I was just wondering if anyone has ever used this tool. The demo videos make it seem very easy to strip a car of unwanted old paint.

I wonder if it works well for undercoating.

We have one at the shop. It works pretty well but tools always look better in the manufacturers videos.

I was looking at the sct but decided against it because the drums were so damn expensive. Ended up getting a Porter Cable restorer instead. It's pretty much the same thing, only it's half the price and the black stripping drums are $20 instead of $60. I stripped 3/4 of a car last year using drills, angle grinders, air grinders, and every type of attachment imaginable and the quick test I did with the restorer took paint off better than anything I've ever used before. Not saying it's a miracle cure, it still takes time, but I was impressed with how quick it tore through paint and a layer of bondo down to bare metal.

Wurth DBS 3600, a bit pricey.
Many different brushes.  Other vendors have the same unit priced less. Dent-Fix Mike |

Thanks for all the input.
The Porter seems like a more affordable option. Eastwood says you can do a small car like the 914 with 2 black drums. I was expecting more like 10+ drums. Does 2 or 3 sound reasonable? |

I think that would depend on how much paint has been put on the car.

I used the Eastwood pneumatic Rotary Removal tool last Friday to do this. I would highly recommend it if you have a compressor to run it off of (7CFM [100L/min]
It was great for getting through all of that seam sealer. Attached thumbnail(s)

Dynabrade - DynaZip
Less than the Worth, more than the Eastwood, Eastwood did not have theirs out when I purchased this unit.  Use it all the time, cleans up welds if your using flux-core, which I only do on large thick metals. Strips seams sealer like, it is not even there, only tool I have found that does that. It will just cut into it, and start flinging little bits of it, until you are down to clean metal and have a huge pile of that seam sealer on the floor. Undercoating, not an issue Proper tool for the job, I need to start a business just to cover my tool costs, as a hobby this is way to expensive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
