Congrats on the new Epoch HD, it is the quintessential workhorse of all rotary buffers and sanders. I recommend this tech talk video on the American Sanders website to get to know your machine better: www.americansanders.com/epoch-and-hydrasand-tech-talk And you can always reach out to your American Sanders Regional Manager. A couple other options for you to learn more about using the Epoch HD to its potential: If you're going to the 2021 NWFA wood floor professional expo in Orlando July 8 - 9 we'll be in booth 729. We're doing wire brush demo training in the booth. Daniel Boone and other industry experts will be on hand for some one on one demos. And then there is the American Sanders Sand & Finish Schools. www.americansanders.com/resources/professional-training 2021 schools are all sold out, but we'll be posting the 2022 schedule in a few days.
Jared, the brush shown in the video is called the Advanced Surfacing Brush. The bristles are nylon impregnated with silicone carbide as the medium for abrasion. The Advanced Surfacing Brush can be purchased from any American Sanders distributor.
@@AmericanSanders This is fantastic. I'm interested in purchasing this brush. I do deck restorations and I'm looking for something that will remove hard acrylic solid stains. Have you tried this on softwood or would you recommend it? What RPM was the machine at?
The perimeter is first sanded with an edger, then hand scraped and hand sanded to match the scratch pattern of the field. The advanced surfacing brush is then run all the way to the edges for a consistent texture.
Russel, the purpose of hand scraping and hand sanding the edges in the wire brush technique is to ensure that the texture created around the edges of the room match the texture created in the field. If you use an orbital sander around the edges you will be burnishing the wood, and result in a different wire brush texture around the edges than in the field sanded with your big machine. Scraping and hand sanding the edges will create a scratch pattern that matches the scratch pattern of the big machine, and is necessary to get a consistent look that a home owner will love.
@@AmericanSanders wrong, you are blending the field with the wire brush! After edging with 80 all those excess steps you did are irrelevant! Ps. I love Clarke and American sanders! ❤️
@@footedcrane7714 i agree. Why are we water popping twice to raise the grain just to go back and knock it down again in successive steps. Maybe I'm missing something tho.
The reason @DanielBoone prescribes edging in addition to hand scraping is so you can match the scratch pattern around the edges to the scratch pattern in the field.
Looks good! I've been wanting to try wire brushing a floor for a while.
Are you buffering with a bassine brush or is that a stainless steel one ?? Thanks
This is our Advanced Surfacing Brush. The bristles are nylon infused with aluminum oxide.
Waht color stain did you use on the wood on the finished floor on the first photo?
Love this job just purchased the Epoch HD do you have any videos on how to Sand, screen and buff with the Epoch ?

@@AmericanSanders Thank you I appreciate you reaching back out to me.
What’s the brush called that was actually used for the wire brush part? It is just one of those hard plastic tips one?
Also what color used?

@@AmericanSanders Great tutorial! How long does the Advanced Surfacing Brush last? Are we talking 500 sq.ft., 10,000, 100,000 sq ft?

what tool do you use for premeter?

You did regular buffer with screen before water popping ?
That's a lot of work ....imagine hand scraping & hand sanding a large house with many rooms . Is it prudent?

@@mattmcdonald6034 to dig out more soft grain.
@@mattmcdonald6034 Lagler is telling ppl to wire brush while the floor is moist directly after the pop
Daniel Boone? lol
Might as well not run edger if your going to scrape it

N I'm not criticizing.... I am a floor guy myself
