Hi There

about a year ago I saw something (advert or something) for a Bosch
electric paint-scraper
looked in the picture something like an angle grinder only smaller ((&
without a big circular blade !))

sort of made a mental note to investigate & buy one ...

Now I have a lot of paint scraping to do - big flat areas of wood to
clean off..
I look to try & get one and cann't find anything on t'interwebby
thing.

Any idea (a) what it might be called (b) does anyone other than Bosch
make such a thing (c) does anyone out there have any experience with
such a thing ??

Hopefully.....

Cheers

Ferm. Comes with a TC tipped scraper blade and doubles as a sander.
I've got mixed opinions of it, sometimes it really helps, often it
just isnt needed. Its useful for other jobs too, cutting lumps of
stuff off, and blunt cutting tasks etc, but it only has so much
cutting power, its not an SDS replacement.

A fantastic tool -
Ive used mine for cutting floorboards,
cutting water pipe,
carving finials,
aggresive sanding,
removing tiles..

havent tried the scraper bit yet,
but I did buy one of each tool bit.

I scraped most of the paint off old roof timbers with a small anglegrinder
and a wirebrushy disk in it.

Flapper disks also scrape off paint.

depends.

But get a bosch PMF too - theyre great!

Thanks for the replies - I'll try Lidl first on the basis that GBP
16.99 is a manageable investment...

Perhaps the Bosch PSE-180E electric scraper/carver?
www.woodworkersinstitute.com/page.asp?p=197. It's discontinued AFAICS,
having been only partially replaced by the PMF-180E.

It doesn't do sawing/sanding like the Ferm or Bosch but has vibrating
scraper and chisel blades for wood-carving, etc. It's excellent for
scraping years of lino stuck to quarry-tiled floor and makes short work
of Artex or similar finishes... Also very useful for a quick carving
job to match something there already, which the PMF can't do.
