Sanding edges flat.....?

[Amart88]

How do you guys sand the edges of your material? For instance, before attaching the baffle. I have an orbital sander but It seems I can never get the edge to sand flat. It always ends up wanting to round the edges. Really frustrating. I have been trying different techniques with not much luck. So I figured I would ask.

I hold the thing as what I thought was square to the edge and I feel it with my hand and it's all wavy. ....

Any tips/techniques or advice? Thanks.

Run it thru table saw on 45 then sand the edges over. Or router them round

Wood block and sand by hand. Belt sander?

Hard to run a wall thru a table saw lol

Some sort of block and sand by hand? Idk

A wall? My bad bro I miss read this I guess. I would use a long sanding block so you can keep it consistant . That might help you

You can get an electric handheld belt sander. I got mine at Home Depot about 6 months ago for like $50. Works wonders.

I have a belt sander. But damn that thing will remove material. The paper is pretty worn. Maybe i'll give it a go. Then try a block.

I wouldn't do a belt sander. Not enough control on a small foot print. Meaning the corner. I would use a like 2 foot long skinny block like an auto body shop uses . Go rough grit to move material fast then fine grit to Finnish it off. It will take time but I feel it will work good

Thanks man. Yeah I threw this together earlier, seemed to work pretty darn good.
