0.2 hp Air Disc Sander
The Ingersoll/Rand 3103XPA is a pneumatic disc sander built for light-duty surface preparation and finishing work. It suits technicians and hobbyists who need a compact, pistol-grip tool for detail sanding on metal, wood or composite panels where a larger orbital sander would be cumbersome.
Capacity and headroom at 15 000 rpm
At 0.2 hp and a free speed of 15 000 rpm the sander handles 2 in to 3 in discs comfortably on light material removal, blending and feather-edging tasks. Variable speed control lets the operator back off for delicate finishes, while the 19 cfm air demand at 90 psi means the tool will stall on heavy stock removal or sustained high-load work if the compressor cannot keep up.
Upgrades from non-vacuum palm sanders
This model replaces a basic palm-style air sander when better grip ergonomics and a threaded 1/4 in spindle for quick disc changes are required. The step up is worth it for users who value the pistol grip’s leverage on vertical surfaces, but buyers who need integrated dust extraction or a vacuum-ready shroud should look elsewhere because this unit is non-vacuum only.

Questions about this item
Will the 0.2 hp motor and 15,000 RPM speed keep up with my older 3/8 in air hose and 90 psi compressor?
The sander needs 19 cfm at 90 psi and a minimum 3/8 in hose; if your compressor and hose meet those figures the tool will run at its rated speed.
How can I confirm the variable-speed trigger is delivering the full 15,000 RPM once I connect it?
With air on, depress the trigger fully and listen for the motor to reach a steady high-pitched whine; the spindle should spin freely without stalling under light hand pressure.
Does the box include both the 2 in and 3 in threaded-shank pads, or do I need to buy them separately?
The supplier description lists included pad sizes of 2 in and 3 in, so both pads come with the sander; no separate purchase is required for those sizes.
