I am either going crazy or Google Groups has decided that it doesn't like the word "sand" or "sander" in the wreck. I get about 15 results for either term. Trying to research edge sanders, and previously I was getting results but now I get... 2. Other words seem to be returning normal results. Does google not think I should get one?
I am mainly curious about what kind of surface do they leave? Will a
150 grit belt get me close to a finished surface and last a reasonable amount of time? I don't have a lot of experience with belt sanders.I am doing more small production runs of small dovetailed boxes, between 6-9" length of sides and 3-5" high. Currently I do all the sanding after assembly with a ROS (the small Festool) and then a bit of hand sanding and with a stack of 20 boxes to go through 3 grits it's not the least bit fun. If I could totally eliminate the ROS and go straight to hand sanding that would be fantastic.
