Another sanding question
Hi,
This is a flat wood question, but I know there are enough knowledgeable people here to get a good answer. SWMBO has a hutch base that is to be refinished. ( I expect to display some turnings in the completed hutch.) I took the existing finish (varnish or poly) off the top with a 1/2 sheet, dual action pad sander, but it took hours. The wood is combinations of solid oak and oak veneer plywood. I'm now thinking about using a belt sander for the removal of the finish on the ends and front. The big question is whether or not a belt sander is advisable on veneer, or is the problem of cutting through to base plywood too big a probability? What grit belt wouold you start with on veneer? The belts I have here now are 80, 120, 150, and 220. All opinions appreciated. Ken Moon Webberville, TX. |
