No. Dustless sanding is promoted by a company that makes large vacuums that are installed in trucks. They reduce the dust, but it is not dustless.

No, even the best quality machines can't collect all of the dust. In order to be dustless, you must utilize a dust containment system. Be sure that your contractor has the right equipment, before believing their job well be dustless. Only dust containment systems are dustless. There is no such thing as dustless machine.

Due to manufacturing/distributor shortage, we only have a few covers left. Please check the description for the amount we have left. Please email us if you are unsure. After they are gone, we may not be able to get any more as another distributor has not been found. We are continuing to find another distributor or suitable substitute. top

Before is usually best. It is much easier to touch up the odd scuff on the skirting caused by the edger (although ours have a protective Velcro strip on the front) than try to protect your newly-varnished floor or re-do new lacquer where it has been scratched by ladders or splashed with paint.

When you sand a floor, you get to a new layer of wood, and unless the damage to the wood was too severe, you also sand out the imperfections. What you lose by sanding, is between 1/32 and 1/16 inch of wood thereby reducing the lifespan of your floor.

Yes, in time, all decks need some TLC! As part of our services, we always sand our decks after power washing them to remove any raised fiber or small splinters.

If the sander isn't removing gouges, stains, or other imperfections that require deeper sanding, he will, if he is very good, take off 1/32". If he isn't good, he may take off 1/8".

There will be a fine film in the sanded areas. To keep dust from penetrating other areas of your home, we will applying plastic to doorways using 3M blue tape and thin plastic film, we using dustless sander machine to do the work.

The disc serves only one purpose; it degrades or dulls the shine to match the finish on old porcelain. Allow the repair to dry for 24 hours. Then, lightly sand the surface area to blend the color.

Our machines have bags that collect most of the dust but there will need to be some clean up by others after we have left. We will hang plastic, and vacuum the floors and baseboards of the rooms we sand.

We recommend covering electronics in adjacent rooms with plastic or sheets. If possible, close adjacent room doors and lay a towel at the base of the door. Taping up cabinets with blue painters tape should prevent dust from getting on your plates and your food. The more preparation that is done before we sand, the less clean up will needed when we leave.

No. If you need the appliances moved you will have to arrange for a plumber to remove them before we arrive.

All standard size sheets are machine surface sanded with a two-pass process of 100 and 150 grit. Other sanding options are available upon request, which may result in an up charge. Our sanding processes are not to be considered a finish sanding. The customer should sand the material prior to finishing.

I am an obsessed woodturner just like you. I called a vendor one day to order disks and found that most of the ones I wanted were not in stock, and they wouldn't backorder what they didn't have in stock, it was too small of an order. Upset and in an "I'll show them" frame of mind, I started to think about how i could make my own. I now have a whole lot of commercial dies and a few presses. Heck, I need to use it too, so I might as well have a good supply on hand when I need it.

Change Sanding Discs when the machine is taking too long to get down to bare wood or not making a significant change to the floor's finish.

If your surface finished floors have not been waxed or oiled, re-coating is a great option to extend beauty and longevity. It takes less time, is significantly less expensive than re-sanding and creates less of a mess. If you re-coat your floors every few years, before the finish has worn through, you will prolong the life of the surface of your floor and reduce the need for re-sanding. Recoats fail more than any other process in hardwood floor work.

Ideally yes, although I know sometimes that isn't possible. If you have a sofa that you can’t get out I can work round it. If you have a through room, all of the furniture can go at one end of the room and a sheet dropped down the dividing wall to seal off the two spaces. I have worked a round many sofas and pianos in my 7 years of sanding wooden floors.

If your hardwood floor has been refinished by us previously and you have followed our cleaning and maintenance instructions, then yes this may definitely be an option. (This is of course assuming that the finish is not completely worn through and you aren’t concerned about removing most of the scratches.) In fact recoating your hardwood floors every few years is highly recommended.

In the past painting companies took on the job of floor sanding, often reluctantly, as part of a bigger contract. Typically they hired machines and there was a rush to return them to keep costs down. The machine operators were painters who had little experience in floor sanding and even less enthusiasm for it. They used finishes which were cheap and fast drying many of these products containing known carcinogens. All these factors meant the customers wants and needs were not paramount.

If you get cut, immediately apply pressure to the cut. Wash it out. If it continues to bleed, apply a compress bandage and hold it tightly over the cut. If the cut is deep or it won’t stop bleeding, continue to apply pressure and seek medical attention. Cayenne pepper sprinkled in the cut will sometimes stop the bleeding and also introduce your family to modified yodeling and potentially bad words. It will burn like crazy but cause the small vessels to constrict.

gt; Normally sanding & finishing is a three day process, but allow four in case the finish isn't dry from one day to the next, depending upon weather conditions.

gt; Yes or No. During the sanding process, each sanding machine produce noise and little dust. During the coating, oil based polyurethane makes very strong odor and toxic vapour which will produce an asthma-like response. The floor also should be kept out from walked on for the period of the job. Therefore, we generally recommend not stay in site. But If you have no choise you can select non toxic waterbase polyurethane or natural oil and stay without walk on the job area.,

Check the main and pulley bearings. Shut machine off, remove the plug from outlet and disconnect the motor pigtail. Lay machine back on its handle and rotate one disc. Do the other two rotate? If yes, then the discs are operating properly. Next, rotate the inner bowl a full 360 degrees in both directions. If it rotates freely without heavy resistance then it is also operating properly. Finally, plug the machine back in, keeping away from the bottom of machine, and turn on the sander switch.

The Marblehead Board of Health, after holding public hearings on the issue, adopted local regulations for house sanding. Copies of the regulations are available at the Health Office at the Mary Alley Municipal Building at 7 Widger Rd. No, the Health Department does not pick up Christmas trees. Christmas trees are picked up by the Marblehead Highway Department (781-631-1750) and Tree Department (781-631-2721). No, the Health Department does not pick up dead animals.

Usually at about 3 inches on the ground; variable of atmospheric and pavement temperature conditions are deciding factors.

It can't. It is impossible for a sanding price to compare to a SandFree™ price because of the difference in the cost of labor. Sanding is labor intensive. SandFree™ is labor efficient. If the pricing is close, you need to find out what the hidden charges may be.
