[QUOTE="stinkynathan, post: 93475, member: 1266"] I have a Makita that my dad bought about 15 years ago that has been absolutely abused and still runs like a top. When I stripped paint I used both styles of brushes. You'll find they both have their uses in certain places. The nice thing about some wheel brushes is that they can be reversible. As you strip paint, the bristles will bend away from the direction of rotation and strip less paint. I found that by flipping the wheel over every few minutes I could strip paint MUCH faster than just keep it on the same way. A few people warned me that using a wheel or cup brush on a grinder would eat right through the aluminum, but I found it to be perfect. Stripped the paint and scuffed for the new stuff all in one swoop. :D [/QUOTE]
