A few posts back I showcased our favorite new tool--the Metabo Paint Shaver. This photo is a close-up of the window trim, in all of it's glory with about 6 coats of chunky lead paint. Yum Yum, Tasty.The photo below is about 30 minutes later. We were able to take the trim around 5 windows down to bare wood, like it was brand new in about an hour. It's literally like 80 years of coats of paint just evaporate.
The greatest thing about this tool is it is designed to remove lead paint. All of the discharge goes through a spout in the handle that is configured to take a shop vac hose. We still wear a respirator and goggles, but for this type of work, you can't get a better solution.
