Hey folks. I need the proper name for a tool i saw.
Arfcom is all seeing, all knowing (and loaded with shitposters), so i figure someone might know of a thing i saw on the BoobTube. This woodworker was carving log furnature using a normal 4" angle grinder. You know, those electric grinders normally used for grinding metal. The thing looked 187% dangerous, but he was hogging out some wood with it, so i really want one. If nothing else but to make chips fly like he was.  Anyone know what that type of wood hogger blade is called? I know the local big box outfits do not have them. Thanks. |

Probably a shaping disc. They are somewhere between cutoff wheels and concrete grinding discs. A variation on that is called a carving disc. The guy at the fair who does (mostly) chainsaw carving uses those to clean up.
There are also ball gouges, but they are actually pretty safe and require arbor attachments. |

You might be thinking of this thing called the Lancelot. I've never used one, but they sure as hell look scary enough to want to try.

I have one of these, made by Kutzall. Coarse grit
Used it to remove wood for a bench seat (tractor style) made of dry cherry. So not something i wouldve wanted to do with just a gutter adze and a scorp (bent drawknife) It works good for taking wood off quickly and not causing tearout, BUT it will not give you a smooth finish at all. You will need to follow up with lots of sanding - although I used couple hand tools specific to hand making chair seats to get a nice smooth surface https://www.rockler.com/kutzall-4-1-2-shaping-disc?country=US&sid=V91041&promo=shopping&tid=pla&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=  There are some others but one I think there was a notice to stop use. I think it uses carbide or tool steel cutters brazed into the disc - arbortech Another with chain saw teeth, and that one always looked pretty sketchy And another I used and is very nice and very expensive and hard to find by a company from france called Auriou. It has hand cut teeth like a bastard file. |

The wood flying off the posts he was chamfering looked more like shavings than sawdust. Looks less agressive/dangerous than the chain tooth thing. Thanks. |

That thing could remove some wood in a hurry. We can see who's actually used some of these tools and who is just throwing stuff out there in this thread The LanceLot chainsaw disc is pretty aggressive. Use a grinder with a paddle switch, not a thumb button that locks on. I've used one, still have all my fingers. You can feel the grain and the direction its cutting. Position your body properly, pay attention, and you can shape some wood. Wear PPE, kevlar chaps, etc. I make sure there are no distractions around and I've got one of those JawHorse vise stands and lock the material in that. The design is two clamping washers that hold the chain in place. Supposed to act like a slip clutch if the cutter binds up. The "rasp" or "burr" discs work well too. But they tear the wood fibers out and leave a rougher finish than the Lancelot disc does. |

They even had the Chainsaw of Death kind, but i wussied out and went with the one with the six carbide blades. It was actually $3 cheaper than the one listed the Amazon link above. Got it home and mounted it on my Dewalt grinder. Viced up a chunk of scrap 2x4. The thing is badass. Exactly what i needed. It even threw shavings out like i saw in the video. I rounded off the edge of that board in like 10 seconds. I even gouged it into the board rather aggressively after to test kickback. None. It just whittled out a groove. I can see it will not be something to get complacent with. It could still mess you up without a firm grip with both hands. @ScottsGT The one i picked up at HF looks just like that one you linked. Different brand name, but i can tell no difference. The thing is awesome.  Attached File |

Used a 6 inch cut off wheel to cut some 3/4 plywood at work last week. Have been known in the past to take 14" chop saw blades intended for metal that get worn down to 8 inches or so and put those in the angle grinders. Not extremely accurate and the kerf is wider than a normal cut off wheel but when you need to cut something without flipping it or getting to the back side they come in handy.
That chain disc doesn't seem fun |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does anyone still manufacture bow saws like that? Hell no! Too many people injured themselves with them. I have one on a Homelite Super XL Automatic from 1975 that I use occasionally. I don't think they are that dangerous if used properly and for what they were intended for but that is a pretty small window. If you take it out of that window then the danger factor goes up rapidly. |

I use the carving/Lancelot chainsaw blade on my grinder to grind down small stumps around my patio. Not sure what folks freak out is about, just position yourself properly and be careful. It removes a great amount of wood quickly and safely. Have used them with both my corded and cordless angle grinder.

I thought Poulan did. You really don't see them except is shops that cater to the actual logging crowd. Stihl and Husqvarna probably still have some as options. My dad had one as payment for a loan to some guy. Once you got the hang of it, you could de-limb like a mofo with that thing. I never thought it was worth it as a general saw for anything bigger than 8-10 in diameter though. Never liked it for felling the tree, worked great on clean up and trimming the tops down to the trunk for sizing. It's easy to 'hang' if you don't know what you are doing. Ask me how I know.

Ok, this thread cost me money. I’ve been fighting pine tree roots that come to the surface and get too tall for my mower. Figured it was time to really go all out on these things.
Milwaukee M18 grinder for $80 and the blade I mentioned that OP bought at Harbor Freight. Got Damn! That SOB takes down a tree root to nothing in seconds flat! I figured a $100 investment in tools is cheaper than fucking up a $6500 ZTR. |
