What is most likely wrong with my tools? Dual Action Sander or Compressor?
I am just getting into backyard auto body. I bought a compressor with 11.9 CFM and an Ingersoll Rand Dual action sander. I have a 3/8 50' hose with 1/4 inch connections which I think are standard.
The sander does not have enough power. It will slow down on me and stop once I put pressure on it. The sander is set at max and the compressor is putting out 125 pounds and sounds good. Do you know what I can test or where I should look first for the problem? Thank you !
What is your compressor's capacity?
The DA sander I have takes 4 cfm at "steady state", but it shoots up to 18-19 cfm at max full load. 11.9 cfm is not that good of a flow rate for an air hog like a DA, unless you have a fairly light duty unit.
So, I'd say "both" - your tool takes too much cfm for the compressor, or your compressor doesn't put out enough flow.
