Wood Turbo Disc

Good variety of blades and fits well on my grinder

I used it on roots worked well!

Ok, I ordered this set as I'm taking dried tree limbs and shaping/cutting them into perches for our chicken coupe remodel. I'm not kidding when I say for the first time in a LONG time, chucking these blades onto my angle grinder actually made me nervous. I do tons of metal fabrication but a disc nick to the finger here and there, ehh it hurts, you bleed, electrical tape and move on. With these suckers, shoot, your fingers or knuckles would be just a memory. They do a wicked fast job on wood. The three tooth cut off blade is really fast cutting and you can shape with it. Then I stepped up to the angled Cheese grader looking brass wheel and it is amazing at taking off bark on tree limb sized stuff. I haven't played with the blue De-Barking or aggro-tooth file brass wheel yet but will give them a try, at least the tooth file one. The cheese grader is so fast and effective, I'm not sure when I would to use the de-barking wheel. Seriously, when using these, be so cautious- light pressure and firm grip. Wear safety goggles.2 things of note- First, the package came with English and German translation all over it, but a sticker "Made in China". A little disappointing for sure. Second, below the item when shopping on the product page, Amazon typically has recommended purchases or products to compliment what you are shopping for. Why in heavens name are they not recommending chain-mail metal gloves????? seems a no brainer-

I have 20 hardwood ash trees I’m stripping bark off of and sanding smooth to use as poles for a pole barn. I bought this 4-pack figuring it was inexpensive enough that if they didn’t work then it wouldn’t be a big loss. I used three of these on my DeWalt Angle Grinder (it uses 4.5 inch discs) and they worked very well. The blue disc stripped the bark off a 20 foot ash tree in 30 minutes. The only issue is for the blue disc you have to flip over the flange nut when you put the blue disc on. It’ll tighten down and work just fine. For the other three discs that come in this pack, the flange nut will go on over the disc normally and you can tighten down like normal. The blue disc is shaped in a way where the flange nut won’t fit on normally. Just flip over the flange nut and tighten down. That blue disc eats through ash tree bark quickly. The finer toothed gold disc will smooth out the log nicely. Glad I bought this. And the discs don’t wear down quickly. They’re solid metal.

I'd bought these to work on inside curves of oak and hickory bread bowls. I do most of the outside shaping with a Stihl arborist's saw but a chainsaw is a blunt instrument for shaping the inside of a bowl. Before I got these I used the saw and chisels primarily to remove enough wood to get to the point where I could use an angle grinder. These will do the job with a lot of caution.These are aggressive discs and would appear to eliminate the need for sawing and chiseling the inside wood. Downside is lack of control. The blue one will consistently kick, the three bladed one tends to gouge and shred the wood and the gold one with curved slots kicks occasionally. The fourth is more aggressive than a Kutzall coarse disc but is tamer than the other three in terms of tendency to go flying off and gouging.There is a safety issue. I'd initially wanted to run the two 4 inch x 5/8 center discs using my pneumatic grinder, but it lacks a guard so we'll just forget that. I don't think they'd do as much damage to the body as a jet engine or a boat propeller but they have potential to remove fingers and even hands. With one of my electric angle grinders I have no temptation whatsoever to try running these without the side handle. And I don't wear loose clothing using them.After a couple of hours of work swapping them back and forth doing bread bowl hollowing I notice that the blade with the spiral slots is already showing wear. So I doubt they'll last as long as hoped.

Got these a coupple months back and in that time I have put them through the ringer. Restoring old barn hardwood, skinning and carving fresh oak & pine whole trees and there still carving. I strayed to a coupple cheaper brands as some of the spikes had wore down. One of them being Jazeztool and I got maybe 10 days out of 3 separate spike grinders, now they just burn the wood. The pomsare also was quick and helpful when I couldn't get the blue one to fit by sending a flange that worked. Also I would not recommend useing the blue one on a battery powerd grinder as it pretty dangerous but when attached to a plug in one its little less catch, chunk, and jerky. Still little sketchy even plugged in. But solid product and good customer support.

These are great woodworking tools that have been holding up well through repeated use. The shaping characteristics of each disc really expands my woodworking capabilities for tackling new projects. I’ve mainly been using them on softwoods such as cedar and pine and they cut aggressively and with ease, I haven’t tried them on many hardwoods so I really can’t attest to the longevity there but I imagine they would work well for awhile. I use a 4 1/2” makita angle grinder and my only gripe would be that I needed to grind down the locking ring so it would fit snugly into a couple of the discs, it was difficult to find a set on amazon that wouldn’t need this modification. Overall I am totally satisfied with this purchase

These are LITTLE. I haven’t really got to use these to the extent that I’d like in order to leave a good review, but for what little I have used them they’re doing an okay job. I wouldn’t use these for any big projects but for little things they’ll do the job
