I have started doing body work on the 37 Ford I have. I have Arthritis in both thumbs, and wrists. I can buy air sanding boards, but my compresser would be running like mad to keep it at 90psi. Was there ever an electric sanding board.. Sure would be alot easier on the hands.. Thanks.. Al
air sanders run at 45-60 lbs of air. i run mine at 40-45 . less wear on the tool and less vibration in my hands. keep in mind sanders create heat. heat softens resins. softened resins don't sand well .
I guess the only ones I see around here are from Harbor Freight. They run at 90 psi. What name brands can you tell me run at that 40-45 psi??
I just got done looking all over at sanders.. All I seem to see even the way to expensive ones say opperating pressure of 90 psi..
Most list 90 PSI as the Maximum operating pressure. Mine (Snap-on) runs just fine at 55 PSI... All the extra air pressure does is add speed to the sander which in turn adds more heat to the metal and wears out the paper quicker...
To your original question, nope, never have seen an electric in line sander.
Something I didn't know.. I will take a look on ebay and see if I can find one. Not sure if the one for $30. at Harbor Freight would work or not.. Al
