Scariest tool I've ever used.
Bri in Mtl
>Tried out the Lancelot carver disc for the 1st time today. Evil evil wickedly powerful tool.
Tried it out on a piece of hard maple scrap 1st and as soon I lowered the disc onto the wood it grabbed, ran across the surface and jammed the grinder handle into my stomach, sending me backwards. Whoa!!
Took my time after that. Reread the directions -had to modify the location of my grinder shroud a bit.
Practiced a bit more and then tackled a stool I'm making that will have a tractor like seat.
It's fast. Really fast, and one has to be real careful to not let it dig in and make gouges. I was nervous using it but gradually got more comfortable. It's NOT like using a chainsaw somehow. maybe the high RPMS, I don't know.
The dust in incredible but less than using a 24 grit sanding disc for sure.
I had the small seat very roughly contoured in maybe 30 minutes. That really fast for a first time user imo.
Anyway, it's a keeper and this is one tool I won't lend out ever. I wouldn't want to be responsible.
