Will this sander remove baseboard paint (several layers)?

It's really a finishing sander. To remove several layers of paint I would use a chemical stripper first and then sand well before repainting.

Yes, it will, but the Velcro pad that holds the sand paper wears out quickly.

It seems fairly powerful I think it would do the job. Its good for detail work.

I believe it would. If you have experience with sanding start out with 80 grit sand paper and go easy. If you are not use 120 grit. If there is something you are trying to save something underneath the paint lawyers take it easy. If it is just wood underneath go for it. I have had no problems with mine.

Light duty sanding - it has worked for an hour plus or minus. I must say, that I have sent it back once and soon the second time for a faulty off/on speed change switch. I feel it was not properly engineered to handle the dust (wood) that is incurred using the tool.

Sorry, I can only guess that a step down transformer rated for the amperage output of the sander would work.

I know from personal experience that it will remove multiple coats of old paint. I haven't tried it on poly over stain, but I can't see why it wouldn't be equally effective. Presumably, softwoods with a deep penetrating stain might be more problematic.

I thought I just answered this question. This would be the way to go about your sanding job. Good luck...

Yes. However, the difference between the Wagner and a floor sander is not to be compared - if its bigger than a small area. For the effort and time, I'd rent a floor-sander and use the Wagner in the edges (edge sander) and enter the corners. You'll still need a profile sander for the corners for a good match to the rest of the newly sanded floor. Overall, I used the Wagner PaintEater on the my home's outside walls and found it easy to handle and light weight.

Maybe. It would depend on what you are sanding. If you are trying to sand concrete it's only sandpaper for paint,wood or drywall. If you are sanding paint off of concrete it might work but it will not work on concrete itself.

Yes. It will remove anything thats on metal. Even works on powder coats and bedliner. Probably also works on undercoats.

I love this little machine, but maybe not the best choice for what it sounds like you are trying to do. As others have said, it would be real easy to over sand and ruin the profile of moldings. To remove paint from molding, I would probably use a heat gun and detail scraper. I think that will give you better ability to remove paint without damaging the profile. Additionally, if the paint is thick, the small sandpaper pads this uses will load up quickly and you will go through a lot of them.

What I used was steps one and two - Without the sandpaper. The way I used the remover it should not have come in contact with the paint , so in a sense yes. It removed scratches in the clear coat nicely. Follow the manufactures recommendations and go slow. There are good instructional videos too. Good luck.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Strippers are for the surface and it can remove several layers but not for embedded in the grain. For that the only solution is sanding, and if is not too deep.

yes, this sander is good for any project, just select the proper coarseness paper like a 60 and set it to removal mode, then keep it moving because it is very effective.

Definitly not .It will damage the sander and void the warrenty. Best answer is to shop vac seperatly as you go or when you get so far sanding vacume up dust.

It sounds plausible, but I've never had to try it myself. I have recently been restoring and adding to my house - crown moulding/baseboards - that sort of thing. I also refinish furniture. I love this sander for the detail work, corners, etc. I use it on almost everything I do. Good luck with your project.

You would be better off using a drip-less paint remover and then sanding after the paint has been removed. You would use a lot of disks as the paint has a tendency to clog them.

You can use the sander in any direction. Others have suggested an orbital sander, but if you're looking to get your work done quickly, this will certainly do a quicker and more powerful job.

I used this sander to refinish furniture, and I've been very pleased with it. I would think it would take mold off of molding. I am not sure about sanding a wall directly...?
