Yes, I did think about using a belt sander, as I have one of those attachments that help keep the sander flat and prevent further gouges, but I'm thinking it could take a long time and a lot of replacements sanding belts before I get through 2/3mm of oak over a surface area of about 2m2!! :?

I can remember seeing a thread for tear out recently (but didn't read it) so forgive me if this repeat stuff. I've almost finished a dining table in Oak and went to plane the table top and now have several quite deep gouges :oops: Is there anyway to deal with this other than cutting the table...
