wear/tear on the compressor.....so I am re-thinking my air sander plans. I have a 3" quick-loc air sander which looks like it will be useful for quick jobs, but the 5 or 6" RO sander gets used for large chunks of time continuously.

Wow. I thought about buying a 6" air sander for the big jobs but now I'm rethinking that idea. That's some air usage. I need to check the rating on my compressor...
