There are a number of expensive DA's out there, but I have a Campbell Hausfeld and it works fine. Just make sure to shoot some oil in
the air hole periodically. Those sanders to use quite a bit of air though. Make sure your compressor is big enough. But they are a lot
faster than hand sanding! Home Depot carries Campbell Hausfeld. I think mine was about $50. Well worth the money. There are
some electric orbitals out there also, Porter Cable makes at least one.
Good Luck,
Dave
