    Sorry Joe, another question. I have a couple of bulges at the edge on my particle board flooring, the worst is 3/16″ – do I use a belt sander, and if so which do you recommend?

    So not belt, purchase an angle grinder and use these?

      Do you have a video on correcting this issue with an angle grinder by any chance? Haven’t used an angle grinder before, so not sure how best to tackle – basically I have two sheets of plywood that have “tented” where they meet by a good 1/4 of an inch which would mean I’d have to raise the floor on both sides by that amount! I also have one board that rises up by that much with the same impact…

    I don’t. You can certainly use a belt sander to knock that down. Just be sure to sink the nails or screws down into the floor farther so the belt on the belt sander does not hit them and tear the paper.
