Default Sanding face frames with ROS, right across the joints?

I was amazed at how easy face frames became when my first ROS sanded

So, is this the consensus? I can sand over the joints in a face frame
with a random-orbit sander without cross-grain scratches? Is this only
for finer grits?


Try it Greg - you will see whatever you need to see. Better than asking
here.


I can see that the random-orbit action does not obviously favor any
particular direction, so I guess that answers the question. But being
a novice, I have to ask.


Oh... no you don't. You've proven yourself pretty adept at putting your
hand to new ideas. Just put your hand to this. Give it a try...
