Finishing sander
The QuickWood finishing sander is used for a final sand before the wood is ready for stain and sealer. The finishing sander is used to sand wood with a profile so that all areas of the material will be sanded exactly the same. This assures uniformity is grain opening. Since normal belts cannot do this job QuickWood has developed a special brush/abrasive combination that is flexible enough to go into the profile and sand in a deeply recessed area. The maximum flex of a brush sanding machine is approximately 1 and ½ inches or almost 150mm. This will work on most all cabinet doors, mouldings,door fronts and other 3 diamentional pieces.
Using the QuickWood brush abrasive system offers the following benefit to wood products before stain and sealer is applied:
* Even Sanding to guarantee consistent pore opening which will eliminate blotchy stain color
* Uniform edge break (slight rounding) of sharp edges and corners to eliminate weak areas in the finish where stain and sealer will not adhere.
*Removing of loose fibers in the surface of the wood both in the profile and on the top surfaces. This will reduce the consumption of sealer that has to be applied as the wood fibers will not absorb the sealer. Also removing the fibers before stain and sealer reduces the fiber pop or roughness that is felt on the surface after the sealer has dried. This will make sealer sanding much easier and make for a better finish.
*Color consistency piece after piece. Most people know that hand sanding is inconsistent at best. Utilizing a machine to sand the door with even pressure gives the work piece uniformity in color as each area of each piece of material is sanded exactly the same.
