hey folks...i'm looking at the Ridgid R2611 (http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100523155&N=10000003+90401+500897)random orbital sander. I'll be getting it for under $104 so don't worry i'm not paying full price...I also see it's no longer made by Matebo, but it's still got the lifetime service thing so i'm not too worried...
the thing is i only have a dewalt D55146 (200psi, 4.5gal portable compressor) for home projects. I know DA sanders are air hogs. I'm looking to buy a IR 60 gal compressor in 5-10 years but not now.
Would the ridgid kind of work well for a substitute for a DA sander? I do some auto work too and I'd like to do some body sanding sometimes...
I really like the 1/8 or 1/4" orbital diameter selection on the 2611...any other suggestions for a non-air RO sander?
