Questions & Answers

Are you able to use this device to smooth out a new Lodge cast iron skillet?

There is no way to effectively remove iron from the water, according to me. In design, it doesn't remove much material from aluminum, even if it's very thin. It has the purpose of taking off the paint but leaving the metal intact. It is possible to successfully use a random orbit sander in the kitchen when sanding cast iron pans, but you should be careful that the sandpaper you use does not contain anything hazardous.

Are metals the only ones that can be stripped of paint or can wood also be removed with this?

The tool will gouge wood and may leave a non-metallic mark The grain contains aluminum oxide dust that is easy to clean. The paste is coarse and aggressive when it comes to cleaning metal. I don't know if it's wood or not This product is for sanding.

Is it possible to use Dremel Rotary tool with this?

Dremels will not work with this, as it is too large The drill works fine on a regular one.

The disk comes with hardware (mandrel) to attach it to my drill, but what about the mandrels?

There are some of these that come with the mandrel so you can attach them to the I'm very pleased with how these work and they make my life much easier.

Cast iron pans can be stripped easily with this product
5/5

Now that I have used this to strip cast iron pans down to bare metal, I can go back to reusing them The seasoning process. There were a couple of spots where the seasoning was flaking off in the first pan (it wasn't a big deal, but I figured it would become a problem down the road). I was able to remove both sides of a 12 inch skillet in about 25 minutes with the factory seasoning as well as anything that had accumulated over a year. Although it was not necessary to strip the sides or bottom, we thought we should do so while we were at it. Despite the fact the second pan would be an 8 inch size, there was some rust covering about 1/3 of the cooking area. As a matter of fact, the rust was less resistant to seasoning than it was to rust! Overall, it took somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes It should take between 15 and 30 minutes to remove and re-clean the pan The seasoning process. I think if the pans didn't have too much rust I could strip a few more pans with the same brush, but it may depend on how much rust is on them.

I have yet to find anything that works faster and better
5/5

Last season, I had a fender repainted. I was disappointed that the paint used split when it was applied. Rather than buy it, I decided to make it myself. Only used one of these wheels for my drill out of two that I ordered. Including the 25-year-old factory paint, they stripped off all paint down to the metal of the car. A little elbow grease was all that was It was just a matter of steering the wheel back and forth. A new base coat was primed and painted with the right color. A coat of SprayMax Clear is enough. Thanks for the great job with removing the old shot paint with the stripper wheel.

An easy way to save your back is this Without it, I wouldn't have been able to survive
5/5

I am in love with this wheel. It was 2 years ago that I was diagnosed with a severe lower back problem. In other words, I left my beloved BBQ pit outside under a tarp for two years. The pain was so severe after a few days that I couldn't sit in the same position every day. Therefore, when I decided to make a BBQ, I made it. A few weeks ago, this charming BBQ pit was completely rusted and in a very bad state. A person would have replaced the pit with a new one if they had known what I knew. I have an amazing pit that is no longer being made and has many features that you can't get with low-cost pits in stores today, such as the thick metal panels and the stainless steel The rusted paint and rust on several of my wheels was removed by those Because I have a severe back condition, I needed a wheel that would do the job with the least amount of effort. Many other wheels I purchased fell short of the performance of this 3M wheel. This wheel allowed me to complete the job, without which I would not have succeeded. Thanks to this 3M wheel, I saved my BBQ pit and did not have to throw it away. After removing the rust and paint with very little effort, my wife thought it would be impossible for me to finish it and that I would put myself at risk for spine injuries, which has happened in the past. I am amazed at the efficiency of this product. My phone rang when I started using it after testing out several other wheels first. I ordered another one from Amazon right away. This pitt is enormous with a large gas grill, indoor and outdoor gas and coal grills, as well as a A total of one and a half 3M wheels were used to complete this grill. They held up to every abuse I gave them. I abused them a little bit and they stood the test. Besides that, I also bought another one so that I will have one in my toolbox. Invest in the perfect tool and don't waste more money on other wheels like I did. My pit is in the following pictures. Hope you enjoy them. All I had to do was add the flames, and it came out perfect. Thanks to 3M, I was able to save my BBQ pit and save my pain.

This Brush Pad for Electric Drills is designed to remove paint and rust
5/5

It is extremely easy to work with an electric drill and this 3M paint and rust stripper brush pad. Surface of the metal surface is not damaged or marred during removal of material. Work in an enclosed area if you want to wear a respirator and eye protection. It tends to clean up paint and rust in small.

I am really pleased with the ease of use of this tool
5/5

It cuts through old paint and rust nicely. In order to build a kayak trailer from an old jetski trailer, this was the best purchase I could make. I was able to remove the old paint and rust on my trailer with it. I hired one of them to create my whole trailer. It is now about half the size it was when it was new after the entire trailer frame was replaced. When you use it, you do notice that it gets smaller and loses some of its mass. A tough plastic material is used in it, but it wears away over time. You will go through it pretty fast if it gets a lot of hard use. Neither a wire nor a wheel is made of metal. However, it has the advantage of being able to get into tight corners and angles that a metal or wire wheel cannot. In case this review was helpful to you, please click on the thumbs up icon.

Any cheap drill will fit this
4/5

It works great! The pros are It's - I used it to clean a neglected cast iron skillet I purchased on the internet.
- I was very happy with the results! I found it perfectly suited to my drill! I. - After use, it only shows minimal signs of The cons are I. - The courser grit was coarser than I thought, but it worked well nonetheless.

The drill works well, but if you want the job done properly, a hammer is a better tool
5/5

As a result of using this in a small hand drill, the rust on a carbon steel paella pan was removed. I nicked myself, but I got it right. Please be aware that this pad is not at all flexible so it cannot conform to whatever When I do it again, I'll probably get something I can put on a small grinder, but then again, this worked out nicely.

The exact thing I was looking for
5/5

We recently purchased a 2003 Jeep 4Runner, which had oxidized and peeling wheels. The metal was oxidized on the surface, but I needed to remove it and the existing finish before painting It would be easier to work smarter, not harder, if I did not have to sand each wheel by hand. It was just what he needed for the I have only used one of these and was able to get all 4 wheels completely down to the aluminum with just one pair A minimum of elbow grease was required to get it to work. I highly recommend it for work of this nature. Even though it only had a little left at the end of the four wheels, it still has a few more years left in it.
