    Question angle grinder attachments

    Hi guys, ive just started doing some woodworking again for the first time since high school and so far ive been going really well. But ive just ran in to a problem. Ive aquired a Burr and would like to make a bowl out of it. Ive been told the best way to do it would be to get an attachment for my 4" angle grinder that will carve out the wood. Problem is i cant find one???
    Does anyone know where these are available or even ideas on another method would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Benji.

    Well I don't know where to get one in Wollongong, but you're after a product by Arbotech, if that helps at all.

    Cheers

    Benji, try The Hardware Man at Unanderra (Ph 4222 1200). I purchased the Pro IV some time ago and have carved out several burls. It is a good tool to use very carefully!

    Needless to say, long sleeve shirt, gloves, Full face screen, earmuffs, long trousers, sandbags and use the guard!!
