Re: Toothed grinder wheel
Yup, try the Lancelot wood carving discs. they come in 4' diameter chain-style circular cutters in 14 and 22 tooth selections and arbor sizes 1/2 and 5/8. they list for $38.99
there is also an Arbortech disc for around $105. Haven't tried this one, but the Lancelot works great.
I think they have a website at www.woodcraft.com, but I'm not sure. These are in several catalogs, but this is the only one I can find right now.

Re: Toothed grinder wheel
Mbob, I have to suggest you think about the arbortech wheels. The one to getwould be the one with the replaceable carbide teeth. It is a little more but you get far better performance, and if you are going to work in burls there wont be as much time sharpening. They even have an attachment for a 4 inch grinder that is an extension arm with a 2' disc that gets in those tight spots great.I Cut It Six Times And It's Still Too Short!!!

Re: Toothed grinder wheel
I am using the Lancelot as well as the Arbortech blades and I certainly prefer the Arbortech since there is VERY little kickback and the wood stays very smoth and you can get the sanding disk for the tool as well it comes in very handy
hope this helps

Re: Toothed grinder wheel
These tools work great for quick removal of wood. I have the Lancelot and another similar tool. Just remember SAFETY!!! Just a second of not thinking almost cost me 2 fingers. I ended up in surgery to re-attach some tendons. I will still use these tools but CAREFULLY and never tired or rushed.

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby RolfI have both types of saw A tilting table Hawk g426 and an Older Excalibur with a tilting head. Unlike Carole for bevel cuts I prefer the tilting head I do larger projects and it is easier for me.
Regarding compound cuts they are cut at 90 degrees.
If I were in the market for a new...-

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby handibunnyIf you have a good saw, and can set the table accurately, you should be good to go. Give a holler if you need help. ๐
Randy, I swapped out the clamps on the Jet for the Pegas clamps as soon as they became available. I found the Jet clamps just too fidgety for my taste.-
