Which Type Of Sander ?

[Kammo1]

Hi all just would like your views on which type of sander most of you use when sanding the flats of the guitar ie front and back ? I have normally done this by hand with a small rubber block but in all fairness however flat it looks when it comes to the polishing stage you can see some irregularities although they are small I often thik that if I used a large area to sand with maybe this would help.

So I am thinking of a Dual Action sander rotary type so what in fact it will do is skim the surface super flat or maybe not. Your views on this would be greatly appreciated. Kammo1

I've never tried a dual action, so I really can't recommend either way with that. I use a random orbit (air powered) sander and then finish with a block. If it's a flat surface, a block is best unless you're good with the power sander. Just use a larger block.
