FAQs

The diameter of the random orbit the pad describes — it sets the cut-versus-finish balance. Larger orbits (around 5mm) remove material faster for shaping and stripping; smaller orbits (around 2.5mm) leave the finer scratch pattern paint prep wants. Bodyshops often run one of each. Orbit size is listed on every DA sander page.

Air starvation, almost always. Sanders consume air continuously — check the CFM figure on the product page against your compressor's free air delivery, not its peak rating, and look at the airline: long, narrow hoses and small couplings choke hungry tools. The compressor ranges sit in the same section if the supply is the bottleneck.

In a workshop with a properly sized air supply, air tools win on weight, balance, duty cycle and cost-per-tool — they run all day without overheating and shrug off abuse that kills electric motors. Mobile and site work without air favours electric. The deciding factor is whether your compressor can feed the tool's CFM continuously.

Clean, lubricated air: a filter-regulator on the line, an inline oiler or daily drops of air-tool oil at the inlet, and drained receivers so the tool isn't breathing water. Vanes and bearings are the wear items, and almost every early failure traces to dirty or dry air rather than the tool itself.

Air Sanders & Polishers

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Air sanders and polishers are the finishing end of the air-tool range: pneumatic orbital and dual-action sanders, belt and angle sanders, and polishing tools that bodyshops, fabricators and detailers run all day off the workshop air line. PartsForMachines supplies the range to the trade as an Authorised Distributor and Seller for Chicago Pneumatic, whose turbine-driven grinder and sander family anchors the industrial end, alongside Sealey and SIP air finishing tools.

The formats follow the work. Dual-action (DA) orbital sanders are the bodyshop standard for paint prep and feathering, with pad sizes around 150mm and hook-and-loop abrasive systems. Belt sanders reach into slots and welds, angle and disc sanders handle heavier stock removal, and air polishers run mops and foam heads at the controlled speeds paint correction demands. The working numbers sit on every product page: free speed in RPM, orbit size on DA sanders, which sets the cut-versus-finish balance, pad or belt size, air consumption in CFM at the rated pressure, and weight, which matters by the end of a panel.

Air supply decides performance: sanders are hungry tools, and an undersized compressor or narrow airline strangles them mid-panel, so check the CFM figure against the compressor's free air delivery. Clean, lubricated air through a filter and inline oiler keeps vanes alive. Compare lines up candidate tools side by side, similar models appear on each listing, and Ask Simon answers air-supply and application questions.

Abrasive discs, belts and polishing consumables sit in the Cutting Grinding Sanding Polishing section, with couplings, hoses and oilers in the air tools range. For bodyshop fit-outs, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
