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. |

Yup. Use electric for any tools that have to run for long periods, like sanders and angle grinders, and use air for things that only run in spurts, like impact tools, or things that really need air, like blowers and painting. I have an electric cut-off tool that never leaves the toolbox, cause I always run out of air halfway through a job.
