You Need This Sander - AirCat 6-inch Random Orbital Sander [WITH VAC]

[@lyndonmortimer4123]

Having an air compressor in the workshop is a game changer.

[@B15SDMDESIGNS]

Only if you have 10hp 500 litre tank 😅

[@lyndonmortimer4123]

@@B15SDMDESIGNS it doesn't have to be that big.

[@PowerStrokeJude]

Wow, I'll bet a lot of body shop guys will love this tool!!!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

They really should look into getting more dustless equipment for both health and cleanliness. Thanks for watching.

Where you mentioned vibrations I can tell you if you were to change pads you can also cause unwanted vibrations so buy the one with the correct pad form the start or buy a factory brand pad if you do need to change it. I found this out by swapping the pad on my ingersol rand to a work supplied pad to a hook and loop and it eventually vibrated to paddle pin out and parts flew and it was dead at that point. So at that point I dismissed it as a bad tool not realizing the pad was at fault. I then bought a dynabrade black supreme and swapped to the same work provided pad. Again the same vibration like it was out of balance and again it would vibrate the cross pin out. So I decided to order another dynabrade cross pin and ordered a dynabrade brand hook and loop pad and the problem stopped. That DA runs so much smoother with the factory pad. I don’t know exactly what the issue is but there is definitely something different with the weight or the balancing on the pads. I do know my work provided pad is a little thicker so idk if that’s just making it heavier possibly but I’d definitely recommend buying the correct setup to start with and save yourself a lot of headache and avoid a vibrating sander.

I am a wood worker with a small hobbit shop, but I am leaning toward air over electric. thanks for a great video

[@bigwrenchgarage1360]

I've got 1-1/4" duct tape adapters if anyone needs to connect their vacuum hose to it...i'm guessing everyone already has the duct tape adapter.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I always forget about that one. Thanks for watching.

[@richardmanikowski5947]

I like the air attachments, where do I find those. The 1/4 inch air attachment from the air hose and is that an in line air regulated? It just looks like a great set up.

[@walkingconifer]

ridgid shop vac also has multi stage filtration

[@renobtankit6019]

thanks for the vid, I'm a woodworker looking into getting a sander like this, how much do they cost?

[@zakprice2128]

I really want an air cat. My snapon has a 3/16” orbit as well but the damn air control is in the way of my fingers half the time.

[@jamesward5721]

Been dicking about with wet-sanding as opposed to D.A dry sanding the last while. Half the world uses D.A sanders - the other half use wet sanding by hand. I tried wet-sanding as I work daily with an African dude who is used to "African ways" as opposed to our "spoilt" ways. Surprisingly. I now know why the other half of the world wet-sands by hand. Because it is about three times as good & 10 times as economical as dry power sanding. On everything. Even stuff you'd never dream of wet sanding usually.

[@markmariz8618]

Always use the da to knock down the paint but wet sand with block after primer

[@joeagostino1103]

What dust extractor do you use?

[@whatfreedom7]

Never used one but it has a lower vibration rating than the bluepoint sander.

Where are u from sir plz tell me

Seen one of these for a underwater sander for pools and diver cleaning can one of these do the same job

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I'm not sure if it could run underwater or not. I guess that it should, it's not like there are any electronics, just pneumatic. Thanks for watching.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

would you recommend this for boat hull paint removal ? 👍👎⛵

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Probably not. To remove the gelcoat on a boat, you will need something really beefy. At the same time, why are you removing it? If you wanted to use this sander for just sanding the finish with 220 or 400 to repaint, this is a great sander for that. Thanks for watching.

[@redbaron2448]

What size air compressor is recommended 20lbs?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I would recommend at least 5hp and 60 gallon tank. You should really look at the SCFM rating. Thanks for watching.

Wherever you buy Milwaukee tools, you can get their dust extractor. Thanks for watching.

Hi There! Where do you purchase your yellow textured nitrile gloves from? Are they good quality? Please share a link if you have! Cheers, James

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Those gloves are awesome quality, but they are very hard to get right now. They are from Mechanix Wear and they are the Nitrile 8mil with diamond texture. They are very hard to find right now. I'm pretty sure this link below are the exact glove, but just in the Gloveworks name. amzn.to/2WiQC1G

[@eapauto]

Does it come in any other orbits, 3/32, 3/8, or 5/16 ?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Yes, you can get it in 3/32 as well. Thanks for watching.

[@deebee4206]

Jesus.... stop yelling at me. 🙄 😅

[@naumanahmadtariq8717]

Most DIYers dont have big compressors so cant run this.

[@nelsonpangilinan1116]

Why its called random orbit?

[@1FaSS01]

Just buy dynabrade, made in usa :)

[@mttswllmadeit234]

do you need a compressor to use this?

[@splash5974]

Pneumatic tools obviously need an air compressor...

[@richardlarson5886]

No, just put your mouth on the fitting and blow

WHAT I CANT HEAR YOU

I'll try to speak up next time. lol. Thanks for watching.
