I have a 6" random orbit pneumatic sander, its a more expensive model from princess auto (harbor freight), and I like it, very much so. Sands very well, pad spins at a good rate, the orbit is 3/16, which I very much like. Its a good hogging sander. However, my 60 gal home brew compressor has a hard time with it. Its an old Brunner, but I swapped the pump for a Chinese 2 cylinder a few years ago because the Brunner was shot. (Really wish I kept that pump and rebuilt it...)
None of my various big brand name orbit sanders come close to the pneumatic, and I don't like that... Is there No electric model that minics a pneumatic?
I could be ignorant and just run with the pneumatic cause I'm in the basement and the compressor is in the garage and I can't hear it run, but I always have these nightmares in the back of my mind that the pump is on fire, the motor is spitting belts across the garage and the tank is rolling down the driveway....
