An air sander is a pneumatic tool used for grinding and polishing materials, such as metals and resins, using the power of compressed air. By changing the abrasive pads and grinding wheels, you can choose how to use the sander. Some grinding wheels can also be used for cutting.
A similar type of sander is an electric sander that runs on electricity. An air sander is slightly less powerful, but many are smaller and lighter than electric sanders, making them suitable for light work.
Compressed air is used, necessitating the use of a compressor.
To use an air sander, connect it to a compressor, which is the power source, and turn on the startup switch. When replacing the pad, disconnect the connecting hose to avoid malfunction.
Some types of air sanders are suction type and are designed not to scatter dust around. However, non-suction types will scatter dust during sanding. Protective equipment such as goggles and masks should be worn to prevent dust from getting into the eyes or being inhaled during operation.
There are various types of air sanders based on their movement, pads, and wheels. It is essential to choose the type that best fits your specific purpose of use.
