So I've finally finished my jigs and made a thickness sander driven by my lathe, and started to attack my first guitar set. The guitar sets are about 4.5mm thick and need to come down to about 2mm. The sanding drum set up has a 3" diameter drum loaded with 80 grit green paper and works pretty well, providing I use light passes. It takes a long time and lots of passes, so is this normal? Is patience required or a lower grit paper such as 40 or 60? Thanks, Mike.
