| I am a general contractor who has recently installed a new red oak hardwood floor and am shopping for a floor sander rental. Most of the rental outlets offer the Essex Silverline drum sander. It is a lightweight sander that is notorious for leaving chatter marks. Is there anyone who knows where I can find a larger professional machine, for rent, in the S. Florida area? Where do the pros get their machines and are any available for rental. |

I hate using the word but I'll leave initials. HD. The sanders they rent out are the square ones like a vibrating palm sander. Its hard to leave chatter marks with those unless its a soft pine floor like mine.
In which case you'll end up on your knees like I did with my orbital sander after the floor guys left sanding out the chatter marks.
