Default Air Compressor Question

I'm not familiar with that model of sander but sanders in general use
lots of air, about like having a small blow gun constantly on. I'd
estimate you'd need a good 8-10 CFM at 90PSI +/- for extended use of
a pneumatic ROS.

The Porter Cable PTS-6 requires approx. 15 SCFM @ 90 PSI.

The compressor would have to be in the 5 to 6 horsepower range.
