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.

And isn't the way - from the top down to skin it off.

Lots of people start from the bottom and go up. Guess they figured
the cut off area was to start from.
