Can this be used to remove several layers of old paint from a door? Also layers of stain and poly? Is there a link for blade replacement? Thank you!

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend doing so. Get the paint & stain off another way. Blade replacement for the planner can be found on Amazon's website.

Yes it can, there is a link for replacement blades on amazon. When you select the product scroll down. It's there as part of a bundle

Sandblasting a door would probably be the best way to remove old paint, it will get it down to the grain rather quickly and you won't disfigure the frame. If you sand blast it, you will think it's never been painted before. You can get a blast tank at Harbor Freight on sale for under a hundred dollars. You will need a good compressor, at least a 60 gallon. I would recommend getting a Two Stage compressor like an Ingersoll Rand as they will last a long time and have plenty of power for all types of air tool applications. They are pricey, about $1000. Or just pay someone else to sand blast the door for you, probably $80. If the door is off the hinges this will scrape it down, but anything 3D will be problematic. If you hit a nail or a screw in the door it will chip the blade and leave a high trail where the chip is. The only other way to do something like this would be to get a wire brush for a drill or angle grinder. A Cubic Zirconium Flop Disc isn't too bad either, they are about $13, they would shred any paint off but they are going to leave spirals in the wood. I've seen guys use a Heat Gun and a Scraper to heat the paint and just scrape it off too. Good Luck with your project.

I wouldn't recommend using your planer for paint removal. Better to use paint stripper and some scotch brite pads. If you enter "DeWalt replacement planer blades" into the search box on Amazon's site you'll find what you're looking for.

this planer could be used to help remove paint but that would be vary hard on the blades. The better guidance might be sanding or a stripper material to remove as much paint as possible then use the planer (or sander with fine grain paper) to smooth the surface for refinishing. Good luck

I own/use the paintshaver pro and the metabo. I preferred the metabo and my crew of workers used to argue who got to use it. The paintshaver pro is aggressive and will gouge the woodwork. The metabo on any setting never gouged. They strip equally fast, the metabo area needs less prep before paint in my experience. I suggest buying an extra set of blades for either one. Hitting hidden nails dulls them and I've learned the hard way and had to order them and wait for delivery. If I wouldve known i would have bought 2 metabos instead of one paintshaver pro. Oh and also the vaccume you hook it up to makes a big difference also. Hope this review helps your anticipation I own/use the paintshaver pro and the metabo.

I think you would need to ask to buy it by the barrel! We stripped both sides of a standard door and used over a gallon. There were many layers of paint, but you also have to put it on thickly for it to work properly. I would contact the manufacturer for suggestions on stripping a boat.

I am assuming, as a pro finisher, Osmo will work with certain stains and dyes, but I would definitely remove old finish such as wax. You want the oil soaking into the wood.

I don't think it would be economical to replace the blade as the squeegie is cheaper or as cheap as new blades. and no I don't think it can be replaced anyway. Unless you clean windows more than once every 2 months (how many people do that? lol) it's worth its cost.

I used this to remove the old paint to reprint my wheels and it worked very well. Spray on, leave on for a few minuites and spray off with hose. Repeat steps and use a steel wire brush for tougher jobs.

Absolutely you can remove paint from wood floors. The tool will remove paint from anything that is flat. I have only used the tool on old, flaky paint, but it could be used on regular paint although that would probably take a lot longer. Be sure to get several discs because they wear out pretty quickly when you go down to bare wood.

Not sure. I believe Polident for Partials is much, much better. Cleans like new but not sure about old, hard stains.

It works great removing paint. It peels the paint. Very Strong. Try something else, if is not paint what you are trying to remove...maybe a degreaser...

It is an exact replacement of the original handle. If you can paint the other handles then this one should be no problem. I am not a painter but it is a plastic handle and it is a glossy surface so i dont know of any complications it may cause in painting, but my previous statement is accurate.

Sure it will work for that. Obviously, if you have some heavy staining then you may need some type of cleaner to help lift the stain but this will add a lot of agitation power that you just couldn't get by hand. It's only issue would be it doesn't get into tight corners.

Bill, Guess the question is do you own this tool. If not, I would look at a cheap, but great, metal cutting tool from HF. Plenty of inexpensive metal cutting blades. If you have or need this particular tool and cannot find the blade, call RotoZip customer service. They are nice people. Personally as expressed in my other review, of all the tools I own, this is the most worthless. Fixed depth, vacuum worthless, difficult to guide freehand. Good Luck

It is stain"less" steel, sooo there may be something out there some where that will make it oxidize or stain the blade. As with most tools, clean it properly when needed, and it should last you a long time.

I wouldn't advise that. This is meant to remove ground-in paint, it would probably take other coatings off.

I have not used the paint shaver pro however I am very pleased with this unit. I stripped clapboards on my house quickly. It is messy. Paint chips fly everywhere. Use safety glasses and a ball cap if you don't want to be picking paint chips out of your hair for the next three days! Practice first on a scrap piece. There is a certain technique to get used to.

This product is excellent for removing dried grout. I would suspect the it would also remove epoxy paint unless it is very old.

Yes you can, we used a utility knife. I noticed dragontear said it was a waste of money, but if you make usre area to be done is completey clear of dust/dirt and is dry before you apply and after its applied we used a small wooden roller we had for for projects to make sure all possible air pockects were gone. We are really happy with the results and how it's holding up. Good Luck
