Does anyone recommend a good pneumatic buffer?

are you looking for a random orbital or just like a polisher. If you are a novice than a random orbital is your best bet. If you are going to go for that then get an electric they are cheaper.

Looking for a random orbital.

I prefer pneumatic after seeing Kobalt's portable CO2 system (which uses paintball CO2 clinders). I use compressed CO2 for my aquarium, and it would be simple to adapt my CO2 tank for the same purpose, though it would be less portable.

well pneumatic wont be very good if you are going to use that. Pneumatic buffers use alot of air. most say to have atleast a 60 gallon compressor because you will constantly be waiting air pressure. that kobalt tank isn't going to cut it. order an electric from these guys, get a package.

Pressurized CO2 provides as high, or higher pressure than an air compressor. What are an orbital's requirments -- pressure and flow rate?

they can range from 15 to 30 cfm at 90 psi. one little container isn't going to last long enough to get much done.
