Can I use my DA to sand?

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

I need to sand a rust spot down and was wondering if I should buy a drill attachment sanding pad or I can use my DA.

But DA you can't really put pressure right to sand since it stops spinning?

I would buy a panel from a salvage yard to practice on first and get the results through practice

Why would I need practice? I'm just sanding down to bare metal.

Oh. See what your da can do then

Okok.

But yeah I was wondering though is DA doable to sand like, because if you put to much pressure it stops spinning and just orbits right?

I would try. If your da stops, maybe consider a rotary or a palm sander

I might just getting drill attachment. My drills are wireless so would be easier.

What matters is you try. Once you have a method and tool, progress will be made

DAs are use to sand everyday in auto body shops although they are primarily air-powered versions.

If your DA is a FLEX 3401 you can sand with it!!!! Lets see the (ready for the fanbois to come out of the woodwork?) Rupes do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously the 3401 can sand because it is direct drive DA
