I have a 1/8 thick 48" x 60" X 12" metal cabinet will using my ROS to sand it cause me wood finishing problems later. I posted a longer question in metal working but no one there.

I have used my PC ROS for automotive work, both steel and fiberglass as well as cleaning up my cast iron table tops, then just change the disk and use it on wood with no problem.

I've used mine to re-hab old tools in the past. Just surface rust on the tops but no ill effects and they're still going strong.

Thanks for the reassurance I am going to wash it down with dawn (some grease stains) use a chemical stripper wash again sand to bare metal wipe down with prepsol primer and paint I will post pictures but I am not sure where on the site - - the ROS question belonged here the finished metal cabinet - - finished project maybe??

If you're gonna strip anyway, why wash first?
Blow out the sander when you're thru.
