Could you use this on wood to sand an exposed thin paint edge?

It is probably the equivalent of 1000 grit. It might smooth paint but much finer than grits used on wood.

It would probably be tough to get into the corners and whatnot, and the disk is also pretty rough, so you'll definitely need to sand quite a bit afterwards. That being said, it really didn't tear up the wood on my house when I used it. I was taking paint off cedar, which is quite soft. Hope that helps!

You'd have to sand it first, as there is a slick finish to it. I think it would be too much trouble.

I think this is better suited to sanding corners and areas that are difficult or inaccessible with other power tools. It moves rapidly and may damage veneers.

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

Yes. That is the 1st thing I did. Used it without having to remove object, thus didn't have to find a way to secure it to sand off approx 1/8". Just remember to take your time & not to try to sand too much too fast. Juri

No, I would not! It works perfectly on smooth, unfinished furniture - even unpainted but I would not recommend it for reclaimed would and certainly not crevices or chips in the wood. I have no idea what to use except for a good power sander and work down from several grades of sandpaper until it is more manageable.

Absolutely, but keep in mind it is varnished and would probably have to sand the area you would be working on and then re-varnished.

yes, as a matter of fact i just tried that few mins ago. It is also sandable, not so much paintable since it doesny absord paint like wood does.

I have only used it for painting prep purposes, drywall and a wooden desk. I'm not sure about wet sanding, I'm sorry :(

If the wood is not smooth or if it has any peeling or splinters it would be best to sand it down to where it was smooth. Otherwise the new stuff would just peel, too.

The sander will not sand off the paint, it will probably peal and gummy up the pad. If it is a small area you can skim coat the wall to make them smooth or you can retexture over the walls and repaint.

Yes it can, but be careful though. Depending on how the paint is applied on the material you're using, it can damage the tip.

Painting should not be a problem. A light sanding and you should be good to go!

Both questions can be answered with a yes. To use it while sanding wood, you will have to rig up some kind of attachment to the sander.

It would do the job, but you'd go through a ton of sandpaper as it would probably gum up easily. I'd sand blast the paint instead, if you can get the equipment.

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.
