I used 4 sanders on this project, and two of them did the majority of stripping the old finish off. EC 125/3 and EC 150/5 loaded with Granat 60 or 80 grit ate through the old Varnish and Stain, even though the 125/3 is not really aggressive with just a 3mm orbit.
New style DTS 400 handled corners and RTS 400 reworked light sanding or one really tight spot on the wall trim. Vac was my MIDI for this one. It fits on stair landings easily and allows you to pass by it in a hurry, back and forth since its footprint is so small compared to my CT 26 and 36 Auto. I like this picture of the two EC sanders side by side. Tell Tyler C. at Festool that I release the rights to it for their use in next years catalog... ![]()

Old Original Wood hiding behind the removed door hardware. You can see the veneer on the door is cracking with age. Hopefully this refinishing prolongs its life...
![]() Corners cleaned up with DTS, and then it was time to gently scrap the small profile sections of the panels with a Bahco scraper. I buy Beading Tool blank blade stock from Lee Valley and grind the best fitting profile I can manage on their excellent steel blades for something like this. The narrow blades fit the Bahco Scraper even though they weren't made it it. And unlike the Carbide Blades that the Bahco comes with, at least with hardened steel blanks I can grind them with the grinding wheels I have. ![]()

So little casing that it went fast in sanding it. Filled nail holes after sinking a few a bit lower that were found by the Granat as I was sanding the wood.
I use Timbermate Wood Filler, really works well for me. This project got their' Mahogany' version since it matches the stain color I was using well enough not to stand up under the finished wood as an eyesore.... ![]()

This looks really great, Callan! Nice job. Is this the same door you refinished a few years back? It looks almost charred in those first few pictures. I didn't realize that you mid-Westerners got actual sun!
![]() Those sanders certainly did the trick. And your finish looks great - I'm sure the neighbors will appreciate it! Thanks for sharing!
