: is it true that with the DA sander that 220 grit is same as 400 grit by hand?
: ...80 grit would be like 160 grit by hand...because the DA sander removes its
: on scratches. (sounds like weird logic to me).

That's a new one... Wish it was true. If the same grade sandpaper is used, the depth of the scratches will be the sam. The dual action (or random-orbit) sander just makes the scratches less obvious.
