Abstract: A tool for the removal of paint and putty includes a semi-circular assembly housing including a semi-circular rigid collar. The tool also includes a disk-like abrading assembly rotatably and co-axially mounted within the semi-circular collar of the housing, the assembly including rigidly disposed abrading elements projecting both axially and radially, the assembly defining a plane of rotation. The tool further includes a motor for high speed rotation of the assembly, the motor located externally of the housing. The tool also includes bearings for establishing a fixed axial cutting depth relative to a primary work surface positioned thereagainst, in which the bearings function as a buffer between the abrading assembly and the work surface to thereby improve control and mobility of the assembly relative to the primary work surface. A platform is disposed between the assembly housing and the motor, in which the platform is preferably co-planer with the plane of rotation of the abrading assembly.
