See how quickly our Wood, Decks, and Siding Tool was able to remove stains and discoloration from siding on a 115 year old home in Michigan. In one step, it gets back original wood, leaving a perfect profile ready to be re-painted.
I bought one and did roughly 15sq/ft in about an hour. the blades kept flying off and hitting me in the hand and the shroud is basically only good for deflecting the blades as they fly off at 9000RPM. I found one blade that hit the neighbors house and after losing one blade and taking two off the knuckles I decided I had had enough and returned it. The blades work great but the cheap clip in method of securing the blades is not suffice. If they ever came out with a better way to secure the blades, like say with actual bolts, this thing would be great.
I used it. It actually does strip the paint but it also destroys the wood if you are not careful. Plus you have to do the entire job again with sand paper to smooth the surface.to an acceptable finish.
Wouldn't it work to sand with large grit size, maybe also with smaller size grit later to smooth out the surface? I noticed that if the old paint is not holding very well, large grit size will remove it very quickly, will just force it to detach. If some old paint still remains after some aggressive sanding, you can just leave it, it's bonded so well to the wood, it will hold for many years, so you can paint over it. (if the colors are similar, of course)
I think I could live with trying to fix a few "circular dig ins" over the course of a day or two as opposed to living at that house every single day for two months while hand scraping. I'm sure there are some downsides to this tool but gotta weigh the pros and cons...
What Dewalt corded 4 1/2” corded grinder works best with this and does it do good with the smaller wood siding. Mine looks like the boards are smaller then on this videos.
If you mean that your siding boards are "cupped" then you'll have to nail them flat before you use that tool. if you mean that its the siding boards are made that way (rounded would be on the bottom of each board) you'll have to use another sander on that part, or scrape first then sand.
BIG TIME E.P.A. Violation LEAD DUST FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE BIG NO NO bad video for you guys to have used Historical Home + Diamabrush= Lead dust Dust ,What Lead dust
@@jessiegregorio2298 The homeowner has to practice the same. Just because he owns the house that doesn't mean that he is allowed to contaminate his neighbors and his community.
@@J90-g2m DAMN, that was good! I usually think of that whenever somebody says something like "man, that thing was huge", but I didn't think of it in this situation.
Do the blades ever need to be replaced? Also, and I don't like to talk bad about painter's, but raw wood, especially in that situation, needs a primer coat before paint. No way I'm painting that without primer.
I saw replacement blades somewhere online, but the price was higher than the price for a new Diamabrush. I guess that might make sense if blades need to be replaced one or two at a time.
I'd use an oscillating multitool with sanding adapter (triangle shape), maybe even the scraping blade if paint in corner is stubborn. For extreme case, use the metal cutting blade in parallel to the wood, to cut off the paint or wood. The metal blade has smaller teeth, so you still have good control.
I am looking at a Harbor Freight angle grinder 4.3 amp. Will this work okay with the Diamabrush? I am also considering the Dealt 11 amp. I only plan to use this on a large deck to remove paint and will only use it for occassional small jobs. Your thoughts?
There is never a surface of wood that doesn't have at least some to a lot of nails or screw heads that are above the top surface. That means, this tool will not last long before it hits one. And then what happens? This add never addresses this issue. Wonder why?
I’ve been using this on my house and haven’t Run into that issue although obviously I checked to make sure anything like nails or screws or other type of debris weren’t already sticking out before I started that’s common sense
@@audioapegaming3334 Yes. Anyone that thinks they are going to use this better check for nails and or screws above the wood. If that is done, I bet this works great. I've "tried" to scrape paint off old houses before and when a house gets too old, with countless number of paint jobs, this has to be a better answer, other than residing.
@@audioapegaming3334 Finally someone who preps and makes sure the surface is ready before sanding! Everyone else acts like it should just already be done.
That old paint has "Lead". Did you scraped and sand according to the EPA Guidelines? If you did not you might be in trouble for violating EPA Guideline for lead paint removal and contaminating your workers and the ground. Do you have all the recorded documentation required by EPA in the process of removing the lead paint? Are you CERTIFIED by the EPA TO PERFORM THAT TYPE OF WORK?
Lead is the best thing about it! I like grinding some of the chips up and giving them to my neighbor for garden fertilizer. I tell her it is "natural". I've been told the chips are good for soaking in the neighborhood kids Kool-aid for extra flavor.
Would be nice if they added the audio..this method is super extremely loud..and it’s so aggressive that it could ruin your siding..practice on junk wood..do not practice on your home..lol..
So many things with this video. What's up with the commentators hair. Get a comb. The painters sweatshirt. Yikes. And what's wrong with power washing the paint chips of first.
YES WORKS BUTT KEEP IN MIND THIS NOT ONLY TAKE PAINT OFF IT ALSO TAKE A LAYER OF WOOD OF DOING THEY 3 TO 4 TIMES AROUND YOU A NEED NEW WOOD AFTER SO MANY TIME BUTT YOU WILLL NOT BE ALIVE THAT LONG LOL
