My 16 year old nephew wants to turn his room into a bed sit. Sanding the floor is the main job I can hire a drum sander for £36 for 3 days. He has already sanded the edges with hand sanders and the floor is about 4m x 4 metres with two coats of emulsion paint on them.
Unfortunately I cannot be there when he does it so how powerful are drum sanders in terms of controlling them or will it control him. He is 6 foot and does weights. I have also ordered 4 40, 80, 120 grit rolls. Enough ? Are there gears on the sander eg slow fast etc so he can control the speed and work his way up if needed or just sand slowly. He is not daft but any advice would reassure me in making it safe and him doing a good job. Thanks
