Whether you need a powerful tool for effortlessly stripping panels back to bare metal, or want something more gentle that will allow you to get the perfect polished finish, a dual action air sander will give you all the flexibility that you need, along with allowing you to combine two automotive tools into a single unit.

As with all air powered tools, there are a number of different power and handling advantages that come from the fact that the tool uses a compressed air supply. Thanks to the way in which compressed air is able to drive the internal motor in a dual action air sander, the unit is able to remain much lighter than an electrically powered model. This means that when you are using the tool it will be much easier on your arms, and allow you to work longer without getting as tired.

One of the criticisms of many dual purpose tools in the past has been that the they must strike too much of a compromise between their two main functions to do either one well, however this is simply not the case with a dual action air sander. The simple fact is that the two functions of the sanding tool rely on exactly the same action and motion, and this allows the orbital and rotational modes to operate to the same level.

A dual action air sander works quite simply. The sanding disc or polishing action is attached to a motor that rotates through a gearing system in order to allow it to rotate in an almost chaotic orbital fashion. An offset weight in the sanding and polishing disc means that there is the ability for the sander to cover large areas of whatever surface you are working with. While a rotating system is great for stripping paint and grinding back to bare metal quickly. The advantage of the orbital system of a dual action air sander is that the sanding wheel will not remain on the same area for two long, and this prevents over sanding or polishing of one area, giving a better overall finish.

In order to swap between the two functions of the dual action air sander, all you need to do is flick a switch, and then you can go from the hard work of sanding to buffing a surface to a high luster.
