Thanks Bob, I've been meaning to take a long look at that machine myself. I get an average of three e-mails a week concerning finishing of kitchen cabinets. Here are a few comments that may be helpful. There are many finishes available on the market. They include paint in any color imaginable, washed stains, and polyurethane.
Most finishing products are very easy to apply and produce excellent results.
In the last three years about eighty percent of my kitchen cabinet renovations have been finished with a clear satin polyurethane. The majority of clients seem to want the naturally finished wood cabinet, primarily oak. I have also finished a few kitchen projects using the semi-transparent washed stains that were easy to apply and gave excellent results. Large cabinet shops often use lacquer finishes on their cabinet work. They apply the lacquer in spray booths with a paint compressor.
