I've been looking forward to this, great video! Fun fact - the chainsaw disk was actually originally designed by Arbortech, but they replaced it with their Industrial Wood Carver and retired the chainsaw disk because of how dangerous it was. Also, the Turbo Plane doesn't cut on the edge because it was designed to be used for template work like when scooping out chair seats so that you can ride the edge of it along a reference surface without cutting it. (I promise Arbortech didn't pay me to say any of this haha)

@@ToolMetrix I bought my first Arbortech chainsaw blade (not like the Lancelot but a single formed blade with chainsaw like edge) in 1988. I wore it out from much use. It is the one used in their logo. I replaced it with the Industrial Wood Carver and it is less grabby and safer but very good at roughing out. The Lancelot is notorious for removing woodworkers fingers, it should be banned. I use the Arbortech planer also and it's the safest and easiest to use.

Great video. When in my early 20’s l had a talented friend who was sculpting with an arbortech with a pretty radical blade who lost a thumb and two fingers while angle-grinding. As l comment further below, it’s incredibly important not to work past a certain point of tiredness. Whether it’s driving, carving, mountain bike riding, you’re going to start making potentially disastrous mistakes. Leather apron’s a great idea - l was once hit in the chest with about a third of a cutting disk and l was lucky that it bounced off a rib (bruised and bleeding etc.). I would have been fine had l been wearing a leather apron.

I put a ton of hours into these power carving attachments and I always wear essentially armor... welding apron, heavy duty arm and hand protection, double eye pro and ear pro. At some point I get too tired and things get sloppy and that helps protect me. The biggest deal once you have your PPE on is understanding how the grinder moves and which side it binds on. Super important to constantly think about not catching your leading edge (if you're moving left to right WATCH OUT FOR THE RIGHT EDGE) which will make it jump EVERY TIME.
Very informative. Thank you.

Hi James, I should have done some testing on end grain specifically. That said, knots are end grain. I’m confident that the rasp style discs such as kutzall would do well with end grain. I don’t know about the others.
IUse the Graff strictly for cross cuts while making bowls. I make cross-hatch cuts then use my gouge and mallet to remove the chunks of wood. Similar to making multiple cuts with a saw and then knocking them out with a hammer. Other than that straight-cut, I found it to be too grabby for any other type of cut. I have the chainsaw-type disk but never used it. Something said "DANGER" when I was about to use it and put it aside. Then I saw Stumpy Numb's video on how his hand got chewed up by one of those disks and I threw it into the pile for the scrap yard!

Thanks for the video. I’ve used an equivalent of the graff for years, making a lot of sculpture from small hardwood works to 3 metre high pieces. I’ve never had an issue with the Graff. To me, the key thing is to work while alert, to take breaks and never to continue working when tiredness really begins to kick in. That’s when mistakes happen - just like chainsawing - and I’ve done a heap of that. I do wear gloves, to protect hands from wood chips, though l avoid them with circular saws etc. as they can really drag your hand/arm in, and wear eye protection and ear protection. I highly recommend using good ear protection so that the atmosphere is calmer and more focussed. Incidentally, the worse damage that l’ve done to myself was with a standard curved chisel / gouge, but then again, l WAS rocking out to Nirvana, so lesson learned there ;)

Great video thanks. Can I ask about the bore size. All of the blades I see online have a 16mm bore hole and say this is standard... but all of the angle grinders come with 22.2mm blades. Will the 16mm blade fit the angle grinders or do i need a special adapter?

Hi Gary, thanks for the feedback. My grinder has an adapter that allows it to use 16 or 22mm blades. Some of the tools in this video have 22mm and some are 16mm, and they all worked on my angle grinder without having to buy anything else. All links are in the description, so if you buy the stuff that I've listed out, you can have the confidence that it will all work together.
Thanks for the video, Paul. I have a few Kutzall and Saburrtooth type of discs and they work well for me. I've wanted a Turbo Plane for some time mostly because it produces more chips than dust, but haven't been able to justify the cost. Maybe someday. I was really glad to see how these two styles compared to each other. Now it's that much harder to justify "upgrading" to a Turbo Plane. Thank You!

Hi Charlie, thanks for watching. I definitely have the sense that the Turbo Plane has some neat advantages, and a more comprehensive test plan would have showcased it better. I'm just not a "power user" of these tools, so my angle on this project was more how to choose a first carving disc I guess. Sometime I'd like to see how you are using these things; maybe I should be incorporating them into my projects more. Also, you are welcome to borrow the Turbo Plane sometime if you want to try it out on a project and see if it might be worth adding one.

The repeated surgeries and the 9 inch dipped scar across my leg, where there used to be a muscle, says the chainsaw attachment deserves a 1 on safety, not a 3. Safety guard, handle, nothing slowed it down once it bit into the wood. I still feel lucky that it was my leg. There is no controlling that attachment once it bites wrong and it's not a clean cut like most wheels. It chews it's way through you. Highly recommend avoiding.

Yeah good point, it’s the perfect tool for “grabby people” 🤣. There are a lot of pros who use them but it’s a scary learning curve. It’s kids like doing a backflip. If you don’t know what you’re doing it’s dangerous. If you go through a very methodical onboarding process it’s still riskier than walking but it’s less risky than a total novice trying one after a few beers.

Hi there, of all the power carving discs that I’ve used, kutzall is the most user friendly especially for new users. It doesn’t require much strength to use. To be safest you could start with a fine grit disc that will be less aggressive and easiest to handle. The first thing I ever did with an angle grinder was to power carve. I started with a Lancelot. I wish that I had started with a kutzall.

I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read kzread.infoUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.

Good video, thank you. I'm a much tougher evaluator than you -- I will only buy the TurboPlane and the Kutzall because of quality, performance, safety, and fit to the grinder. I would like to see the cheapos disappear from the marketplace because of marginal everything. I can't stand these knockoff, cheaply produced junk tools. I agree that the chain cutter should be used with extreme caution and can probably be largely replaced with the TurboPlane. End of rant.

Ha! Everyone keeps saying that. I don't hear it, but there must be something to it because I seem to get that once a month or so.
Potential customers should consider how desperately they want to make chips in that manner. Merely because a tool is sold doesn't make them a wise choice, especially for a mere hobby and one where (many) other stock removal options exist.

Thank you for your comment
Most of these tools are very to extremely dangerous and you Not be promoting them. They should be BANNED because you can easily be severely injured or killed using them...

Many power tools are dangerous. Table saws and miter saws are among the top injury causing tools, yet many woodworkers still use them without incident every day. Choose your tools according to your risk tolerance and use good safety practices.

All of these tools require very careful use and are dangerous. But the Lancelot should be banned because when it grabs the wood you will lose the hold on the tool. So consider at some stage you will get a grab and you will have a hands free angle grinder beside you with a chainsaw blade doing its thing, ....do you feel lucky, well do you.
