I am trying my hand at body repair. I purchased a 6" DA Sander but I am not sure how many CFM's I will need to run this thing.
I can not get access to my compressor so I need to rent one. Anybody have any suggestions. BTW: I tried using a Dewalt 6.2 CFM and it was pathetic. |

You need a lot to run a DA continously at constant speed. Probably a compressor that can deliver at least 12-15 cfm at operating pressure is minimum. Smaller compressor and tanks will run down, then you have to wait for it to recover.
