I sanded and repainted my cedar clap board house last year. I used a
4.5" side angle grinder and a number of sanding discs. Getting into the
corners and such was impossible with this unit, but I was able to cover
about 95% of the surfaces with the sanding disc and strip the paint off
with it. Several gouges, but not too bad. The rest was done with a
hive tool. Do understand that you will never get all the paint off, or
out of the wood. That which is down in the cracks and crevices isn't
coming out, nor is that which is well soaked into the wood.
You sure you want to stain and expose this wood? Cedar, staining and
weathering make for an interesting combination that pretty well ensures
the colors won't look like what you expect. It pretty much limits you
to dark colors, which are hot in the summer. You're also going to get a
rather splotchy appearance owing to what paint is soaked in, and what
you cannot grind out.
