Those chainsaw disks can take a lot of wood off fast. It can take softer flesh off even faster. I like mine also. Be very very careful if you buy one of these, this is not a tool for people unfamiliar with power tools.

Attention Foredom users.
I had an issue where the set screw that holds the flex shaft to the motor shaft came out. The loose set screw itself ground off part of the powdered metal attachment feature on the shaft as it spun around inside the protective plastic housing. It is located inside the light grey plastic sheath that screws on the motor housing (left hand thread) that the flex shaft slides into. There are two set screws on the motor end of the shaft. The one I am talking about is not the visible one. Make sure the set screw is tight. Fortunately I was able to put it back together. Unfortunately, I now have a bunch of metal shavings inside the shaft tube that I can't get out so eventually I am going to have a premature failure.
