The Arbortech-Grinder:

In 1992 I bought my first Arbortech-Grinder at the NEC-woodturning show in Birmingham.  It was a prototype-showmodel  I could take home (that's Holland) at last day of the show. I used it for many years but never showed pictures because a very famous English woodturner called it a butchering-tool.  It has become quiet popular now.  Meanwhile I made hundreds of forms with it. I have a newer one now and use it a lot for texturing  and sometimes hollowing or rough shaping very unbalanced pieces of wood particularly burrs. Always use extreme caution when you use the grinder, use extra face shield and gloves. And have fun!!
