A customer turned me onto this machine and lent me his to try out... They are about 160.00 and take a lot of different pads and sanding drums... What a cool tool!
Found out about those a year ago, on one of the YT boating channels, for removing bottom paint, then a little bit later, Twin Sticks YT channel he used one for stripping paint off His Kenworth, Smoky and the Bandit, tribute truck.
Primer does very little for corrosion protection because it is porous it’s what allows paint to grab onto it well. It’s the paint that seals the moisture out not the primer.
In case you’re not aware of it, though I think you likely are, they have a number of different wheels for different materials and different surfaces you’re trying to remove, or sand. They have a steel wire wheel, or drum is what I think they call these things, that’s for aggressive removal of rust and scale.
Ok I missed you while being tortured in a place for would care till near deaths door u with infection dehydration lack of food. Then sent to hospital to be tortured more. it made my gall bladder to cause pain unbearable. Yupp I missed you .But home now playing catch up on my favorite CZcams channels ..YUPP I SURE MISSED YOU AND DON TOO. THE SIDEKICK MAKES THE CHANNEL.
They make a mounted shank disc that's for stripping paint and rust and I call them my magic discs. You chuck it up in a drill and go. 3M 9099DCNA Large Area Paint and Rust Stripper Can get in them corners with it and stuff.
@@10swatkins they last OK to me. It's marketed as rust and paint stripper discs. It's carbide fiber. It comes in all kinds of different discs. Go on Google and put in rust and paint stripper disc and then hit the shopping tab. You'll see lots of the stuff. Now what's good and what isn't I can't say because I haven't tried all of it. I've just used the discs with a shank in a drill.
One of the things I liked about it was the ability to somewhat conform to the shape of the metal.. It was not perfect but it did a better job on the flat spots of the 4x4 than my belt sanders did.. That's one of the reasons I went to flap disks... When they make the 4x4 the flat of the sides always "concave" from the forming process.
I have several different types of flap wheels but they are all a little faster on getting off the mill scale, some much better and some just ok.. The problem is the great ones are expensive. The other problem is they all may be faster , till they wear down. Then you have to change them and that starts adding up... This machines wheel lasted 200 time longer than a flap wheel would have...
What brand was it... I have about 7 4.5" running around here, several different brands, not really expensive but not cheap... They all have a good kick
Do not know why you do not like powder coating. Worked at JP/NASA for 37 years. Built a lot of ground support equipment out of steel or aluminum that we powder coated.. Items spent a lot of time in Florida outside or in no temperature controlled buildings. Items did not rust or corrode.
Lets see.. That post that I had grey was powder coated... The distributor has 1500 of them that the coating failed and was all rusted underneath, never been out in the weather.... Looked great on the outside until it started falling off.... I had a trailer, looked great for two years then the paint started coming off in sheets... ONLY way to fix it was to remove all the powder coating , kill the rust and repaint it... Really fun job on 24 foot long dump trailer... Including the bottom... Do you want me to mention the loader on the front of my tractor? Same damn thing. starting to come off in sheets.... If it was just paint I could easily fix it..... Powder coating hides the problem and you can't tell until it starts to happen...

