What size air compressor would I need for this sander?

A compressor that would yield around 10cfm. Even if yours created less, it would work ok but deplete your supply faster. That being said, this sander is usually used as a "bondo hog" with 36 grit paper. That means that it would cut the bondo quickly and prolonged running is not usually necessary. If your compressor will run a normal 6" DA sander, it will run this tool. Great tool!!!

I have a 5 hp 30 gallon, but I would say if you are going to use this regularly, a upright 80 gallon would keep up better. This uses a lot of air. For a light user, my 5hp is ok.

Two stage compressors work the best, but you want one that puts out alot of cfm

The size is 4-1/4 - inch by 4-1/2 - inch. It is not 5.7 x 4.4. Maybe some other brand is but not this model sander pad. Oh yeah, it fits perfectly !!!

On a very small scale it would work but most sandblasting uses much more air. Look at the air requirements for the sandblaster and select a compressor accordingly.

Go online & try the following: Porter Cable parts list for model 333, then owners manuals,then P.C. service/support-click on owners manual on right,then put in 333 at find parts,then 333 more details,then put in the Type 1,2,3,4,or 5 that is on the tool housing label near serial #. This is needed because some of the part # are different for the Types. You should get a parts list then. My sander is a Type 5. I hope this will help you. If not ,have amazon contact me- I might can help some more.

You will need to provide additional info on the tool you have: brand, model, style, how old approx. etc., so anyone can look it up on the web. The only search result for a P.C. "303 type 2" I found was a 7" round style paint remover. So that won't work, "assuming" that you are talking about a Porter Cable sander.

I know next to nothing about tools, and I just bought regular sandpaper sheets and cut them to size (cut across the 8", not the 11"). They hook under the edges of the sander base - might be good to find on Youtube... Good luck.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

I bought this for my son, and he already had batteries for his Makita drill and other tools. I am certain the Sander has to be the same brand. Lowes could resolve the question though. Good luck

Simple, if the kit you have with the compressor does not have the correct size fitting for the sander go to HD or Lowes and get one. Those sales guys would consider this an easy fix. Good luck.

My sander came with a small flexible rubber adaptor that I've jamed on fein vacs shop vac and festool vac. A zip tie or two I was in business. I would say if the dia is around 1.5 inches it should fit with the supplied flexible adaptor.

This will depend on how much cutting you want to do, how thick the piece is and to a lesser degree what kind of metal. I use a 2.5HP single stage compressor and it is a bit overkill for my needs. I make cuts that are less then a foot long and in 1/4 inch or less steel. Your mileage may very.

Any compressor will work, I use a PC Pancake for small jobs and a PC Job Boss for larger ones.The reason is simple, I prefer to have a larger capacity so that the compressor is not running all of the time.Good Luck

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

No! It is just a dust collector. You will need some flex hose and hose clamps to connect it to your tools. You should be able to connect to your sander without any reducers.

There's a small black plastic connector which connects to the square outlet at the back of the sander that mates to this hose. It is available at Amazon; check on the page of your sander model for it. That's where I found mine.

My Makita is model BO5031 and it fits. I don't really know if that would fit your sander. Sorry. It would seem if it was researched it would tell which sanders it would fit.

Yes it will fit, helps if you have the wrench/tool that came with the sander.
