RO125 on table legs: sanding flat with no roll-off

[Gene Davis]

I want to get this right.  They are not table legs but full-height standards for etageres.  In clear cherry that cost me a bunch, they are 1.7 inches square and about 75 inches long.

I have the stock sort-of-soft pad and the white hard pad.

So I am overthinking this in my usual fashion.  Each unit has four standards and I am making a run of five of these etageres.

See the pic attached.  A jig is envisioned with the work part in the center.  The two flanking pieces are there to keep me from sanding any roll-over onto the surfaces.

Just use a good sharp card scraper or hand sand them. Goes really fast, and you don't have to build a jig or worry about rounding off the corners.

I just clamp the four legs together on the bench and rotate their position from center to edge before I'm done sanding.  I have used this method with my RO90 and my ETS 150/3.

Thank you for teaching me a new word.  Two years of high school French, and I never picked that one up.

A hand planer may be used where you would use 40-180gr and the card where 240-400gr is used.
