Hi all,

I have a newly laid (by me) parquet floor,in my hallway which is
around 4m x 2m. The wood is pitch pine and laid in a herring bone
pattern.
The surface of the wood is clean (newly sawn) and there are some
planks which "dip" around 1mm so the entire floor will need sanding
down by at least this amount.

My question is what the best type of sander to hire to do this?

The Trio finisher/sander has caught my eye. Does anyone know anything
about this particular machine and whether it would be my best option?

Thanks in advance!

Colin

Normal floor drum sander will do it. Work diagonally. Make sure any
adhesive is well dried first. If it's pitch, don't do it in especially
hot weather.

It's best to sand along the grain, but there is a risk that catching a
crosswise block "sideways" can tip or lift it. Diagonally is good enough
that you don't get cross-grain problems.
