I'm trying to figure out a good way to strip the inside of my front door (a friend's dog scratched it up and some of the scratches are deep enough to need planing). Its oak and has 25 year old polyurethane (or something similar) on it. It's a nice door and I've already stripped the outside and been oiling it for the past 10 years or so. I also need to do the frame and side panels. To add to this, eventually I also want to refinish all of the interior doors as well and they're all 6 panel oak doors as well.
So, I need to find a reasonably quick way to strip wood doors down to the wood. For the rails, stiles and center of the panels I was wondering about something like a Festool Rotex 150. I don't know much about it but it has to be faster than a regular random orbital sander and hopefully less destructive than a belt sander. That leaves the outer edges of the panels (all flat but narrow and at an angle) and the trim that covers up the edge of the panels. This is where a 5 axis cnc router might be really cool but am wondering if using the chemical stripper on those parts would work. I haven't used chemical strippers before so I don't know how difficult they are to work with.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
