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. |

Thats one reason I upgraded my air compressor. You really dont realize how much air you need for some of these tools.
I now have 23CFM baby 8.5 horse gas compressor goes where ever I need it. No cord. Of course gas is $2 something a gallon |
