I was curious if anyone uses an air powered D/A?? :dunno
I happen to notice a few while flipping through a catalog at work.

If are you getting similar results as you do with a P/C?

I have a pneumatic rotary (2), but not a D/A.

I would guess you would get similar results with the pneumatic D/A as you would with an electric D/A. The pneumatic would have almost infinite, and variable speeds at the touch of the trigger. Of course, you also need a good compressor! :D

I`ve used a few in my day, but they are a bit harder to handle(controlling speeds) and the hose often becomes a real PITA ...unless they have greatly improved them, other than the ones I`ve seen, then I`d stick to electric..2cents

I use a small air D/A with a 3 in pad on my bike. Works great...I use the smaller spiral coiled hose.
