Lee, I don't have a belt sander, but I did run an orbital sander over the railing cap and I did use the router to chamfer all the edges of the railing cap and the ends of the deck boards. So far, everything looks pretty good. The miters at the corners of the railing seem to be holding up well so far. I biscuit joined them together, and angle screwed them together from below, so I am hoping they will stay joined for a few years before they start to open.
