Hardwood Floors April/May 2024

The term “chatter” is one we are quite familiar with in the wood flooring industry. In my years of involvement with wood floor sanding machines, I have had plenty of dealings with chatter, and the many potential causes. In this article, I am going to offer up why those of us working in the world of “solving floor sanding problems” might be able to better approach getting to the bottom of what actually is causing the chatter, so the next time we hear, “My machine is leaving chatter,” we will have a better pathway to investigate the root causes.
