What happens here

After the table has been thoroughly stripped of previous paint layers (in this case, six coats), the initial sanding phase begins. The user employs a 3x4 Ekasand orbital sander to sand the table, specifically targeting the legs and other larger, flatter surfaces. This step is crucial for smoothing out any remaining imperfections from the stripping process and creating an even foundation. The sander is shown connected to a dust extraction system to keep the work area clean and minimize airborne dust.

Goal: Refine the table's surface and remove imperfections after paint stripping
