Just use a scuff pad (Scotchbrite - Red or Grey) between coats. Sanding tends to cause the dust to stick in the grain of open pore woods like Oak. It's usually better to do a coat a month for 6 months or so rather than a coat a day marathon. It gives the finish more time to gas off and harden. Otherwise you're re-dissolving the previous coat with each subsequent.
Way back in the day when finish was French Polish (Shellac) the housekeepers would have a kit along with their cleaning supplies and would refresh tabletops regularly where rings from glasses, etc would "appear".
