Carving & shaping made easy No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

You don’t have to be an expert carver to justify buying this tool (thats what you tell the ladies anyway, or the hubby if you are a lady Jock). it fits on an ordinary 4” (100mm) grinder).

It has three circular tungsten cutters which can be rotated when the lose the sharp edge.

A see through plastic (or perspex) shield makes it a much safer tool.

If you want to do some very quick shaping or carving this is the tool. I have not used it a lot but was impressed with the amount of control and cutting speed of this little sucker.
I don’t know if it is available in the US or elsewhere but here is the Aussie link.

I have been wanting one of those for a while now. It’s a great shaping tool.

I bought this a few months back at Lee Valley. Great tool! I use it to make spoons and bowls. VERY fast.

Thanks Grumpy for the review. Now I have got to add another tool to my ever growing list. Maybe I will win the lottery.

I’ve owned one for about 5 years, it’s called the Lancelot and it can hog a lot of wood in a short amount of time. I’ve used it for making chair seats, hollowing out bowls, debarking sculptures, and making sculptures. It will go through anything, its like a miniture chiainsaw, and can be resharpened like one. Great buy. I think I got mine at
at HF, or Woodcraft. mike
