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. |

I bought a Husky(Campbell Hausfeld) at Home Depot. It has a 220v 6hp motor and a 50 or 60 gallon tank. I think it makes close to 20 cfm at 90 psi. You need at least this much compressor to run a DA sucessfully. My compressor runs the whole time I am sanding.
