Default Air Compressor/Air Sanding

short answer: yes.

longer answer - ingersol rand is not famous for excellent compressors - ask
around and see if you can get a used Quincy - will cost you less and give
you more

I am looking for an air compressor to use for Air Sanding for Woodturning.
I saw a 60 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 90psi and 11.3 CFM.

There is another 60 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 90 psi and 15.5 cfm.
It
of course costs more.

Then there is an 80 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 15.8 cfm. Again it
costs
a few hundred more than the 60 gallon 15.5 cfm.

Would the 11.3 cfm be enough for a 2" Random Orbital sander and air drill
or
should I go for the 80 gallon.

Curious what others are using. I hate to buy a sixty gallon and then find
out that it won't keep up.

Thanks, John Gbur
