| I've been using a cheap Ryobi ROS for about a year, and I'm noticing | that it tends to leave little swirlies on the work, which I have to | hand sand. My question is, are there sanders on the market that are | perhaps less agressive? Are sanders like everything else, where you | get what you pay for? Do some sanders use a finer, faster action, | which leaves a smoother surface for finishing? Is it my technique?
Have you considered finer grit, stearated sandpaper?
| My next project is a butler's table, the top to which is a | patchwork of crossgrain. I won't be able to use a belt sander or | even hand sand it, so the ROS will probably be the best option. Any | suggestions on this would be appreciated.
Have you ever tried using a scraper? If not, it might be time to do that.
