If you have a big 6kw generator and outlets everywhere i would use electric
for a grinder where you need huge cfm for rpm and torque. I have two
ingersoll Rand 2 stage #253 five horse three phase compressors plumbed to
one 80 gallon receiver tank at my body shop and one tech running a high
speed air grinder or disc sander while the painter is painting can deplete
the system enough to cause both pumps to operate at the same time to keep
up. For this reason all operations which can be handled with electric tools
are done with such to keep from over working the air system. Even a 220v 3
horse power house compressor will not keep up with a spray gun or dual
action sander without frequent breaks to allow the tank to catch back up. Id
run a 4" makita electric and use a rechargeable cordless drill and save the
air for tires and a blow gun.
