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).

I got the info from the Mako forum(where they rebuild Mako power boats.

If it's true then i need to account for that when prepping for varnish etc...
