Will this unit work for sandblasting or use with a pneumatic angle grinder? Grinder needs 6.2 cfm. For art/woodworking, not auto/metal stuff.

I have not used it for those applications but I can tell you that it has more cfm's than my old 5hp unit. It has stood up well using nail gun and pumping up very large inflatables.

Not sure about industrial sandblasting but the compressor performs for pneumatic tools which includes shop tools and carpentry framing nail guns.

Grinder would be fine. For sandblasting you need a very large volume of continuous air. My old 5HP could not handle my blast cabinet. For that I needed to go with an IR 240v 7hp 80-gallon compressor like this one: Ingersoll Rand Co IR45465408 7.5 Horse Power Air Compressor Model 2475N7.5-V

A compressor that would yield around 10cfm. Even if yours created less, it would work ok but deplete your supply faster. That being said, this sander is usually used as a "bondo hog" with 36 grit paper. That means that it would cut the bondo quickly and prolonged running is not usually necessary. If your compressor will run a normal 6" DA sander, it will run this tool. Great tool!!!

In short, I don't know. I have never used this tool for this purpose. I have cut a lot of block with this, and a Horrid Fright grinder (which I have been unable to kill) and not had problems. Given what happened to your PC, I would have my compressor fairly close and blow the thing out every 10-15 minutes, or so. (This will also give the tool a bit of time to cool down.) Good luck with your project.

I have used it for wall sanding (after application of primer using DTS 400 sander) and it worked OK. Don't know how it will work with sanding large areas of unprimed joint compound which creates large amounts of rock dust. Great piece of equipment. Perhaps bigger is better with sanding large amounts of joint compound. I would contact festool to ask about your specific application.

You probably mean the air consumption (cfm), as even a small compressor can put out 90 psi. Mine is mid-size (26-gallon) but for anything but a small job I'd want one with more constant output. The sander runs about 1-2 minutes before the compressor needs to catch up.If you're polishing a car, I recommend getting an electric polisher, and like the previous reviewer, I've had good results with the Porter-Cable model. Don't know if the air-powered IR accepts polishing discs. If you're at all doubtful about the output of your compressor, you should consider going electric for polishing.

I used it last summer with a sand auger and it performed extremely well even on windy days. I never rely just on the built-in auger. I dig a little hole, get the separate auger in really deep, and I'm good for the day!

This can only be used on an angle grinder, I have not seen a version of this in a flat pad for a random orbit sander.

I seriously doubt it. It requires air pressure. When you mix sand with water... sand will clog and stick to things. You need a decent sized compressor to use the and it works well with compressed air only and well sifted sand.

That kind of depends on what you want to with your new mini sand-blaster :) If you're doing small work here-or-there, it's a good choice; if you're doing anything heavy-duty or prolonged, it might not cut it. Also, this little guy likes to kinda rumble around: I had to use masking tape to keep it in place so it didn't rumble its way off the table, haha. You may also need an adapter for the hose, as I'm not sure if it will match Paasche fittings; for that reason, I recommend looking for a package deal from Paasche if they have one.

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

I have used it with a palm sander. The only issue is with the connection on the hose. You need to insure that you buy DEWALT DWV9120 35mm Rubber Adapter. It is the one I bought and I had to flip it to get it to work. The vac itself is great. No dust is released from the canister. I would research the hose connectors and attachments to insure that you have what you need to connect it. I was able to flip the adapter and push it into the main hose and it worked fine. But I recommend getting the right ones. I am doing that now as well. Great as a dust collector and as a shop vac. We do a lot of interior remodeling and this thing is great for collecting dust and cleaning up and other messes.

I do not think that this compressor would be good for sandblasting, as the storage tank is so small. You probably should look at at least a 20 gallon compressor for that.

I wouldn't try to use this for sandblasting. It would run a couple of nail guns but not for constant use sandblasting.

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

if you have the appropriate size spindle (5/8 - 11 UNC spindle) it will work. It is a very nice polisher, but keep in mind, fitting on a spindle is one thing. Most polishes work well around 1500 RPM maybe as high as 3000, but that is dependent upon what type of compound you are using. I don't know the speed of your angle grinder. If too fast, you can burn paint, and I would imagine, ruin the buffer pad.

The compressor is excellent for any work, painting, sandblasting and I guess for connecting a pneumatic tool bede not have any problems ... the compressor load your tank up to 200 pounds of pressure and has a regulator that gives the ability to deliver this pressure of 200 to 0 lbras.

I have this 18-Gauge pneumatic nail gun and I've used a 3 gallon air compressor without any issue. I believe as long as you can achieve 80psi you should be fine, I have my compressor set to 80psi and I'm able to bury 2 inch nails with no problem.
