This to all the wood theorists, rocket scientists, and deep thinkers out there and for that matter anybody who has an opinion on the matter.
Now we have all heard that we must sand down through the grits and never miss one http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/no.gif tis a cardinal sin of wood turners everywhere to miss one.
Now when I started out a few years back I could not afford to buy all the grits within the brand I was using, namely Noritake Astra dot. So I took a punt and bought a range at the same time got a inertia sander and a few power sanding heads.
Love technology http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/actions/2thumbsup.gif so couldnt help myself. http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/happy/biggrin.gif
This sort of sanding produces very fine results a few grades down the range than the grit being used and so jumping a few grits works, well for me any way. http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
So my question is, Why? http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/standard/confused.gif Why does this sort of sanding produce the result it does.
