Im retired now. I was in maintenance for 45 years. I was a supervisor for 20 years. I don't know what this guy is getting paid but he's worth double! He knows how to use his equipment and he has the experience. He has his knee pads on and his mask and obviously has no back problems. He moves extremely fast and does quality work! I've watched a hundred Diamabrush vids and this one is better than any of them. I just bought the same DE Walt angle grinder and the 4 1/2 " Diambrush. I have my 1000 sq ft pool deck I have to strip 2 coats of paint off of this summer. Im 73 and every time I think about whimpering Im going to watch this vid! HaHaHa!
If you want to save your back and knees you can rent a 16 inch diamabrush disc and standup push rotary sander. It will take less time and your body will thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. Nobody I worked with saw the potential so I went on my own . Means a lot and now I have a thriving business even in these hard economic times. Learn a trade and work hard the rewards will be there when you are creating memories with your family
I found this brush at Lowe’s for $49.99. Used it on cedar posts, hit a nail and broke one of the tabs off. Unable to use and returned it for another one. Package says it’s good for 1000 sq feet. This thing blows massive amounts of dust...wear eye, ear, face, breathing protecting!
Wonderful job, this is the best video on Diamabrush usage in youtube, Do you do this on a very hot day or a completely dried no moisture on the deck ? not sure what's wrong in my case I am trying but, I am not getting the same results my brush seems to stop working in 2-3 second on the floor and is giving me hard time. Need to wait for a complete summer to try it on a dried wood? There is a very little moisture due to rain 2-3 days back, It is eating the wood as well a little. Dust coming out is not like sawdust in your case it is giving me chips of paint. I appreciate some tips on this.
It was a 20 x 8 I'd say and it came out beautifully. The customer had lived there 15 years and had no idea she had an oak porch. Only issue under handrails and the scrapes it left behind but if you have a sander you can clean them up nicely. Other then that the head is still good had very little wear
What type of dimabrush are you using? Only thing i am finding is concrete removal attachments. Looking to redo deck has restore 10x on it of course chipped away, so looking for most efficient method to redo it. This looks like best method to remove old paint, but what if we're just adding a new type of paint like berh deckover. Any opinions welcomed but really wanna know name of attachment piece your using thanks
Rosie Meixner , I found the Dimabrush attachment at my local Lowe's store in the paint and stain section for about $50. I think HD also sells it online. www.lowes.com/pd/Diamabrush-1-Piece-Diamond-Grit-4-1-2-in-Grinding-Wheel/1000377591
Less expensive from Home Depot. Get 2 if your doing over 800 or 1000 sq ft. Grab an 11 amp grinder. I think this guy is using a 13 amp. 7 amp or less will quickly overheat the grinder. Recommend the shroud and a shop vac...cuts the fine big time.
I'm taking paint off deck rails. I found a 4 1/2 " paint and rust remover disc for an angle grinder works just as good, but you'll go through several discs, they don't last as long.
This ain’t nothing but work. I have a 50X12 deck, and I’ve just started. Really hard on the lower back. It’s the only thing that works on this stuff. It doesn’t tear up the wood nearly as much as i feared. Just gonna do a few hours a day.
This year I may be investing in a media blaster though to make everything easier on everyone involved but that's around. 30k so a 45$ blade and some back ache doesn't seem so bad for a one time job
Just wet tf out of the deck with citristrip and cover wjth plastic for about 2 hours make sure it stays wetunder the plastic and then spray off residue with powerwasher at a low setting.noneed for all that arm leg arm leg back work.
Hi. At this video and many others , different people produce the same smooth results. What is your opinion after your experience? In Finland we use a lot of wood and this tool looks perfect for this job. Cheers from Helsinki.
@@robertmalgieri3526 my problem was we used the deckover on everything,, we didn't know any better 10 years ago.. stripping the floor was tedious work but doable. I opted to replace some of the wood railings instead of attempting to strip them. Ultimately we painted it with a solid color and it came out great. A transparent stain would not have worked

Some people like to make love to their decks and take their time. This man comes in like a jackhammer and gets the job done. I likes it.
He's probably mad as hell he put that ugly blue down thinking it was gonna look good 🤣
Best investment ive made, stripped off the rustoleum restore we put on our deck, about 1k sq ft took me 3 hrs
Thanks for your review
THat's why I'm here. Same problem with the Rustoleum Restore.
What grit sandpaper is that i need somthing that will take off the left over paint
Bought it to do my deck, this thing is a beast!

Looks easy on a newer deck! Still works on a 20 ur old deck but old wood is more fragile and that wheel could damage old fragile wood but def works!!

