IT WORKS! Thank you for this information

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.

You didn't show the big part of the job.Flat surface is always the easiest part, What did you use for the bottom edge and corners?

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)

This works great but be careful with nails as they can cause the blades to fly off

How did you do the bottom side of the boards?

What machine was used with the diamond brush ?

Diama try it!

What are the recommended tools for diamabrush? Does it work with any orbit sander?

Do you have a link on where I can buy one

it doesnt do the bottom edge of the weather boards

What machine is used for that diamond brush and that vacuum hose system ?

Real easy to did a hole in the siding if you are not carefull!

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
