power carving disc tool review for angle grinder

[@wbriggs111]

My chainsaw cutting wheel is in the garbage can. I don't know how it missed my hand. These are hungry maneaters! The other ones really are a great ideas and they do a nice job.

[@curbArlecchino]

I have the rotary rasp and the chainsaw disc. The rasp removes material a bit slowly but it gets the job done. I've been afraid to use the chainsaw disc and after reading all the warnings here I'm tossing it in the garbage.

[@RcWoodturning]

If you have doubts about it it's best not to use it.

[@manyfeather2knives423]

Smart move!

[@yo.mama100]

I just like to appreciate and thank you for not being a list read off by a robot and a fake video keep on keeping on brother I love it

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Thank you.

[@JustPeaceLoveAndKindness]

Thank you for demonstrating not only the tool, but safe use! People need to be SUPER aware of how dangerous free grinding with these tools can be.

[@casper1240]

Those Chainsaw type ones are lethal

[@1stinlastout165]

The last one is so dangerous considering you don't have total control over it,I lost a good friend to him using this type, the others you have better control over!

[@lifeshort]

Where did you lose him?

[@mhnoni]

@@lifeshort He means this tool killed his friend. not sure if you are a troll, but hopefully not.

[@MrThenry1988]

Good show man. Don't even buy the last one. I use grinders all the time. I weld. I get the tip of the grinder in spots sometimes with wire wheels on them where it kicks back hard. Carelessness mostly. I have Dandy scars from over the years. Lol. That last one will open you up bad if you get it in a bad spot. I have no need for that gadget. I can't toss the one I have. Lol. I figure it is only good to cut a board fastly. I show it to people that gun grinders all the time. They cringe. Lol. They know. Pass on it.

[@evanpeterson3436]

That chainsaw wheel...dangerous stuff. I have a double-layer stitches scar that stopped me from carving for a while. Lucky it didn't sever anything serious.

[@lesbaty8919]

Evan Peterson I’m amazed these are still available

[@Halloween111]

[@mliano71]

Yep! I almost lost my finger with that one, excellent tool for the job! But like other ones, very dangerous!

[@clothedwiththesun]

If they are so stable why don’t they make them in the big sizes like all other tools? It’s a goldfish with sharks teeth! Please people check this one out on KZbin where it’s getting a lot of very bad publicity.

[@manjichromagnon5480]

They aren't for carving. Only use for voting sheet

[@rickprice407]

My doctor who carves warned me off of the chainsaw wheels. Lots of kickback and stupidity injuries with these. They cut into legs and hands just like you might expect an angle grinder outfitted with a saw chain would. Much harder than a chainsaw to control in most kickback situations because of the size and lack of weight. The abrasive might give you a bad road rash if you weren't paying attention.

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Ya they can do alot of damage. You have to pay attention and be aware of what you are doing.

[@j.chriswatson6847]

@@Sidswoodworkingprojects I use these chain disks and found that doubling them up and offsetting the teeth makes them safer. With 44, instead of 22 teeth, there is always a tooth engaged in the wood and the kickback is reduced, as is the running away.

[@johnsomerset1510]

@@j.chriswatson6847 Good idea.

[@sandmandave2008]

Agree. In fact, the UK banned that tool. Stumpy Nubs showed his injury from a chainsaw carver on his KZbin channel. I won't touch one of those. Scared the beejesus out of him and he's a very experienced woodworker.

[@nate6692]

I came here looking for reports on the chain saw one, after seeing this, I just bought the planer. That looks like a lot smoother cut and Controllability than the more aggressive ones.

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Thanks. I like it much better.

[@edantonio9321]

I have the last disc , I can say it’s very useful whenever you have a carving project , the disc removes areas where you need to add a depth or a 3D effect, although as you said as you tilt the disc deeper in the wrong direction it can convert into a mess very quick and dangerous.

[@Fatbutnotflat]

worker in my shop used the chainsaw one. He's very experienced, but slight mistake with grip, the saw flew upward and went straight to his right arm and left arm, severed two finger nerves. He's recovering nicely now. But the danger of this thing should not be taken lightly.

[@chrisw5742]

So it is good for carving bodies then?? :-P

[@kacper0291]

Should use safety guard..... dumbie

[@rafon.]

@@kacper0291 so, what's a safety guard gonna do if it flies out of your hands straight in the air and then comes down straight into your arm? And learn how to spell the insult you're using, cuz misspelling makes *you* look dumb

[@uptopmikep7065]

Pretty good review, but you really should talk about your impressions regarding the safety of each type of blade, if you can speak to that aspect. I' have seen numerous videos about the chainsaw style blade. It look ridiculously dangerous.

[@srairmand]

Hey thanks for the reviews. I'm a bout to learn how to make a wavy flag. This helps me decide which to use.

[@wayward-saint]

great comparison video. Concise and I appreciate showing the shavings.

[@rongt859]

The chainsaw blade is being banned in th UK one misstake with that and your taking chunks of meat , theres a reason why a chain saw has a kick back lock , that thing is going 3 times faster and your hands are only 50 mm from the blade

[@johnharrison2466]

That would be a great boatbuilding tool for bow work especially

[@CrucesNomad1]

Holly flip flop flappin smokes everyone, love it.

[@Dailymailnewz]

This is much more better than a chain saw I would say ten times. It is good that you shared this video so people do not have to buy that dangerouse small chain saw stuff. The chain saw is good for cutting may be trees etc but some people are using it for small jobs and it is pretty dangerouse.

