Hmmm, except the cheapest one I can find is like £200.
and annoyingly cant find any for rental..Though I would tend to agree with you on getting the thing that does the job best in advance of future jobs, I'm unconvinced I will strip that much paint in my lifetime...
thanks for the tip, perhaps i'll bite the bullet ;)

The absolute best way to strip paint from wood is with an infra red heat gun. Nothing else comes close.
If you want to do it another way (god knows why) use a carbide scraper blade to remove as much as possible by hand then use a chemical paint stripper (Tensid is probably my favourite). Just don't do that though, buy an infra red heat gun you will not regret it. I have stripped paint using every method known to man over 30 years and I wish I'd had one 30 years ago.
