I am looking a sanding down someone's poor stucco repair job and starting over. Would you recommend this on stucco?

It would really depend on how rough the surface of the stucco is. If there are really high rough edges you might end up getting the wheel stuck and the grinder could easily rip out of your hands or cause some pretty serious injury if it gets away from you. But it all depends on your skill level and what your work surface looks like.

It worked fine for grinding down concrete so you shouldn't have any issues grinding stucco. Dust is an issue so use a mask or a fine spray of water to keep the dust down.

I have never worked with stucco but these grinding discs really do a number on cement so I wouldn't think that stucco would be much of a challenge. You definately want to wear a good dust mask.

Yes, stucco is relatively soft, so it will grind off pretty easily. Grinding wheel will last a very long time on such materials. Seemed to last forever for me on concrete. Yes, definitely wear a mask.

I would not use this for sanding floors, you need to rent an orbital floor sander.

I haven't tried it on stucco so I don't know. It claims to work on concrete, etc. If you have green algea it should be easier to clean than the black stains. I was able to remove these stains on wood clapboards with a 50-50 bleach water mix, but you'll need to scrub...

I have used it for wall sanding (after application of primer using DTS 400 sander) and it worked OK. Don't know how it will work with sanding large areas of unprimed joint compound which creates large amounts of rock dust. Great piece of equipment. Perhaps bigger is better with sanding large amounts of joint compound. I would contact festool to ask about your specific application.

This sander did well on my walls to lighten a heavy texture and keep most of the dust to a minimum. A lot of the heavier porous sand paper was needed. If you are wanting to remove all of the texture that will be a fairly labor intensive job depending on the amount of wall space. Feel free to ask more if needed. Also, ear plugs are needed. Good luck, RJM.

I have used it for sanding and for grout removal. It is an excellent tool for both of those uses. It is not a rotary tool though, it uses a reciprocating motion. If you are trying to make long cuts in concrete a right angle grinder with a diamond cutter would probably be a better choice.

I would say yes but I'd use a masonry grinder. This is used for smoothing surfaces.

If you can stabilize it, then yes. If that's all you're using it for, though, I'd go with something stronger. This is a great tool, but it's really for getting into nooks and crannies more than heavy-duty flat-sanding.

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

I did and it worked ok for small jobs. I did sift and dry the sand in an oven before using.

I would think so. I'm not an expert. The Stuff is white. It is a very fine grit like a sandpaper paste. You will have to use elbow grease for sure. I had to rub quite a bit. Have not gone back to do it again. But it seems to work.

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.

Not an expert. Did use on my sheetrock with great results. I choose this one because of the great reviews. Good luck on your project.

probably not this is more of a polisher than a sander I have done many floors and I usualy get the rental belt sander and orbital sander for the sanding and leveling then you will need an edge sander to get up to the trim wear a mask and I reccomend a tyvec suit, it gets rough with old finish

When sandin work it is very nice. You don't get all the dust back in your face and your work ends up super smooth. Just be careful to put it back in forward before you turn again (wasn't used to it yet, ruined a piece and boogered up my knife). Bottom line is it worth the extra money? That's up to you. You can easily turn pieces over but if its in your budget its very convenient.

As long as you have a solid substructure ie header,block wall etc you would be fine...predrill the stucco

I have not personally tried any of the bits from this set on stucco. The best bit to use on stucco (my opinion) would be any carbide tipped masonry bit. These are "stone carbide" so they should work and the tips should hold up.