How many decks with this attachment work on before you replace and get another one? You sure made stripping that deck look easy.
Bud Hines it depends on the grit and if you hit nails or not. They can last 300-500 sq ft.
That tool works slicker than snot!
This is exactly what I need. Do you apply any pressure or are you just guiding it? Also how long did it take to do your deck?
Wow the job came out great!
How much elbow grease did you have to give it?
Honestly not to much does do a number on your lower back though
I have a short, three-legged camp chair. That seems to help
Thanks for this post.
I have 2k sf to do this Friday. Good thing I have a hungry 18 year old.
How long did it take?
Which blade you’re using?. I want to strip paint from my cabinets. Seems like this is good idea.
This tool is mostly for rough surface such decks wood siding , i wouldnt use it on fine finish
Would this work on fences? I just bought a house with a painted fence - that needs work
I would not recommend ona a fence it's very aggressive
How big was the deck that you did this on? And did the diamabrush work right until you finished? Thanks.

Only issue under handrails and the scrapes it left behind but if you have a sander you can clean them up nicely. Other then that the head is still good had very little wear
Do you think this would work for deckover paint to remove?
Monika Yes... This was designed to remove thick coatings like Restore 10x.

what number of sandpaper happens to you afterwards.Thank you.
Just wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing...
Did it leave swirl marks?
What grit did u use
How was the dust? They do make a attachment...looks like hardley any dust
Yes they make a dust shroud that hooks up to whatever extractor you want to use
Is the diamabrush able do get off the coating between the boards?
No
What kind of Grinding wheel did you use ?
It’s diamabrush. U can get it on amazon
Less expensive from Home Depot. Get 2 if your doing over 800 or 1000 sq ft. Grab an 11 amp grinder. I think this guy is using a 13 amp. 7 amp or less will quickly overheat the grinder. Recommend the shroud and a shop vac...cuts the fine big time.
Spent a day power washing, 2 days sanding, started stripping because nothing was working. Wish I would have seen this video first! Great job!
Would your recommend using this to take the paint off of a house?
I'm taking paint off deck rails. I found a 4 1/2 " paint and rust remover disc for an angle grinder works just as good, but you'll go through several discs, they don't last as long.
Yeeeaaaahhh!
This ain’t nothing but work. I have a 50X12 deck, and I’ve just started. Really hard on the lower back. It’s the only thing that works on this stuff. It doesn’t tear up the wood nearly as much as i feared. Just gonna do a few hours a day.
Stick with it I'd recommend renting a square buff sander afterwards starting from 36-120

how long would it take to grind paint with this tool on a 10x10 ' deck and how many amps in this tool make etc.. thks!
An hour, this things awesome, make sure your nails are set
@@cliffsonly5751 I have the DeWalt 3amp and Im ready to take it back for this one
are you a lefty?
is this the 4.5 inch tool?
Bud Hines it only comes in a 4.5” for decks
Damn.... And I just spent all day with a behr chemical stripper and didn't even make half the progress he just made😭
Glad I had goggles using that behr stripper because got a little got on legs and seems permanent marks
Whole latta shaken going on
What is the name of this tool? Please, tell me, Please...
It's an angle grinder they're about $75 great investment.
what number of sandpaper do you put after
60- 80-100-120 If want smooth if not super picky 60-80 should be good
this not paint removal this is wood layer removal butt if it work have fun lol
Looks great but I sure hope that wasn't lead paint powder that you blew off that porch!
You must where gloves and ear defenders because that is very noisy and very loud
mesothelioma...
Looks like a 7" grinder. Is it?
What kind of stone or grit on that ?
It only comes in a 4.5” but you can put it on any size grinder you want. 50 grit is standard but other grits are available.
Jesus..I have 500 square foot deck that has 3 layers of years of paint. I'm screwed
G.U.M I’m screwed too..
Just wet tf out of the deck with citristrip and cover wjth plastic for about 2 hours make sure it stays wetunder the plastic and then spray off residue with powerwasher at a low setting.noneed for all that arm leg arm leg back work.
- Haha... I have a 800 sq ft deck.... misery loves company......
How many hours to complete entire area?

Easy job wasn’t it!
I’m in the process of stripping my deck over paint with the diamabrush and it sure didn’t go that smooth. boards are definitely not the best though
Hi. At this video and many others , different people produce the same smooth results. What is your opinion after your experience?

James I'm about to strip about 1500sqft of deckover. How did your job go? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

@@ArellanoJames Hi James, did you able to strip the deck over paint with this tool? as I'm in the same boat.
@@salmans5677 yes. It took two bits for the floor and we opted to replace some banister instead of stripping because it was just too much.
☹boo
Omg what in ass holl
