Re: [DIY] Sander

 

Well, LOL... Not a belt sander, usually.
But with the grain, and inexpensive furniture, sometimes.
Palm sanders are good. All of mine, oscillated.
Rotary are usually the worst.
Random Orbitals are oscillating and the best for certain surfaces,
but DO cross the grain somewhat, but so do palm types usually.
Some inexpensive palm types, vibrate, and are slow, and can
be good.
Ever hear of sanding blocks? Wood or rubber, hand powered.
Very "green!" LOL! Often faster than a cheap power sander.

I remember a guy who had a very fine piece professionally done.
Had it appraised. $16,000. $90,000, had he NOT had it refinished.
