Various Sander Recommendations:

 

Festool – 6″ Rotex  Sander

Use 100 Grit paper in Direct Drive (Up position) for Seams and Deep Scratches.  Then for

finish sanding, switch to Random Orbit.  Start in the corner of the project and evenly

and consistently rotate through all areas with each Sandpaper grit.  Between paper

changes, wipe off the surface.

 

Quad Master Sander

This 15″ Random Orbit Sander is perfect for larger surfaces (islands, conference

tables, transaction tops, etc) it provides an even, consistent finish.

 

Gem Sander

When you have a really dark color, use a 6″ Sander to sand down to S500.  Then

switch to the Gem  Sander using Trizact paper – use Blue (A-10) and then

Orange (A-5).  Lastly, buff with 3M-05955 Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound

2 to 3 times over the entire top with a polishing bonnet.

 

Dynabrade 5″ Air Sander

Use the 5″ Dynabrade and the Radius Pad for Cove.  Use 100M, 80M, 60M

 

Dynabrade 3.5″ Air Sander

Use the flat pad for Sinks, Corners, underneath edges and to get the glue

line out of sink.   Use 180 Grit and 220 Grit self stick paper (rolls of 100)
