I , not long ago either read an article or saw an advertisement about a
power scraper for creating the hand scraped effect on new or old flooring
Can't find any information on how to do it! I believe it was a Festool
unit/attachment that was referencing. I found a "serrated" blade for the
Planer, but don't know if that is the right unit. SIL is remodeling their
house and putting down new hand scrapped , but would like to redo some
existing flooring to match.
Any of you Festool guys familiar with this?

Thanks to you both! I had found one site with several "scrapers" , but had
not seen the site Leon referred. That shows what I was looking to find. Will
pass on to the SIL.

Yeah. I have the 850 with the three different heads/blades. You need
the correct head, not just the blade. I've never done distressed
flooring with it, but it should work great.
One thing, though - a lot of the show one of the rustic blade profiles
(think corrugated) being used for distressed flooring. I'd think that
the undulating blade would give much better results for flooring. The
wavier profiles would make the floor look too busy with too many
starts and stops.

Yes. You can get cutters for the Festool planer that will give you the
desired effect.
