DE-barking a log half
wrote:
I am doing some turning as a beginner and find that removing the bark
from a bowl blank to be time consuming and tool dulling.
I am looking for a way of removing bark on a green blank.
Am wondering if a right angle grinder with some sort of blade would
work but I can't find the right kind of blade.
Any ideas.
----------------------------------------------------------
The following works on fiberglass, it would be my first stab at it.
A 4" Dia, Milwaukee right angle sander/grinder equipped with
a sanding disc attachment.
Remove the guard.
4" Dia, 24 grit x 7/8" ID sanding discs.
Don't waste your time with anything but Milwaukee.
I burned out everybody but Milwaukee.
Go to a good industrial hardware, definitely not a Lowes or HD item.
I bought discs in lots of 60 to get a price.
Wear a sanding mask.
