Should work, but you may lose your window sill!

Gotta be worth £15 - at that price it's disposable.

I bought this at 30 odd pounds and it was well worth it. Grinding out back boxes for the rewire of my house **shudders**

Bought this for £20 6 weeks ago - it is brilliant and at £15 a steal thanks

I was under heavy instruction by my pal who is a spark. The grinder done the job though no bother through brick without issue and I am used to using a good quality pneumatic grinder from my time as a plater.
I had my back boxes marked out and cut deep into the marked rectangle(Use a back box as a template and determine a height and keep them all the same) .
Then some diagonal cuts on the area to removed and chiselled out the brick until I had the depth needed for the back box (Keep a back box handy and check it in the hole you've made to check depth).
The channel for the cable is just two parallel cuts and chisel out from one side.
When changing discs make sure to un plug it for maximum safety.
Some of these girls need this to remove Mac makeup

This will get the window off your window sill never mind the paint. paint stripper and a sander are your best bet or a wire brush.

you need this http://www.screwfix.com/p/harris-heavy-duty-tungsten-carbide-wood-scraper-9/45940
(it can work better than a sander or sand paper elbow grease)
plus a heat gun and scraper, (gloves incase any hot paint falls on your hands, and obviously a mask)
and a sander to touch up
It has been suggested to use a belt sander, as I have never used one, I dont know how it would compare, but guess it would create a lot of dust.
ooo and some 40grit sandpaper (which is quiet rough) and finer

If you are going to be doing loads of back boxes there is a fancy tool that you use with a good drill
