Ron, be careful! The high pressure cut out setting for your air compressor is set at that level because the unit is designed to produce air at that high pressure, and no higher.

If you wish to reset your pressure switches here is more info.

Cranking up your air pressure, if that's even doable on your unit, will not be of much help if your compressor doesn't have the flow necessary for your air sanders. Air sanders are huge suckers of compressed air, and you need a pretty significantly sized air compressor to supply them.

Read the CFM demands of the air sanders ( times 4 if you want to run four at the same time) and recognize that your air compressor can generally only give you about 4 CFM of air at 90 PSI for each HP of motor size.

Cheers,

Bill
