Review on Turbo Shaft IND FG 500 by Arbortech by Andrew Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I love Turbo planer

I love Turbo planer but I think I can live without this product. It won't get into hard-to-reach places - you'll need plenty of turning space to angle these cutters properly. It removes wood at a speed I can almost match with my hand tools since I'm trained to use them in a classic way. It's well built and fairly safe to use - unlikely to snag and fly out of your hand, nor likely to be destroyed as quickly as a sharp burr tool can do. I've used it on a well balanced fine grinder and it was pretty handy in terms of vibration. It's a good tool, but fairly limited for the type of carving I do, and it's not cheap, so it wasn't the best use of my money.

Pros
  • Rotary tools
Cons
  • Long delivery time
