FLOOR CARE/ SANDING TOOLS::
FLOOR SANDER (drum)

• If the floor itself is in bad shape, start with a drum sander; if it just needs refinishing, use a vibrating sander instead. When drum sanding, start with the coarsest sandpaper grit typically 36 or 40 grit then switch to 60 grit. Finish with 80 or 100 grit. Move the sander along the length of the boards, with the grain. Work it back and forth over 3'-4' lengths, overlapping strokes by at least 1/3 the belt width.
• GOOD IDEA: Trial Run
• A drum sander is difficult to maneuver until you get the hang of it. Start with fine sandpaper, then switch to coarser grades when you're more comfortable.
