I would think a disc-sander on a drill-motor and a good palm-sander would yield a pretty good job...long as ya keep that disc under control :o ...

hey I Love my air tools I have all air tools. I say air if you have a compressor. I run all mine on a 120 gallon 8 hp compressor usually @195 PSI. I couldn't make it without my air tools. much cheaper tools. Air DA is $7.99 from Harbor Freight. Plus you'll need a line sander if you plan on major work. never seen to many electric line sanders, they are $19.99 from HF as well.

Heck i found this compressor an it only needed the reeds cleaned. It's a Freebie and works great and will keep up with my Air DA sander.

unless you have a big compressor, tools like sanders and grinders will wear a compressor out( or your eardrums if its too close to you), I have a lot of air tools and they all have their time and place, but I've found on gell(except for the sprayer) and glass work, its hard to beat electric
