What is the easiest way to remove paint fast?
I've heard of acetone and things but none of them seem to work.
I've also heard alcohol. Is there any really fast way to get a stubborn spot out?
I have used vinegar - works great. Just make sure you are careful as it burns! LOL! If you are using a power sprayer.if you look for "acetone", it will say acetate but if you buy a good quality, high quality product you should not have any problems. Some manufacturers call it acetone just because their product is really acetone only, they make an acetate form to go along with it. The problem is a cheap acetate will turn your polish to acetone in about 5 minutes so be careful what you purchase.
If you're using a regular drill or hand held power one that mixes the paint and air together then yes. You need a proper alcohol (ethyl or denatured) so be careful on how it gets into the eye as they can be flammable.
The easiest thing I've used for that type of paint, but still not alcohol is to take a couple drops of soap (any kind) and use a rag and scrub. Most store bought cleaners have some sort of cleanser in them. Try using the cleaner with that instead of a rag.

What is the best tool for stripping paint from wood?
I found the answer in this video -.
The most expensive part of this video is the tool he uses to cut the blades. He claims it is a "bladesaw" but it is a bandsaw.
I have used a regular circular saw for this job and it works just fine. It does not require any special skill to use, and you can use it for other things too. Just make sure you are cutting the blades on a flat surface.
The most important thing is that you are able to cut the wood at the correct angle (90 degrees to the blade) when you cut the blades out. This is difficult with the tool you described, because you need to cut down to the wood, then rotate your saw to cut the back of the blade. A bandsaw will allow you to easily cut the blade at the correct angle, and will work well with cutting the blades out of scrap wood.
You may also want to consider using a cordless drill for this, which will allow you to drill right through the wood and even drill a hole for the cord to go through.
What do professionals strip paint with?
The pros use water.
It's an old fashioned answer but it's just as good as most.
Paint stripper comes in all different types - some are water based, some are organic. They're used on metals and other surfaces, and the exact products for what you'd do vary greatly. Paint stripper might be more accurate than water, or paint thinner. They might be much cleaner, or not. I'd recommend reading up on it (you can also search for "paint stripper" and get lots of info), but I'd guess this might be something you'll want to ask someone who does this professionally.
