Bottom line is that you're removing 1/16" or so of floor, and the
nails should be sunk that much lower. As for sanding, there's nothing
new out there that won't shred on the nail heads. Sounds like you're
going to have to sand the floor with a hand unit instead of a drum
sander.

Call your professional for the best advice.

Thanks, Abe. I was afraid of that. I guess I'll see what the pros have to
say.

Wood floors can be refinished without sanding......a floor buffer and screen
disks can often prep a floor suitably for refinishing......it abrades the
finish and removes some of it but is not so aggressive to remove the wood or
in your case rounded nail heads. Obviously if the floor is deeply stained,
cupped etc. it doesn't remove that either. It is commonly used for gyms and
handball courts.....if you wanted step by step instructions feel free to ask
away....Rod
