Sorting out the swirls?

[Jbmccombe]

When I bought my Rotex, I watched this video which convinced me that this was a good tool for a do everything sander.


Hopefully the link works, but basically he ends up getting a polished finish on purple heart.

Tom, was wondering what grit paper you use with your ETS 125 for sanding the finishes and what your process is for getting the nice finish shown in the photos. Thanks

I'm considering shooting a video on how I sand with the Rotex. Need the time and job to do it on.

Granat 240-400, depends on the finish and which coat I'm sanding. All finishes are sprayed with a Fuji Q4 HVLP except the bar top, that is hand applied Waterlox.

I for one (of many I assume), would like to see your video Tom.  I only recently realized that the "aggressive" mode of the RO series sanders is actually DA.  I've been doing a bit of playing around with my RO 150 and 90 since then.  I think what some of us less-knowledgeable users could really use is more info on the differences between the RO series and the dedicated finish sanders.

At this point, ....I believe I hear a train coming...I nominate you for the task.

Happy New Year
