Floor sanding questions.
So I’ve laid the reclaimed beech. There’s a few spots where the boards have a lip of about 1mm. I’d planned on just doing it with a belt sander and an orbital. A bit of time on google has me doubting this. The floor is in a hallway and a toilet, so it’s a lot of narrow space, and it’s only about 10 sq m.
The thing that has me a bit confused is that a lot of advice online is for sanding existing floors - which includes sanding off the lacquer or varnish. Because I don’t have that to deal with, will a belt and orbital sander be sufficient, or should I hire a proper floor sander and edging sander? Energy for the job is running low, keen to not fuck up the finishing.
