This only mentions "exterior" Can it be used with this pad to strip stairs, bannister trim? 3M-Scotch-Brite-Contour-Surface-9413NA

The other comments are spot-on. Will not get into tight area, rough finish, lots of dust. But it will strip these. I used it on 30 year old southern pine boards to remove finish then used a finishing sander. For bannister refinish, it might be easier to remove, strip, and reinstall.

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!

Definitely not for fine trim sanding-will not reach into small areas and you do not have great control. It also makes a great deal of dust. Best use is for relatively accessible, flat areas. You would want to watch out for grooving caused by holding the sander at too much of an angle or in one place for too long or using too much pressure.

it rips old flaking paint apart but it misses about a 1/2 inch in the corners. big surfaces works great blends well, as for fine work i would try something else.

Yes, it can be used indoors or outdoors. The circular pad is very course and abrasive to the point it will remove wood if a lot of pressure is used so you would need only the lightest pressure. They caution against using other sanding pads that may fit on the sander, so it is possible to use lighter grade pads. It is not designed to do corners or curved surfaces. I have stripped paint/varnish from more than 1,000 sq. ft. of deck and I am totally satisfied with the Paint Stripper.

It will make lot of dust, but yes it can be used inside as well as outside.if the coatings are thick, you'ld be better off using a chemical stripper or aggressive sandpaper.

Short Answer: Yes! Caveat is dust generated and potential for gouging substrate wood as mentioned in previous posts. If you are familiar with handling the device, it might be worth a try, if dust can be controlled (especially if lead based paint is involved). But be prepared for sanding and/or use of other stripping methods.

There are so many other better methods to prep your staircase that the PaintEater would be like trying to thread a needle with a sledge hammer. 3M's "Safest Stripper" works really well, and would spare your trim. The PaintEater on the other hand, would probably devour it. I've used it as a light-duty grinder to prepare a roof deck, so even with a gentle touch, you could end up doing a world of damage. You'd also have quite a cleanup. I lay plastic sheeting down outside, and STILL end up with a mess. Short answer? Don't risk it.

Hi, I found the disk on this device to be unforgiving. If you practice on a test piece of wood first, you will see how quickly it takes down the finish and the wood. This should indicate how you should proceed. I used it on exterior shingles and it can really gouge the wood if you're not careful.

If you're grinding through thick paint, it will take a long time and a lot of wheels. Also, it makes a mess of dust and chips. If it's old paint, I'd be concerned about contaminating the building with lead. Finally, the wheel is not highly flexible. It won't reach into corners or the bottom of ornate millwork details.

Should work just fine, but Joe has a point about 'softness' of the pad. Even if it's not exactly what you're looking for, it's good to have a more varied type of pad in case you have some light contour sanding. It should also work just fine for regular 'flat' sanding. Might be a tad less aggressive.

This is an exterior product, but is only designed for sealing the ends of fresh cut logs and boards to prevent checking and splitting as they dry. You will be very disappointed in using this as a deck sealer, for it dries to form a wax on the surface, and foot traffic will wear it off quite easily.

I used it with the 4" wet/dry diamond polishing pad 10 piece set which has a 5/8 inch screw on base and Velcro pads. It did a nice job polishing the granite cuts I did. Not sure what pad came with the unit.

It should work if the 3inch pad attachment can be screwed into the polisher.

I have very successfully used this Makita backing pad with a number of 7 inch polishing pads I obtained via the internet from from Regent Stone Products. The pads are quite inexpensive and include Hogs Hair, Steel Wool, and varying consistencies of Nylon. I used them for cleaning and polishing a marble shower and marble bathroom floor. I Also used to clean and polish about 600 square feet of limestone flooring and do this about every two years. They work well with the Makita polisher.

I don't know. I only used it on outdoor furniture pads. But it caused discoloration, so I would be very careful in using it.

Yes- if you go to the Schlage website, it has it listed with an keypad for exterior use: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/BE365CAMFFF-F10ACCFFF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:product/levers/keypad

It would not work without cutting a section out of the weather strip. I used on exterior diir and has to cut about a 1 1/2" section out of the weather strip to get it to work. Other than that it works great. Old house and the bottom of the door always had movement and now it is secure.

I did not need to strip my floors as they were new installs. However, I think it would probably be a good idea to do so IF you have already put other finish applications on them. This finish is high gloss & very durable. IF I were going to stip, I would use a steam cleaner on them rather than a "stripper" product so as to not leave any other product residues on the floors. I absolutely love this product. I applied it several months ago now, & still doesn't need to be re-applied.

As I understand it the mat does not work on metal can't see why not tho. Certainly very effective deterant the neighbour scar hates it!

This can only be used on an angle grinder, I have not seen a version of this in a flat pad for a random orbit sander.

This works great on stairs. Disconnect the extension and use the brush attachment.

No, you can use it outside or inside, if you have hardwood or other non carpet.

You can. Cut to bend around the nosing of the stairs. However, you would have to install a metal (alum.) corner bead over the carpet at the nosing to protect it. The carpet itself is a good commercial quality with a rubber backing. Good luck!

Why not go to the web site. My gate does not use those pads so ther than the companies web site I would not have a clue.
