I have c.40msq of newly laid hardwood floor that needs a sand before finishing...

Am I a massive idiot to consider doing this with a random orbital sander instead of hiring a floor sander?

Wouldn’t you need something that always goes with the grain?

Belt sander maybe?

As there’s no finish on it already and presumably you’ll be using a fine grit I’d be tempted to try with a mid sized tool rather than a floor sander but then I’m hopelessly optimistic when it comes to sanding stuff and get half way through and wonder what the fuck I’m doing.

I don't think that would necessarily be the issue, lots of people use random orbital sanders for wood finishing work so should be fine I that respect...

Just wondering if I'll end up spending an extraordinary length of time doing it and regret it...
