I have both the Australian Arbortech systems and the Lancelot Chain style wheels. They both work well, but it's been my experiance that for material removal the Lancelot is better. I have yet to attach duel wheels on the grinder but once on, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Here is a good place to get such both brands of these contraptions.

Arbortech has a system for a small wheel grinder attachment as well, which is sweet for details that either of the larger wheels can't do. (The small discs are @ the size of a fiftycent piece)They are difficult to sharpen.

With either tool you won't belive the amount of wood you will be capable of removing. Be very carefull, wear gloves as the debris flying can cut you up. Don't have a few beers and test it out...they are unforgiving when fumbled. Consider a mask as often wood has bacteria that can be dangerious to breath. Your nose and ears will be filled with wood, but you won't care because it's so friggin fun.

As you will be working outside,if you wear a shade-hat while working...don't wear one with drawsting leashes that might get caught and teather the spinning blades to your chin and neck.

keep an eye on the switch of your grinder. One of mine allows the wood chips to catch in it, and keep it from being turned off.

Anyway...your going to love these things. Post when you get to try them.

Have fun!
