I have been asked to create a end table top for my daughter who of course picked out natural edge boards but overall the board was badly warped. I took the warped board to the band saw and cut 3" stips. Then Jointed and planed and glued up the boards. The boards are flat the end natual edge looks great. I need to sand out the slight ripple effect of the TP and Jointer. I have a belt sander but was wondering what grip to start with and end with? Then I have a random orbit sander which I would step from 80 thru to 220. The only belt I have 40 grit and probably too rough for the wood. Shoild I start with the belt at 60 or 80 then stop at 120, then go to ro sander or continue with the belt sander all the way to 220? I guess my question boils down to for a belt sanded to clean up a bunch of 3" boards glued up into at 24x20 top what grit should I start with? I scraped off most of the glue so some will still need to be removed by the belt sander. It will be a natural poly finish. Thanks Michael

Came in a no nonsense plain brown box. Packed well. Initial impressions, very solidly built, a tad heavy, sealed on/off buttons, 6' cord, box style DC. Nice, comfortable top grip. Not too soft, not too hard, just right. Variable speed. Velcro pad. Came with 6 sanding discs. Minimal vibration on high. Fairly aggressive, great DC. Hardly any residual dust after 5 minutes of use with 80 grit. Easily controlled on crotch grained mesquite. It replaces a not quite dead PC 5". I think I'll like this one better.
