Sanding and staining floors. Can we do it? (Part 1)

Part 1. Watch us sand using an ORECK XL Industrial floor sander/polisher. Supplies were bought at our local Home Depot, spent about $130 for one room so far. Could be less but we are First Timers.

Glad you enjoyed!

Good job learning. Key is not to sand off too much as you weaken your floor. Wood floors get thinner every time you sand them. Look at a piece of wood floor, it's not that thick like 1/4" and some thinner, that have previously been sanded.

Was the machine really loud and do you need to put a lot of strength on it?

[@FirstTimersChannel]

Hi Theresa, the machine we used in the video was loud. I think the sound from the vibrations amplified the noise through the house. At one point we did start adding body weight to the sander to help. If and when we do this again we are going to use a belt sander. Watch this video at 40 secounds kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3yTaGqQp5t6h7M. That sander would allow for faster sanding and clean up work. If the material is thick I would use 50 or 60 grit sandpaper. If its thin start at 80grit. any of the floor sanders you need to keep moving them around on the floors so you don't make dips in the wood flooring. Make sure to watch that Bona series video, they have a ton of great tips. I recommend working on a small section of wood first so you can get the idea of how the sander works and feels. (If possible)
