Dewalt Sanding Discs
Hi all
I have a Dewalt Orbital Sander and am about to embark on the process of sanding back all the stained hardwood external doors and windows (about 40 in total) before painting them. There seem to be loads of different discs with different grit types etc. Any advice on which one I should order?? Do I win a prize for the most boring post of the day!?! Cheers!

Wood sanding ? 320 grit seems to be starting point for carpenters.

That’s beautiful millwork, and I’d re-stain rather than paint. Knowing that wasn’t your question, if you’re going to paint, you needn’t sand any finer than 180 grit. Any finer than that and you may have adhesion issues.

Vince, you are going to be doing this for a long time!! Nice stuff.
I would go high grit, anything over 300. You do not want to go lower as it will probably burr the wood. You are simply scuffing it up so the old stain is pored and the new stain can adhere. Good luck |

If you are painting, I would just use a green scotch bright to give it a scuff. A power sander may round over the edges on the fine millwork too much.

Are you painting or re-varnishing?

I would not use any kind of power sander on those doors.
If you are painting you could wash the doors with a scouring sponge and sugar soap, rinse well and then use this product (if available in USA) then undercoat and gloss: https://www.zinsseruk.com/product/bulls-eye-1-2-3/ I have used it on numerous occasions in various situations and found it to be superb. |

Appreciate all the comments guys, lots to think about here.
I also should have been clearer. I’m leaving them as they are on the inside, would be a shame to do anything other than that. It’s the outside that I need to do. Unfortunately, the guy who owned the house before me stained the outside in a mahogany stain and I hate it, so was planning to sand down a little (as it’s also overdue so there is some flaking in places) and then paint over the top. Sorry, couldn’t send pictures of the outside as it’s dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is going to be ALOT of work, if you are painting it just clean it, scuff it (by hand) and use a good bonding primer

You'll get a lot of satisfaction from this job, but it's going to be a ton of work. You could use an orbital with 320 to cut through the stain if it's a true penetrating stain.

Just a side note.... make sure you use a good primer first!! If you don’t, any stain that’s left will bleed through! Good luck!!

Lovely doors and windows you have there, I would personally go with 240 if you have a decent sander, preferably a random orbital to avoid marking the timber over joints. Very rewarding job, I make alot of timber doors and windows and find even priming tedious! Good luck

A lot of that will have to be hand sanded a true labor of love.
