Do you need to sand this much if you are just going to repaint?

My son & I are just starting to refinish furnature (working on our first piece) we have found you videos extremely helpful!

Great tips!
You mention the sand on the surface even though you have it hooked up to your shop vac - good point
That’s why I wear a mask😉

I do have a question about changing your sand paper all the way to 220. Have you since changed that? I ask because you said it closes the pores of the wood and it doesn't absorb the stain. Is that true for paint also or just stain? If you could clarify that for me. I am researching so I can work on some pieces I have here at home. Thank you for your tutorials I find them very helpful.

What model of Festool sander is that? Have you ever used it to sand a door? I am sanding some interior doors and then staining them. Used a palm sander that left swirls. Veneer may be one that can only be done by hand since it scratches really bad when you cross the grain. And all of the sanders will cross the grain. Thank you.
