Ive always hand sanded but supposedly you want to use one with a 3/32 throw as opposed to the 3/16 generally used for bodywork. But idk from experience

I usually throttle mine back so I doubt you need the rated cfm.

I have this one and like it alot. Use it for the Eagle film and 3M Trizact.
Ordered hookit base and interface pad.
Run it about 50% throttled back and 19 CFM compressor only runs 1 minute out of 4.
I've bumped the speed control wide open by mistake and it screams. Would never use it that way.

I have one of these for dry if CFM is an issue

Amazon had them for a lot cheaper but I don't see the 3/16 there anymore

I sand all my clear dry, been using this RO for over
20 yrs. now. Run it at less than half speed and it
sands clear wonderful.
Can use 5" or 6" pads
I use the 3M purple films, 1500 and 2000
if I want to go finer, I seldom do, I use
Mirka foam discs, 3000 or 4000

For normal collision repair I do go straight to compounding after 2000.
It buffs out really fast.
For a high end finish I sometimes go to 3000 but I really don't see a difference
it just seems to reduce the spots I miss when I use only 2000
and it buffs faster.
