I'll be refinishing a large dining room table.

What's the best type / make etc. power sander for getting the old finish
off without creating striations in the wood? Obviously, I'd like to keep
the cost down.

Also, what about sand paper grades?

Thanks

1/4 or 1/2 sheet finishing sander. porter cable is a good one.
you might want to strip the old finish off with chemicals instead, which
depends upon what the finish is.

ask in rec.woodworking.
