Also with the disc edger he did great work and I made great gouges. And then there is the art of the floor buffer with the sanding screens... Basically you might hire a pro to do the sanding.

The best belt sander I've used had what appeared to be a motorcycle throttle on one handle. That 'throttle' controlled the pressure of the belt on the floor. It was way better than the kind of on/off control you get with HD sanders.
