I was in the workshop tonight, and I'm making a 14" x 28" top for a music centre planned down to 7/8" some white oak 10" wide. So I put it through my performax 16/32 with 100 grit so the planer marks are away. Thats all I think the performax is really good for too many lines show up even with finer grits. But the question is finishing from here. Should I use a
- Reciprocating sander (i dont actually own one) or use an
- Orbital sander (I have and use one of these)
Which gives the better finish and what is a suitable final grade
180/240/360?
