Hi all,
Hope this is the right place for this question but here goes...

I need to sand a floor that's Previously been sanded & varnished (although I'd say it was a fair while ago) but I can't get a big drum/floor sander onto the job. Can I use a belt sander? Will it be better than the half sheet sander I have?

All advice & suggestions appreciated
Thanks

Yes, use a belt sander.

how big is the area if its more than 5 square metres go for a 3" more than 10 go for a 4"

That'd be a good idea but need to get all the dirty work done by Friday & wouldn't get it in time. But thanks for the suggestion, will keep it in mind :)
