I have been using a Black and Decker angle grinder for a couple of

I need to know is it possible to get disks for sanding? I have a
couple of areas which were missed on my floor boards from a hired
sander and it just needs tidying up.


A purely circular sanding action tends to leave marks. And an angle
grinder goes too fast for this anyway.


Yup, far too aggressive.


Keep an eye on Lidl - I got an excellent random orbit sander from them
with cheap discs too for not a lot. It makes a brilliant job of
sanding wood.


ROS are deffo the way forward, great stock removal with 40 grit discs,
almost belt sander but docile, rigt up to 240 for fine finish.

But a belt sander is better if you need to remove more
surface.


A certain knack is required to prevent over doing it & gouging the surface.
