I am thinking to buy it to sand my hard wood floor in bedrooms. Would it do the job? I don't mind taking longer time as I only have a hour each day.

I used it to sand a table and chair set which it did really well. Since then I have started sanding and refinishing our kitchen cabinets. using course paper it will take off material quickly.

I wouldn't want to use it refinish hardwood floors. I think it would be too time consuming. I think you would be better off purchasing a hand-held belt sander. I think a belt sander would work better and I think you'll have a wider selection of sand grit coarseness in the sanding belts. I have the highest course grit disks you can get on my Dewalt disk sander and it doesn't sand as thoroughly as a belt sander with a sanding belt with half the course grit.

It would probably be tough to get into the corners and whatnot, and the disk is also pretty rough, so you'll definitely need to sand quite a bit afterwards. That being said, it really didn't tear up the wood on my house when I used it. I was taking paint off cedar, which is quite soft. Hope that helps!

If you can stabilize it, then yes. If that's all you're using it for, though, I'd go with something stronger. This is a great tool, but it's really for getting into nooks and crannies more than heavy-duty flat-sanding.

I don't have hard wood floors but I do have ceramic tile floors and on the lowest setting it works fairly well, not as good as sweeping but it does pick up the dust balls and dirt. The corners are an issue so I will use the crevice tool. The only thing I might be concerned about using this on hard wood floors or vinyl tiles would be the brush might be too rough for it but I do not know for certain.

As long as you degrease the area first and have enough contact I think it would work very well. It's very coarse like 220 grit sandpaper.

As people have said it a mechnaical dust mop, it will pick up a small amount of sand in the cleaning pad, but it will also push it around too scratching floors in you have a lot. I live on a beach/sand island so everything I tred-in has a bit of sand and this will deal with a few grains off shoes. But, a beach house with people tracking in sand all day it won't deal with. In fact a normal low-end Roomba will do a poor job on that. For a beach house I would buy the Roomba 880/870 series. (Too bad the DirtDog was discontinued)

My understanding of sanding wood floors is you need a belt sander and MUST sand in the direction of the grain. This is a great sander but it's orbital so I would think it would not be optimal for floors. I use this to sand the bottom of my boat. What's really great is there are holes in the sanding disks and with a shop vacuum hooked up it's virtually dustless but again - I think you need a belt sander.

probably not this is more of a polisher than a sander I have done many floors and I usualy get the rental belt sander and orbital sander for the sanding and leveling then you will need an edge sander to get up to the trim wear a mask and I reccomend a tyvec suit, it gets rough with old finish

Yes to fast sanding. It is very heavy but. I actually returned it for a king. Which had a back pack fir motor. It's better. But I also bought the small aleko for 80 bucks. I like it the best, it's more on the style of a grinder. Hand held. They all hook up to shop vac but you need to duck tape it so it stays in. But I would recommend any of them over hand sanding and they get 90 % of dust, just get a good filter. The blue filter from home depot

It is pretty good! It last for a good half hour of foot sanding, then you would have to plug it up for charging.

The Bosch is a great tool but I only use it for door jams when installing a floor (hardwood) and such small jobs. I wouldn't recommend using it for a large project such as the one you referred to.

I thought I just answered this question. This would be the way to go about your sanding job. Good luck...

Yes, this is a wonderful sander and should work great. Also you can use sandpaper from other models if choose.

I would say the variable speed sander is better adapted to type of surface, hardness of wood, etc., where you might use it, because the speed can be adjusted.

Not really. The connections are light weight plastic to make sanding overhead easier. Sanding a wood floor requires a lot of pressure and I dont think the fittings will handle that It works great on drywall.

Yes, I think it might do well with sand. My opinion, this particular sweeper is not strong in power. It doesn't stay charged long either. I use it mainly on hardwood flooring and one area rug and it's dead. There are other Bissell sweepers I've purchased that were cheaper in price and worked better. Go figure. :) good luck, hope this helps some.

I have used it as such but since the lowest grit I could find is 80, it isn't ideal for it. Most wood floors you will want to sand using lower grit the first timet hrough.
