If you have ever sanded a floor or seen it done then you know what a messy, messy job this can be.

When you are suing hardwood floor sanding equipment you need to make sure that you have all of the right safety equipment on at all times.

The safety equipment that you need at a bare minimum is:

Eye goggles
Dust mask
Ear plugs

Besides the sander itself you will also need to get the paper to go on it and this should be anywhere from 20 to 36 grit sandpaper. This is easy to get and buy, you will probably be able to get it at the same place that you buy or rent your drum sander.

This is not the only kind of hardwood floor sanding equipment that you need either. You still need to get an edge sander. It is this little sander that is going to help you to get into the tight corners and edges so that you can get the entire floor looking even and alike. This sander is much smaller and in some ways more difficult to move. You will have to take care that you are sanding evenly. Move the little machine in a semi circular motion and you will find it a lot easier to use.
