When sanding is mentioned, most woodworkers groan. But sandpaper achieves results that no other tool can match. whether it is taming wild grain without tearout, perfecting a curve, or getting a totally smooth surface prior to finishing, you’d be lost without sandpaper. And so would generations of woodworkers.

2010年3月2日 · Hi, I recently purchased my first hand plane and want to set it up the way it is supposed to be set. One of the things I have read to do is attach sandpaper to a saw table and run the sole of the plane accross the paper untill the bottom is perfectly flat. I was wondering if I could get some advice as to which adhesive is best for this purpose and what to use to clean it …

2007年1月31日 · The Woodworking Show is coming to my neck of the woods and I want to stock up on paper. If we narrow it down to say 150 to 220 grit Aluminum Oxide 5″ disks for sanding bare, flat Cherry wood on a PC333 sander, who makes your favorite paper? Keef. p.s.

2003年10月2日 · Steel wool does not cut back a finish as well as sandpaper, so I never use it between coats. Steel wooled surfaces will only be marginally more smooth, because it won’t easily remove areas of raised grain or dust specks. I sand between coats of varnish to remove any dust specks in order to reduce the final sanding.

2020年1月26日 · I sand until I cannot see sanding marks . You sand down to where you want the wood to look and feel like (unless you are using oil based stain). I use shellac a lot and on nice pieces, I sand down to 180 or 220 grit with the grain and 1000 on the lathe (across the grain).

Going from sanding bare wood to sanding a finish involves a change of gears. Instead of power-sanding using grits mostly P220 or coarser, you typically hand-sand using grits P320 and finer. The first coat of finish, whether a purpose-made sealer or just a thinned coat of the final finish, generally leaves a rough surface with raised grain ...

2005年3月7日 · Beyond 220 adhesion dropped off due to burnishing of the underlying wood particularly when non-linear machine sanders (orbital) were used. This was tested on birch panels. We also found that the resulting smoothness of the first coat of finish was not materially affected by the smoothnes of the underlying wood for sandpaper grits between 150 ...

2012年8月17日 · It’s a smart way to keep sandpaper flat, sorted and within easy reach. Bill’s crowning touch is a built-in blade for cutting sheets to size for the sanding block. The free download includes the original winning submission to the magazine’s Methods of Work column, complete with annotated color illustrations.

2019年11月22日 · I’d like to refinish a pecan wood table which I purchased about 40 years ago. It has scratches and water marks. What final size sandpaper grit is needed to ensure there are no scratches when I start staining, etc. The table grain goes mostly in one way with the exception of the edges. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks

2005年2月8日 · After the second coat, the wood will be completely sealed and it's no longer necessary to leave the finsh on so long before wiping "dry." About 10 minutes will do. You can wipe to check your progress as you "sand." It's more like oiling the wood than sanding.
