  • Are you sanding off paint or just sanding bare wood. It's common to use a delta sander and a square random orbital type. Festool also do a linear sander which works well. Having only 1 sander is not really a thing, over time you end up with at least 4 or 5 and use a few on most jobs.

    One of the most useful I have is the Festool RTS400, if you are looking to have just one sander then this is the one I would choose. A multitool with a delta sanding attachment is useful for the corners. Sharp chisels work well for the corners too.

    If they are painted I would recommend stripping the paint rather than sanding it off. Use an IR stripper or chemical stripper.

  • Cheers for the reply. Happy to buy multiple sanders. Just picked up a pointy one for the corners. The stairs are bare wood, maybe some paint but very thin patchy and flaky. And sander model recommendations for around 50 quid? Or is that too cheap?
