Wood Turbo Carving Disc (Curve) in 6 Teeth by KOWOOD

I had some wicked tree roots bulging up from my grass that were starting to catch the edge of my mower deck.This wheel ground them away like butter! I was very surprised how smooth and fast it went. From the look of it I was expecting a lot of vibration and bucking, but there was none of that. Just make sure to use both hands on the tool and be aware of where your body is in relation to the tool in case it does buck.This fit my Makita 9564CV 4-1/2" angle grinder with no problem. Did not need a special nut. Also fit my old POS harbor-freight grinder no problem.I used the medium setting on the Makita, about 6500rpm.

It’s great and not expensive as to some that are in the 100’s

I bought this disc primarily to plane small logs prior to milling. I also plan to try power carving. As others have noted, the recess in the disc (38 mm) is too small to fit the arbor nut on most 4 ½ inch angle grinders with a 5/8 inch spindle. I knew this in advance, so I bought an after-market nut that fits in the recess. Minus one star for non-standard dimensions. Other than this, the disc works well. I’ve used it on maple and alder. It powers through wood and bark in a predictable manner. I’ve mainly used it on clear, straight grained wood. End grain is slower but do-able. I haven’t used the disc much on knots, burl, or irregular grain.Carbide blades spinning at 10,000 RPM are no joke. Use caution and wear appropriate PPE. If you tip the grinder forward so the top edge of the disc is contacting the wood surface, the disc wants to pull from right to left. In this orientation, the disc cuts predictably when the tool is swept from left to right. It’s the same principle as using a router: The tool is easiest to control when going against the pull of the cutting edge. Even though I’m right handed, I have the side handle attached on the right side of the grinder. God forbid, if the disc ever catches violently enough to rip the grinder out of my hands, I’m hoping it will travel right to left, away from my body and away from my side-grip hand.

Please don’t try using this if you don’t have common sense it is a very aggressive wheel turning what 10-13k rpm use your PPE and be smart bought it to take some stumps down below grade so I don’t hit with the mower worked like I thought it would!

Cutting action is so-so, and the teeth wear down fast. Then the grinding tool has to be tipped up to get it to keep cutting, resulting in less tooth surface contacting the work.

The 103mm wheel fits perfectly on my Milwaukee 4.5” grinder with the original arbor nuts. No special adapter needed. Cuts through wood quite well. It’s not as hard to control as I thought based on other reviews. It’s not meant to provide a finished surface, it’s meant to hog out wood. I’m right handed but I found holding the grinder with my left hand and the handle with my right hand was a bit easier to control. All in all a good tool and well worth the price.

I hit a knot about the size of the tip of your little finger and it sounded like a gunshot. I never even found the disk. This was on top of a 2x4 and not applying any downward pressure. 3 passes and it did that. Very dangerous and I’m very fortunate not to have been hurt. Would not ever buy another one.

I received the disk the other day and used it today. I am impressed with how the disk worked on a log I have now. It cleared the bark down to the wood in seconds. I am glad I bought it. I would suggest that you check the diameter of the shaft and the disk to make sure it will fit properly.

Hubby wanted it. I ordered it. Hubby loved it
