Hey guys,
I've got literally a shed load of pallet wood planks to sand up in my ongoing project of building my Pallet shed in the garden.
I've sanded most of my walls and have now started sanding the internal cladding, with loads to do still i'm finding it very slow going with the current tools that I have.
I've tried a belt sander on the planks with a 60 grit belt but it's barely touching the wood, just seems to be polishing the surface without taking off any wood to leave a nice finish.
I'm now using a foam sanding drum on the end of a drill with a 40 grit sanding belt on, it's working ok but after about 20-30 planks the drum is knackered, having started off with a nice flat surface on the foam drum it doesn't take long before it's rounded or i've caught it on the end of a plank and torn the foam.... quite expensive at almost £8 a drum and i've gone through 3 of them already!!
Any ideas on the best sanding tool for the job?
Many thanks in advance
Kelly