Thanks for demonstrating another interesting tool. Although it works pretty good I suspect you’d do as well or better with an orbital sander. Just pop on a fresh 60 or 80 grit disc and you’re good to go again.
@@10swatkins look for polycarbide abrasive wheels. It looks like the same stuff that drum is made out of. They make it with shanks and to fit on angle grinders too. It is pretty good for rust and paint removal.
@@10swatkinsI’m very impressed after reading more about these amazing abrasive tools with many types of drums. Sounds like they’re very aggressive and will get in places that orbital sanders won’t. If I had a lot of rusty stuff I’d definitely try one.
Looks like it works pretty darn good. I wish I had something like that when I had a job to strip and paint a balcony railing a few years back. No doubt it would be fast on round tube. Too bad they don't make it so the wheel spins in the opposite direction so it doesn't throw all the dust towards you.
I think it would be worse with it going the other way, I kept it low and the wind helped.... I tried wearing a dust mask but it was so hot and the mask drenched with sweat and stopped up... Wind and holding my breath helped ....
13:59 Are you sure you didn't do a quick stint in the coal mine during that cut? That shirt looks completely destroyed - that's why I wear old ratty shirts to work on messy jobs! Don't really care what I look like, I'm not destroying good clothes!
Steve, I got that same buffer from HF. There is quite a variety of heads for those things on Amazon. You had the paint stripping head I do believe, so far my favorite is a flap wheel type with Zirconium abrasive, it really peels the rust and scale off. The only thing I don't like about it, is it's the single nastiest tool I own, it makes a mess.
I saw the HF version of that tool first - I was wondering who made the original that they were copying, because I didn't see any of the major tool brands have one of those in their lineup. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they're both made in the same factory, by TTI
@@10swatkins I typed out a reply and it disappeared, but they last a couple hours , the trick is to use light pressure and let the tool do the work. I had bought some a couple years ago off Amazon. The Zirconium ones were $25ish back then, but all I see now are Aluminum oxide. Hilti makes some Zircon ones, but they are $80 most places, kinda pricey, but still cheaper than a sandblast rig.
@@gorak9000 They have been around for years, Hilti, Metabo and Unitec all made them and probably a few others before China got into the game. They used to be in the $600-1,000 range . It wouldn't surprise me if they all came from the same factory. My HF one is nearly identical to the one Steve is using. The Chinese do copy each other though and the cheaper off-color plastic ones I don't think are in the same league as the HF/Eastwood models.

@@10swatkins Steve, I have over 900 channels, I subscribe to.🤦♂😎
I have the Harbor Freight version. It’s on sale today for $89. Might just be for their inside club members.
Olá amigo Steve,acompanhando seus trabalhos,bastante interessante esta máquina de remover ferugem!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!

Yep, just these suckers have not even been outside :(

With the hurricane coming in. Do you have a pallet bandind set up to bind some strapping over roof ends and around buildings.
Not really, it would take a lot of stuff to secure the 40 x 60 shop and the house is about 35 by 80....

I’d been wanting the Metabo version of that for years, but couldn’t justify the cost. I’ve been pretty happy with the Harbor Freight version.

How long does it last? I have different flap disks but if you are doing a lot it gets expensive...

Don’t breathe that dust in Steve
I know.... I was holding my breath most of the time and it did not seem like it was getting anywhere near.. But it does....
Hi from Nacogdoches!! I feel your pain on rust removal.
Hello there!
How does it compare to a flap disk on your grinder
I have several different types of flap wheels but they are all a little faster on getting off the mill scale, some much better and some just ok.. The problem is the great ones are expensive. The other problem is they all may be faster , till they wear down. Then you have to change them and that starts adding up... This machines wheel lasted 200 time longer than a flap wheel would have...
STEAV I JUST BOUGHT A NEW ANGLE GRINDER AND THATS THE SAME . AS THAT SLOW START UP
What brand was it... I have about 7 4.5" running around here, several different brands, not really expensive but not cheap... They all have a good kick

Powder coating is pretty much the best of the best - you'd be insane to grind it off and put some lesser coating on it instead...

I suspect it’s one of those things where close attention to detail and thorough preparation is 98 percent of the job.
Thanks for demonstrating another interesting tool. Although it works pretty good I suspect you’d do as well or better with an orbital sander. Just pop on a fresh 60 or 80 grit disc and you’re good to go again.
Maybe... The head on this thing when through all that with almost no wear, I was really impressed with how little it wore...

I wonder if you could hook up a vacuum cleaner hose to suck up the dust? Probably would be too bulky and awkward to use.
@@ellieprice363 Yeah, probably. I guess your best friend outside would be a nice stiff breeze.
I think it would be worse with it going the other way, I kept it low and the wind helped.... I tried wearing a dust mask but it was so hot and the mask drenched with sweat and stopped up... Wind and holding my breath helped ....
It was :)
I don't think it would be bad at all... Only problem I can see with that is the bag would probably clog up pretty fast...
