I'm looking for a pneumatic orbital sander small enough to be handy. With a soft pad. Does anyone know where to find a decent priced (not festool) orbital sander.

I would be cautious about using one on a wooden boat. If there is oil in the lines it may spit onto the wood. Also moisture that tends to accumulate in the compressor might be a problem unless you have a dryer installed inline.

Dynabrade is pretty much the industry standard pneumatic sander for woodworking. Never heard anyone having problems with oil. Not cheap, though. Also, air sanders require a huge volume of air to run, so you'd better have a big compressor. I could never go back to using a sander that's not attached to a vacuum for dust control. If you want that, it limits your choices a bit.
Cheers,
Pat

Pneumatic sanders are generaly used in the automative body shop business, so I would start there.
