[Woodcarver] chain carver

[RP]

Maura:

    I believe they are talking about one of those metal disks that has the chainsaw cutting teeth mounted to it and mounts on a small 4" hand grinder. 

    I would think a leather apron and some leather sleeves would be a good investment when using one of those. 

Keep making Chips!
Randy

I have used the grinder mounted chainsaw unit a number of times.  It removes wood very quick & efficieintly, but you have to be on your toes at all times!  It can "kickback" like a chainsaw and will do a lot of damage to body parts.  Like any tool in the shop, learn how to use it right and then use what you learned.  I have not had any damage done to me yet, but the tool has gone to places I didn't want it to. 


  Good Luck,
  Denny

                    was wondering if anyone has used one of these chain carvers that fits onto a grinder ?  I got one for Christmas and have never used one of these things.  It fits on a 4" grinder.  Any help or info is greatly appreciated..  John in Az
