Router table surface smoothing
I recently purchased a Bosch RA1181 router table which has an aluminum top. It's a little rough and grabbing the wood. Has anyone had any luck sanding something like this before? If so, what grit? Wet or dry? Power or hand? etc. Thanks!

I don't really think you would sand metal?
You're probably going to want to do
something like using a double ought steel wall and then going down to 0000 steel wool and then finishing with polishing compound
You should be able to buy a buffing
pad for like a little handheld orbital
Thought some of you might like to see the before and after images.
I used a combination rotary and ROB sander with progressively finer grit (50 to 1200), followed by polishing with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish, and finally paste wax.
