I need a woodworking apron for this carving game. My pockets are full of dust!!

Buy once, cry once! Thank you for the high quality videos, through your woodworking journey.

Great reviews. I think a pair of gloves when changing any of those blades would be a must. especially for the cheap ones . They look dangerous.

Its nice to see a good honest review that you can trust. Thank you John.

Great timing again. I've just started my first mushroom carving. I have a set of the cheapo chinese disks. Will be off now to get some Kutzall's as you recommend. Thanks for taking the time to test these out.

Freak'n loved this. I've purchased and used a few Kutzall discs over the years, and the price was always painful. But it looks like they're worth it!

Great comparison John I’ve done quite a bit of carving using a grinder and I would like to say that what ever money you save with a cheap disc is quickly eliminated with the time spent trying to remove the discs from the grinder as you pointed out! Then you have the damage caused by the increase in the likelihood of a chip out. They are also more difficult to control when shaping so the desired outcome is not as precise as the user is hoping for. All this followed by more aggressive sanding is required to remove the deeper gouges so add in the cost of consuming more flap wheels. The biggest concern being safety for all the above and those reasons you covered in this video. I agree 100% with the old adage “ You Get What you pay for”. I am a Kutzall affiliate because I’m impressed with their quality and my results with their discs. If you would like to see some really cool contrasting colors in your carving give Shou Sugi ban and red cedar a try the color contrast is amazing. I’ve done a few videos with this medium if you wanna see what I’m referring to. Excellent video!

Nice review. I thought about buying some cheap discs. But now I am NOT. Thank you John 🙂

Cheers John, These things terrify me so I'm unlikely to be trying this anytime soon but thanks to you I know which ones I'd be going for if I ever had the need. Hopefully the fingers are mended OK.

Thank you for doing the homework on these so "WE" don't have to I have been checking out these different cutting discs video's and they all pretty much say the same thing about the cheaper ones that their not comfortable using them and they could be dangerous. After watching your video I think that I will make the investment on the kutzall brand again because their safer and they have a lot more longevity. thank you again!!

Good review but I think I'll stick to hand carving with a mallet and chisels

Great tool review and definitely good advice “buy cheap by twice” hope the fingers get better soon and the dish looks very cool

While I'm not planning on doing any carving any time soon, I know I'll try it at some point. Very informative vid. I hate using the angle grinder, just not my favourite tool at the best of times.

Your videos have a way of turning a bad day around. Thank you for the positive vibes!

Great video fella, definitely showed the benefits of the decent ones. I have one of the garbage ones, but only tried it once and it was a bit sketchy lol

Cheers John. Youve saved me from a lifelong habit of buying cheap twice...

I bloody love your videos, really pleased you’re back making some content! Long may it continue 😊

Thanks for taking one for the team. We got a great review out of it though thanks mate.

Great video John. I had just bought the OBA flat disc just to have in stock in case I ever needed it. As soon as I have typed this, I will go to my shed and throw it straight in the bin! So glad you tried it and gave your opinion. It will have definitely saved someone from injury.

Thanks for doing this video, John. I really appreciate your honesty in this. I think I'll stick with the Kutzalls. I don't like grinders in general because they can cause so much damage so quickly. I do think the grinder has a place in this kind of woodworking though. Although I would probably start out a bowl in oak with a hand tool like and adze or some kind of large scooping tool. Then maybe finess with the Kutzall fine disks. Thanks again, John! Always enjoy your videos. Very well done audio and highest quality video.

THANKS POR THE REVIEW

another solid video! I've heard many people say to stay away from the cheap carving discs, for the same reasons you mentioned! I'd be curious to see what you think of the Arbortech turbo plane carving tools. From what I've seen they remove material very well, but it's actual blades, so it produces way less dust as well. Anyway, cheers from Pennsylvania!

Great video, and yes cheap is cheap no matter what manufacturer. Hope you heal well

Thanks John. Those black 1's did a fine job of turning yer electric bill into noise. Sharps and gloves are a good combo. Heal well. Take care & stay safe.

Just wanted to swing by this channel and mention I really enjoyed your whiskey channel. Any chance you might resume that at some point? Cheers!

when the packaging has a German spelling error on the front you know it's going to be high quality…😂

Thanks John, great instructional Video. sorry you hurt your finger, hope it gets better real soon. Looking forward to your next video.

Cracking video john looks wicked. I have couple the cheap ones and yes i agree they are grabby although didnt have the arbour issue you did. I am planning saving for the kutzal ones. More these video's please 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Thanks John for the review as always buy cheap buy twice 👌

My concern is safety issues...the angle grinder is one of the most dangerous power tool that there is, i am using it from time to time on cutting metal, tiles and on bricks. I saw injuries because of not using it properly and in safety manners ( used by professionals)Removing the angle grinder safety guard is a big no no! You holding settings of the wood is also not safe ( you must fasten the wood both sides). The grinder can kick back to you and it can be happend even with high hand cutters! Wood have got fibers so it won't act predictable like metal or tiles.... Safty first

Have you seen the arbor tech discs, I’m wondering if they are worth the high price tag too, they seem to have large too the options, great video 👍

Great review John

Thanks

What is a tree disc set?

Hi John. Thanks for the review. Have you considered the Arbortech carving discs? Ive heard they are fantastic.

I think I would feel safer with a carving bar on my chainsaw than those cheap disks, at least my hands are out of the way with that.

Not surprised. Cheap abrasives, drill bits, blades, router bits, etc are almost never worth it. They are the part that does the cutting. Better to have a cheap drill with a quality bit than the opposite.

We call the cheap ones “the widow maker “

"Cheap tool maker here...", replies noone. There was blood, sweat, and tears in this video.

I think you’ve just scared me. Specially with my sight loss don’t think Art uses. Might just stick to the old-fashioned tools, good old hands and sweat, building a Windsor chair and hollering out the base thought about getting one of these but I want. I’ll deafly not have many things left. 0:37

i learned that the Kutzall brand is far superior to the Chinese made blades. Thanks.

a decent ads would have given you more fun.
