Sanding Panels

This video shows how I sand panels, large and small.  I start with 120 grit and follow with 180 grit.  The belts I use are White non-loading sanding belts to resist clogging.  They cut much longer that the regular resin coated belts.

The 4 x 24 belt sanders I use have graphited canvas platens that have replaced the spring metal ones that come with these sanders.  The result is a cooler running belt and a smoother cut.

I have also implemented a single source dust collection system that allows me to have superior dust collection for both sanders.
