Orbital vs. drum sanders - what's the savvy choice for your floors?
If you're committed to the idea of sanding and finishing your hardwood floors, then the first step is to hire your sanding equipment. The best equipment for your task will depend on several factors including the condition of your floor, the finish you want to apply and your level of expertise. One good tip is to always hire dust free floor sanding machinery to significantly reduce the clean up time required between each pass with the sander.
Sanding or screening?
The drum sander uses a sleeve of sandpaper that slides onto the drum which then spins aggressively to cut through the old finish and strip the floor back to the bare wood. You need this level of power if your floors are scratched or you want to get rid of the old finish, fast.
An orbital sander uses a gentler grinding motion. Circular sanding pads oscillate in an orbital motion for a gentler sanding action - ideal if you simply want to apply a coat of polyurethane to protect your floor.
Are you experienced?
Getting a professional finish with a drum sander requires time and patience. You must never set the sander running when in contact with the floor to avoid gouging, and you need to understand the way the grit sequence works so that you don't leave sander swirl on the floor. There's no doubt you can produce a professional finish that looks superb when stained, waxed or varnished, but it takes practice.
The random sanding pattern of the orbital sander is easier to use for a beginner, and you're less likely to cause damage that can't be repaired. But the orbital sander simply doesn't have the grunt of the drum sander which means floor sanding can be a long and drawn out process.
Drum or orbital?
Drum sanding is ideal when your floors are damaged, show signs of cupping or have several layers of old finish that you want to get rid of fast. However, if you find you need to sand against the wood grain, try using an orbital sander to avoid scratching the wood.
Whichever machine is best for your floors, take care to always keep it moving whenever it's in contact with the wood for the best possible results.
