Can I use a normal sander to remove some paint from my outdoor cement porch floor?

A belt sander works pretty well with coarse or emery paperCan I use a normal sander to remove some paint from my outdoor cement porch floor?
You can try, but I don't think it will work very well. Might as well try a power washer on it, but since concrete is porous, it will probably only remove some/most of the paint. The only other way is to use a bushing hammer on it to break off the top layer of concrete.Can I use a normal sander to remove some paint from my outdoor cement porch floor?
Cathy, heres what i would do:


1. sand


2. paint remover


3. paint scraper, I have a jewel in paint scrapers


4. torch


5. chipper





One of these methods will surely work.
