It can be used for many things I guess Lew, removing paint, rust, anything where there is a surface you don't want I guess.

Not sure what the cost is for a home unit.

Petty sure Mimi will balk at some of the pricing I just saw- pretty close to what I originally paid for our house!

looks like the least expensive is in the 9000 dollar range, still out of reach for home shops. I can see the great benefit if you do refinishing for a living though. Seems like a huge time saver. Specially for detailed surfaces, but for now I think most of us will stick with EZ Stripper and steel wool

Yes, I've seen these but not sure how they work.  And I'd not want to work on something with lead-based paint in it.

I"ve a associate of sorts who has one of these, he does restoration of just about anything you are willing to pay for, he has some older carousel horses hes doing now, has a great exhaust system he can xport to a job ect, but his shop has a nice set up, hes kinda picky about who he allows in his shop, but have found his achilles point, hehe, single malt, an occassional drop off of the magic elixir and hes putty so to speak, 

amazing tech for sure, i'm struggling with the new google phone, since mine decided to fall out of my truck and get run over, ugh, i hate buying phones

Didn't know about lasers for finish removal  but I can tell you they work great, 'er good, well they work for removing bladder stones. Access point and exhaust port ain't much fun though. VOE

Gotta laugh about it John. Now it ain't funny at the time, but looking at the bigger picture, gotta find some humor in the ordeal to keep from going totally insane.