[@jim7120]

Pls talk about the likelyhood of kickback with each disc. The chain is a kickaholic

[@lloydbroughton4905]

Great video. Thanks for that. Now I know which to buy.

[@RichardDiSmoke]

This is exactly the information I needed man. Thank you!

[@guyh.4553]

Didn't know about some of these. The rotary planer can be chucked into a drill press and used as an actual planer

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Interesting...never thought of that.

[@commonconservative7551]

maybe it can be mounted on a radial arm saw

[@rickprice407]

Might be disappointing. An angle grinder may be a bit faster than the drill press. Plus if you just need thickness and/or flattening, a router and a sled will do a great job.

[@michaelnorris5838]

the chainsaw one kicks like a kangaroo. i see a comment saying itll take digits if your not careful, but even if you are it can do alot worse then that. randomly a tooth can and will catch a bit of tight grain or a knot or the other side will contact the work and kick violently fast and hard. depending on your position and its it can throw itself in unexpected directions, the neck, gut, hand being used other hand, arm thigh and face have all been wrecked. if you choose to use it be careful and realize that care doesnt always matter.

[@krustysurfer]

Great video thank you very much! This video helped me decide what to do on a project I'm working on

[@guloguloguy]

Thanks for this demo! However, it would really be nice to see these comparisons done using a few different species of hardwoods, (Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Ash, Mesquite, maybe even Bamboo (flooring), etc.,.... (and, perhaps some could be used to carve softer stones?...Soapstone, Marble Alabaster, sandstone, Lava rock,....?]

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

WOW. That's quite a combo.

[@mhnoni]

I bought the last one, and it looked very dangerous to me, I was afraid that those small pieces could act like a bullet one day when it flies, so I thought I should check youtube video, but based on the comment section here, looks like its worse, I'm not going to use it. Thank you guys for sharing your story.

[@moments007]

Great video, very informative. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Best wishes.

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Thank you.

[@nate6692]

So I got one disc #2. For full disclosure, this "review'" is by the seller. It works, leaves a smooth cut, and is way less aggressive than the chainsaw wheels. It can still bounce and chatter and has angles it doesn't want to cut at. I haven't used the other abrasive type wheels. For what I was using the dished cut couldve been nicd. It's a good product. I still needed some heavy use of the flap disc afterward though.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Loving these videos and learning a lot from you. I’ve had a few good bowl ideas but don’t have a lathe so this may open up that door for me. But $80 for that rotary planer wheel. That’s pretty steep

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Thanks, glad you're liking it. You can get the chainsaw wheel and the carbide grit wheel at harbor freight tools. That would be a good start.

[@countrylifetales2700]

I ordered those 2 wheels last week from Harbor Freight. Should be here Monday. I'm just getting into this myself and your videos are helpful. Thanks.

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

I'm really liking it. I'll have alot more videos.

[@davidcunningham8319]

I had the chainsaw wheel for carving a flag. It has a horrible tendency to kick back. I then got an Arbortech Turbo planer wheel. That is a game changer. Well worth the $120 I spent on it.

[@sphlouge]

Any tool worth its weight is expensive. Treated right will give you years of use. Or, buy 10 cheap ones

[@ivan7453]

Just a thought, these attachments for angle grinders spin rather swiftly. Maybe it is wise to pay a little more for a quality product which is locally made rather than a cheap and lesser quality product from China. Personally, my safety is means more to me than keeping the Chinese economy afloat.

[@mutigers88]

[@A.i.vionic]

To be fair good video for review I would say if your planning to use the chain saw disk they are very very dangerous as like a chainsaw the disc can bite and kick which doesnt sound to bad but I have seen the damage this blade can do , so honestly avoid it.

[@TONIOTO]

There are only two kinds of woodworkers, those who are going to have an accident and those who have and never will again. I'm the latter put my hand through a table saw a year ago and now I have the utmost respect for power tools. Steer clear of the chainsaw blade!

[@RealShinpin]

Friend of mine had a life changing accident with a large sander. You wouldn't think a sander is dangerous.. but it is. He was leaning into one of those really large ones, and the paper ripped and started spinning right into his stomach. Disemboweled him. Anything that spins at high rpms or pushes around significant force needs to be treated like it can kill you. I never thought a sander was a dangerous tool.. now I know better. Wish more people knew

[@millsinaz4220]

Nice review. The chainsaw blades need to be outlawed. I have seen videos in slow motion and when the teeth catch, the grinder spins around so quickly it is a blur. Fingers are gone! There is some photos that show the aftermath of a chain saw blade catch. The blade caught the clothing and crawled all the way up to the man's face. It cut his throat, through the jaw bone and into his ear. Heavy gloves are mandatory for any of these blades.

Curious how long will the blade last. The last one you used. You mentioned Harbor Freight.

[@Sidswoodworkingprojects]

Yes harbor freight has a carbide grit disc. For the price it will get you by. It doesn't remove alot of material and it leaves a rough finish. As far as how it will last depends how much you use it. I've used mine on around ten projects and it doesn't appear to have much wear yet. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.

[@graphicsdesignedforyou]

@@Sidswoodworkingprojects My intentions were to grind down a tree root low enough so it won't get in the way. I did, however, use the grinder for 2 massive cypress knees and then a little bit on the tree root. I must have worn it down because it was making burn marks. I tightened the blade so tight, I had to go to Harbor Freight to see if someone could help me loosen the blade. He suggested I use a reciprocating saw. I used that as well.
