Help finding 4" kutzall carbide carving donut

Hi Ryan,
Dura Grit and Kutzall both make what you want. Look at Lee Valley under power carving, I didn’t look at the prices, but that’s where I got my Kutzall. You can also type in Dura Grit or Kutzall in the E-Bay search bar and see all kinds of offers. The one I bought is very agressive, great tool. If you have a 4” angle grinder the obvious choice would be a 4” tool. My 4” does a good job, but there is still sanding work to be done when you get the basic shape you want.

Hi Ryan—I got mine and Highland Woodworking and it’s a wonderful tool, high quality, and because the teeth are conical and vertical it’s fairly easy to control. $55 to $60 plus shpng. I’m not much help in the bargain search.

I also bought two of the short fellas (2 different grits) with a 1/4 shaft to put in my air die grinder and those were really helpful in the shaping of the arm to leg and leg to rocker joints where the doughnut just wouldn’t work.

I’ll look into both suggestions. Thanks guys! Lee-good tip on the smaller shapers, I didn’t think about that (and haven’t even read that far to know what I’m up against). Which one did you find most useful?

I’m about to order, but I have another question. I’m about 90% confident my angle grinder is a 4 1/2”, but it seems as though most of these donut conical-burr wheels are 4”. I can get the 4.5”, but it’s an extra $10. Is there a downside to running a smaller/larger disc? I’m leaning towards the smaller one to save a few bucks, but I don’t mind spending $10 as long as there’s a reason for it.
