With no income and half a floor sanded my trusty Bosch orbital started messing about on me, sparking, changing speed. |

Bosch, Black & Decker sell toy stuff that looks nice and is not too heavy. If you have a real job get real tools eg Makita, de Walt. good luck |

are you trying to do this job with a hand sander? surely not it will take for ever, use a ton of sandpaper while leaving the floor uneven. Rent a proper floor sander it doesn't cost a lot. |

I did it with a belt sander a few years ago but the wheelchair took all the varnish off so I am just giving it a bit of a skim and re-varnishing. |
