I have already sanded about 600 sq/ft of white oak flooring that now feels very smooth. I applied a Minmax water based clear protective satin finish on a small area, with a roll. Maybe it's because it hadn't completely dried out yet but I felt that the surface was not smooth at all when I touched it. I would therefore have 3 questions:
- What can I do to make the finish feel smooth?
- Applying the finish with a brush on such a large area is not an option. What is the best type of roll that I can use?
- What mechanical means can I use over a large area to make sure it's evenly and finely sanded prior to applying the second coat?

As implied by @keshlam in his comment, you should do some reading about finishing wood floors with waterborne finishes.
You should visit a good paint shop near you, much advice can be had. Often these shops rent the equipment needed as well.
