Sanding and LOML

[John Buzzurro]

I go straight from ROS to finishing. I make sure to step through all the grits gradually - e.g., 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220. As mentioned before, wipe off the dust good between grits.

Update - I made a unilateral decision and as we were driving home from working on a habitat house we stopped by the borg and got an ROS. She loves it. I hooked it up to the cyclone and even though it doesn't have the SP of a shop vac it still has terrific dust collection. The sanding is fast and perfect. She absolutely loves the quality of the finish, the DC, and how easy it is on her hands. In fact, now I'm in trouble for not getting one of these sooner!!! Thanks for all the help.

Tom, I have good luck with ROS but I do a quick hand sanding afterwords using the next finer grit. It's quick and painless.
