I've never done any real furniture renovation and use my Festools mostly for new construction and occasional paint removal. I will be renovating my fathers old dining room table made of massive pine. The table top is about 3 m2 (30 sq ft) and quite worn with dents approximately 2-3mm deep. The obvious solution is to take the table top to a wood shop and use a big planer, but for various reasons this isn't an option. I'm hoping to get the job done with my Rotex 150 and an ETS 150/3. I only have the standard pad (black) for both of them. I'm planning on using only Rubin 2 in four different grits, starting with the Rotex in RO mode with P40, then in standard mode P80, switch to the ETS for P120 and finally P220.
1) Does my grit progression make sense? Should I perhaps start with Saphir in an even lower grit like P24?
2) Should I get the hard pad (blue) for one or maybe both of the sanders?
