What happens here

For a thorough and efficient stripping of the remaining flat and semi-flat surfaces, utilize a random orbital sander. The speaker mentions using 'Echotorm 80-grit abrasive' and references both 3x4 and 5-inch sanders. A 5-inch random orbital sander with an 80-grit abrasive is ideal for aggressive material removal. Position the hardwood door on stable sawhorses. Move the random orbital sander in broad, overlapping strokes across the door's surfaces, ensuring complete coverage. The rotary and orbital motion helps prevent swirl marks and provides a consistent stripped surface.

Goal: Thoroughly remove old finish from the hardwood door
