I think the 600 wouldn't be necessary but how bout the 220?

When I mean ruff cut I mean I just glue on a shelf or thingamabob using the table-sawed edge. I wouldn't do this for building the structure of a tank though
I never sand any edge to be glued. Either it is routered for a good edge, or a quick job on a top, shelf, cover, or any other non holding water part that does not need to look great, will jsut get the table saw and flame polish.
