Okay, I just had to take a liberty & post Cheekytiki's "Arbortech" pics from Mr. Dales recent post. This "Chainsaw" grinder disk intigues the hell out of me. It's a little scary, but I think I must own one soon. How many fingers do you really need to carve anyway?....

Aaron this is an Arbortech woodcarver and fits on any small angle grinder. Unlike the chain versions it removes wood very quickly by chipping away rather than cutting.


Mr Dale what chainsaw do you use? I have a homelite with a 14" blade but I find it very heavy. I tried out a top handled Stihl with a 9" blade and its fantastic, you can use it one handed, its sooo light. Problem is they're around £500 new and rare as hens teeth on ebay and get snapped up!

Aaron, as you can see the "Arbortech is just a chainsaw type attachment you can put on a grinder instead of a disk. It has the same teeth as a chainsaw and sharpens the same way and removes wood the same way. I have used them and they are great for removing wood plus you can use the grinder as a normal grinder too..
