Keep it steady and always go with the grain. If it is an orbital just let it float.

you may get a extremely good belt sander for approximately 60 greenbacks, and if you're going to apply a hand sander for this activity, this is the kind you like. whether, you may hire a professional floor sander and the edger to pass with it for an afternoon for decrease than that, and shop your self actually ninety% of the hard artwork. Plus, you walk in the back of it (like a lawnmower), quite than having to artwork out of your knees, along with your back hunched over all day. have faith me, sanding an entire floor or porch by potential of hand is undesirable, and takes continuously, at an identical time as utilising a professional sander gets it finished in a pair of hours. There are kit condominium places everywhere, interior sight ones, chains like RSC, i think of even homestead Depot has sanders.

a good trick for a belt sander is not to hold the trigger for a long time. When you want to sand just a bit, hit the trigger and hold the sander on your piece and let the belt stop. This will prevent over sanding.
Good Luck

yes, go with the grain, especially if it is a floor sander, and don't rush it, and don't push down on it

Don't gouge the surface, keep it moving and don't keep in on and plug it in.
