What is the best type of sander to refinish an oak parquet floor?
Filed Under (sanders) by admin
idahosf asked:


I have a 57 y/o home with an oak parquet floor. I am removing the carpet that has overlaid this floor for at least the past 10 years. The floor is in pretty good shape, but has patterns left from the carpet padding, staple and nail holes all over the place, and a few worn areas, but nothing seriously wrong (that I have encountered so far, that is).

My wife and I plan on refinishing this floor in the near future. Because the floor is parquet (12×12 blocks with 5 identical wood strips that run parallel with each other, but perpendicular to the neighboring blocks), I won’t be able to use a belt sander.

Thanks in advance!

    A rented one. The place has the exact sander and sanding grits you will need. Takes a fraction of the time and collects the dust. There is a LOT of dust.
