I don't know if any of you are still looking for a air sander, Mirka Bulldog 6" 3/32 throw. The sander is going for $99 buy it now. Here is the link Mirka MR-625 5" Non-Vac Random Orbital DA Sander AIR - (eBay.ca item 270376440996 end time 18-May-09 11:00:16 EDT) Cheers, Nick
Based on what I've heard and seen of the Mirka Bulldog it's a great air sander for paint correction. I thought of just using my PC with abralon pads but I've heard some issues in regards to the weight on the machine on horizontal panels like hood, roof and trunk. I wanted to get the 3" but it's regular price and I can live with the 5 inch for now. I'll give it a go. BTW DSMS if you want to go with the 3" instead it works out to be about the same price as the 5 inch if you get the abralon pads as well. I think the 3 inch on their site is 134.95US and a box of pads is like $23 ish? I think. Now all I have to do is buy a minimum 60 gallon compressor lol. Hope you guys enjoy the find. Cheers, Nick
I'm not too sure about needing 60 gallon for the three. I think you just have to be more concerned about the cfm. I forgot how much the bulldog uses in terms of the 5 inch so I am definitely not sure how many the 3 inch uses. I'm on the hunt for a compressor right now. I just want a larger one so the actually compressor isn't constantly running if I'm sanding a full car down. Cheers, Nick
*UPDATE* DSMS and whomever else is thinking of purchasing. The company apparently made a mistake in the posting of the item. The sale is not for a 5" but rather the 6". I just called them as I noticed the typo. I have cancelled my order. Sorry about that guys. Cheers, Nick
