Sanding Stairs By Hand

August 03, 2021

A flat sanding disk spins rapidly while the entire head of the sander revolves. You can create a makeshift sanding aid by wrapping a piece of sandpaper around a block of wood that fits in your hand.

A hand-held random orbital is the best hand-held power sander for hardwood stairs because it minimizes the risk of cross-grain sanding scratches.

Sanding stairs by hand. If it is peeling scrape off any loose stuff and sand 40 grit and work you way up to 150 grit. We were able to sand the steps with our little electric detail sander but because of the detail in the balusters and stringers almost everything else had to be sanded by hand. Hold on tight when you turn the sander on.

It takes the time it takes you can only use the large grit and be patient. For the initial sanding we used coarse 80 grit sandpaper. Place your belt sander on each stair hold with both hands and apply a bit of pressure but not too much pressure that can damage your wood.

You cant muscle your way through it. Tear sandpaper sheets into fourths then fold them into pieces just big enough to hold with three fingers. Yep that is the dust on our dark mahogany brown handrail.

When it comes to this topic the most important thing to discuss is efficiency. The proper way to sand spindles is with two grades. The exact same way you would with floor sanding machines but with a lot more elbow grease.

Use a handheld orbital sander ideally with a gear-driven setting. Hand-sanding is preferable for fine finishes and delicate pieces. If its in good shape no peeling then just a light sanding 100-150 grit to abrade the surface is sufficient.

Hand-sanding is necessary for good results when finishing stair spindles rails newel posts or any other component used in stair rail assembly. The belt sander is an aggressive tool so be gentle with it. The upper stairs where the chemical stripper had stayed on longer were much quicker to sand off.

Pressing on a hand sander will overheat your unit. Start with a low grit like 40 climb to 60 80 then 100. Move the sander back and forth slowly so you can cover every area.
