End Grain Cutting BoardPosted on May 16, 2010. How a grain of sand to a cutting board flat? I'm a fine-grained sand cutting board, and of course its very important I get the flat surfaces. Because its fine grain, I can not run it through my planer, so I'm working with a belt sander and a random orbital sander, but I can not get a flat surface. Is there a trick to this? I always seem to have an oscillation on the corners when I put the board on a flat surface. Almost need a sander, table and a 150 grit belt. Then sand lightly with an orbital with 120 grit. Caution DO NOT use the edges of the orbit, the use of the medium. When the fine-grain planing, the plane iron should be the other way, which can be done with a meal plan. If you have a plan for Jack, remove iron and return it so that the bevel is higher. And obviously, not too much "bite" on it. Use a sanding drum on your drill press. When absolutely necessary to have fine grain exposed, as you say, it can be sanded flush by attaching two parallel strips of wood (3 "-4" wide and 3-4 "beyond the end of the cutting board) along each side, slightly below the line of existing board.
