Scevoli Painting.com: Stripping Paint with the Paint Shaver

Here's a clip of me using the Paint Shaver to strip cedar boards. All nails had to be set into the wood before stripping. A palm sander is used to smooth the raised grain. A blow-torch and hand tools are used to clean up the corners and hard to reach spots.

Good observation, but this is not lead-based paint. It was also filmed long before the law was in effect.  I'll be posting footage of us using paint-shavers & HEPA vacs and plenty of ground cover as we stripped a 250 yr. old house, all according to the EPA guidelines of course.

Thats hilarious! No, get your own..haha. Its actually me, but I definitely look like a Mexican.

Is that 6 Amp or 8 Amp?

[gscevoli]

6 amp

How is the dust containment using the vac? I don't see too much dust but why are you wearing a respirator? Sounds just like my electric planer. Looks like it did a great job. Any vibration?

[gscevoli]

Dust containment is great. You have to keep an eye on where the blade meets surface to keep it steady. small amount of particles and dust make the respirator necessary...ear-plugs too. Vibration gets to you by the end of the day, a bit more than a palm-sander.

If You had set the depth a little clockwise, You would have only one cutting pass.

I Work with this machine 4 times faster than what i see on this video and strip a house a house the size of that one within 3 working days alone.

[brokenarrow2222]

@glenspainting123 stfu homo . what do do you want everything.

[glenspainting123]

Anything is possible with good staff and equipment. Why the palm sanders? too slow? get something decent with a bit power.orbital sanders 400watt maybe..then using the "square sanders' (palm sanders) for the feathering out the finer detail?
