Jeez, I've been sanding a while! 80 grit to 120 to 180 to 220 then depending on the project even hit it with 400 but heck you must spend a long time sanding using so many grits
I have a nice piece and wanted to make sure I make it look as good as possible so thanks, I should have googled first before going at it with a belt sander 😂
I’m working with eastern red cedar. Out of my DEWALT planer it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! But when I use my DEWALT random orbital sander it leaves a sort of cloudy finish. Please help!!
The scratch marks a straight belt sander can put into natural grain will take twice as long to sand out, once you’re onto the random orbital sanding stage. So it’s kind of counter productive
I needed to try and remove chainsaw marks on a very fought cut. Wish i had better tools, but for now I use just elbow grease and the job is done with belt sander. Now finishing it off with 100 on the rotation sander pefore applying a finish. Its a counter that might be exposed to weather. What would be the best finish to ensure durability?
I was wondering this. Are there any downsides with a belt sander except for risk of sanding too much (not a concern for rough wood). I am here because I don't have a planer and order rough cut wood. Am happy to have an interesting surface in the end but needs to be smooth.
Too each their own , it's a craft and everyone has a different style or method... For crying out loud if everyone did the same sh*t , this world would be f*CkN boring.
When your customers want to be better than their friends by revealing how many grits their new table took to get made 👍 and when pride trumps profit. I'm gonna patent 110 grit sand paper now. jokes aside, there are some takeaways here.

After all that sanding is there any wood left?
I’ve sanded up to 320 on a walnut slab. Is that too high for epoxy seal coating?
What did you use to clean up the sandpaper?
An abrasive cleaning stick. Here is a link to product on Amazon: amzn.to/3PgU9X3
That’s a nice orbital sander
How long do you think it take to sand a 4 x 8 foot table start to finish.
Use a belt sander that is so much quicker for the rough sanding. Plus you can start with 60-80 grit.
Agreed! Im about to hard with my new belt sander on some rough flat pieces soon.

@@Retailrealtor Same I've got madrone slabs and hardwood slabs I'm trying to finish.

I’m not a professional, but I’ve never seen that many different grits be suggested. Maybe 3 or 4 grits in my opinion.
It’s 100% overkill.

@Actias1974 most definitely not. Very much required for an amazing g result.
I use the same, but I use 3M's purple sand paper. Stuff lasts so long and bites. Takes me a lot less time.
Spend more on sandpaper!! No need to use so many grits
Random orbit mode.
I am using 60 , 120, 180 then 220. You must spend a lot of time sending. Your project looks good but lot of time putting in.

Please invest in a tripod, camera movement makes us dizzy.
You have the best accent!
"Random arbit meode"
Where are you from?
