As far as Paint stripping is concerned ...
Mark Charlton put me onto a GREAT, GERMAN tool.
It is called MBX. It is available from the US as well.

What I particularly like about the tool is it does not "grind away" or heat the metal when removing the paint - Although it still generaltes paint dust. (but even for the dust they have a dust attachmetn). Have a look at the videos !!
One of my best tools.
