Replaces the one I've had since the late 80's. It has changed a bit since then but is still of the same high quality. Lives up to its name as a quiet grinder but uses a lot of air. You need a powerful compressor.
Great item. I've used it for several hours and it works great. I have a fairly large compressor that works very well. It's a 60 gallon tank and 15 for 90 pounds. I think a smaller system will work quite a bit. It works really well. I'm making a '74 cj5 jeep and it had a lot of paint on it that needed to be sanded off. i really like it
I bought this 1988 DA model. died on 08/15/2017. Not bad for an air tool. This is probably one of the most underrated and best value DAs out there. It's very quiet, uses very little air compared to others (4.4 cfm) and runs very quietly and comfortably. That's why I was so happy to know that Sunex still makes this model. If this one lasts another 29 years, it will hold me. I have run Hutchins and Dynabrade as well as several other leading companies. I'm still talking about the price, nothingβ¦
