## Abstract

Apparatuses, systems and methods strip and/or finish wood surfaces. Specifically, the present invention relates to using systems and methods utilizing rotary apparatuses having metal embedded or bonded industrial diamonds to cut, grind, and polish wood surfaces.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for finishing a wood surface comprising:
a concrete grinding apparatus comprising at least one grinding head comprising a rigid material and an abrasive material disposed within and on the surface of the rigid material; and
a wood surface having a material disposed thereon, wherein the concrete grinding
apparatus is utilized to remove the material disposed on the wood surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein the wood surface comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a paint, a stain, a varnish, a wax, and combinations of the same.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2 wherein the rigid material is metal and the abrasive material is made from industrial diamonds.

### Claim 4

A method of using an apparatus for stripping a wood comprising the steps of:
providing a concrete grinding apparatus comprising at least one grinding head comprising a rigid material and an abrasive material disposed within and on the surface of the rigid material;
providing a wood surface comprising a material thereon to be removed;
moving the grinding head in relation to the wood surface on the wood surface; and
stripping the material from the wood surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4 further wherein the wood surface comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a paint, a stain, a varnish, a wax, and combinations of the same.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4 wherein the rigid material is metal and the abrasive material is made from industrial diamonds.
