How to smooth rough wood floors.

I am disappointed by the rough finish. Thank you for your replies we rented a drum sander and started with a 36 grit followed by an 80 grit and finished with a 120 grit the wood felt as smooth as glass before the first coat of polyurethane was put down we are using minwax oil base gloss polyurethane for floors the can says no sanding between coats required we are going to put a fourth coat on this evening but i will lightly sand. It appears that there was debris and in some places brush hairs under the oil based poly throughout. It s fuzzy with exposed fibers with an inconsistent surface.

We ve had hardwood installed in our home and the floors are completely smooth except some roughness around 1 4 inch at the edges near the baseboard. Here is an update.

I had the owner of the company who did the work take a look and he said it is a little rough feeling but that is how this finish feels. He said it is not comparable to coats of semi gloss streetshoe which is the floor i always refer to when talking to him this floor has 2 coats of sealer and 2 coats of streetshoe and feels. I applied the 2nd coat of satin poly minwax super fast drying polyurethane for floors and the floor feels mostly smooth except for some rough spots i can see dust bubbles but those areas feel smooth which i can live with.
