Using The Belt Sander | Page 5 of 6
 Be sure to keep the belt sander working along the wood grain, slowly rocking the sander back and forth until the untreated wood shows through. Give each floorboard a uniform amount of exposure to the belt sander to avoid an uneven finish later. Since you'll be going through the grits to get a smoother finish, don't strive for layer-peeling perfection on that first pass.
When the sandpaper shows its wear and begins to lose its grip on the floor using the belt sander, portions of it can in fact be reused for the touch-up jobs with the disc sander.
 Remove the sandpaper, then with shears, cut out a quick circle with the same diameter as your disc sander. Load it into the disc sander, and you'll get longer use out of the paper, while saving some money in the process.
