I just ordered a drum sander (This is the first time that I will have one or use one) and got some questions.
I have my jointer for the initial dimensioning, but when I joint several pieces to make a wider piece I need to remove some more material.
The wood can move after the joining and cause not being flat, so I need to sand or plane by hand to get to the right dimension.
That is the reason I ordered the drum sander to help with the last dimensioning.
What sandpaper grit should I use to start the dimensioning? Is it good idea to start with a grit like (60 - 80) or is it too much?
Should the "grit protocol" be the same for regular ¾ or ½ thickness and ⅛ or 1/16 veneer cut at the band saw? or the veener should use a higher grit because it is too thin.
I don't plan to use it for commercial veneer.
