King Arthur's Tools Original and Patented - MERLIN2 Coarse Red Round Tungsten Carbide Disc Rasp for Woodworking, Material Removal, Carving, Smoothing, and Finishing - 2" (50mm) Diameter - # 10009

I'm sculpting with a epoxy putty (EZKarve), and this does a good job grinding it. It's not like using a sanding disc, but removes what can later be sanded.

I wanted to replace a wheel on my Arbortech mini carver. This Works fantastic, a major upgrade for the tool.very smooth and balanced. great deal

Bought this before I knew what a bad tool the Proxxon longneck grinder was. The disk works okay, but the tool. My gosh. It is noisy, vibrates, the speed control failed after 20 minutes use (now full-on) and the controls are dangerous and can turn on or off unexpectedly costing some flesh perhaps. King Arthur offers an expensive re-work of the grinder with lavish apologies but only lukewarm reviews. Arbortech has a somewhat kludgey device with better reviews and a lower cost.

I use this cutter in a Dewalt 3/8" drill at 2500 rpm with the work (wood) clamped to the bench or delicate stuff in my lap. It cuts faster than sanding wheels and leaves a nice arc if you don't tilt it too far to the edge. It doesn't "catch" unless you are really careless and not focused. If your careless or bounce it your delicate work will be shattered. I have used it on maple so far and it works well. The teeth don't seem to clog up which amazed me to no end. Again you want to take nice shallow passes to keep from gouging the surface. This disc has a smaller hole in it (not 5/8") so you would have to have a special smaller sideways carving tool to use it ala body grinder. I like it.JJK

Excellent tool for the Arbortech Mini Grinder. I have both this Medium (yellow) and Fine (Green) Carbide Grinders. Both work well but really I could do with just one. If going with a single one just get the FINE and it will do everything you need. I have the larger 4" Holy Galahad coupled with the Lancelot (dual round chainsaw blades) do excellent job of hollowing logs into bowls. I use the small 2" tungsten tool to get a more finished contour of the bowl. Have done close to 50 big bowls with the Fine Holey Galahad Tungston tool and it is as sharp today as it was when I purchased it.

I do a lot of bowls, boxes, and art pieces. Since I started using this on my mini- grinder,I reach for this tool for many-many tasks in my shop. Easy to keep clean, and it stays sharp!Ron ToshWood Atrist

Not efficient

if you use a big milwaukee die grinder (not the little one but the monster size one) it will easily machine through the toughest of woods. Be careful. Wear proper gear.
