the 2nd one.

the pad, and the shaft the pad is connected to both rotate randomly...sometimes if you block or hand sand you'll have deep scratches from one part of the paper being rubbed in the same spot repeatedly..this pretty much eliminates that happening..worthy investment imo

mmm i seee!!! I'm going to look into it. Hopefully i can get a compressor, don't wanna pay to rent or buy one.

What my question is now is.....Can i then OVER bondo and sand down to the shape i want???

hey man. get an ELECTRIC ORBITAL SANDER. dont mess with air stuff. sure they are more powerful, but they are noisy, you gotta oil them, the run out of air etc. electric just goes onnn and onnn. i cant believe your doing all that by hand lol. i could have it all sanded in 2 nights with an electric

You can, but you need to use kitty hair, bondo hair, or any glass reinforced filler for thick buildups. It's stronger than regular filler, and is less likely to crack. Regular filler in thick patches, is just asking for trouble later //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wasn't really doing it for the purpose of build up. It would more b to get alll the bondo work out the way, then let it dry, n just sand smooth.

see what i mean?

If your gonna get a Dual Action Sander be sure and get a large compressor like 30+ gallon. And to the guy that said electric is better than air...you have no Idea.

IMHO air tools seem to last longer than electric tools for me. I have a couple of air sanders that are 10 years old and still running great. Wish I could say the same for the numerous electrics I have killed in that time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
