QUALITY AND SAFETY - Our patented structured tungsten carbide teeth are manufactured in a 5-stage process and bonded to steel discs over the total cutting surface, ensuring long life and minimal heat buildup. MADE IN THE USA - Don’t be fooled by cheap knockoffs and copycats that fail right when you need them most, costing you valuable time and money. You can feel confident knowing that our shaping disks are made to the highest quality standards, right here in the USA!.

Very good cutter head

This cutter works like a charm and is very durable. I was concerned that some reviewers mentioned problems with broken teeth, but after extensive use on hardwoods like white oak, black walnut, hard maple, beech I can't confirm this. My front tooth still has all its teeth. It removes material very quickly, but you have to let it do its job and not let it cut into the wood. This way the cutter will last a very long time and you won't risk kickbacks. :)

Not a happy user. for grinding and finishing materials

Purchased May 2016. The teeth in the 'belly' part of the curve were not as sharp as the other Holey Galahad disc I had previously purchased but was impressed by King told Arthur it was normal. Only used on Poplar and Cherry and now a year later the teeth in the same "belly" area are almost all broken. Very disappointed in what I thought was a quality tool. Maybe a similar Kutzall would be better. Edited April 2019: Yes I was right, Kutzall discs are way, way better!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I clean common logs in a log house and it removes the oxidized layer of wood very quickly and the tool does not clog. The reason it didn't get a five star rating is that the teeth wear out quickly. I used it for 5 hours of grinding and after another 5 hours the teeth are polished to the point where they are unusable. This is an expensive tool that wears out quickly. I would have to buy two more of these tools to get the job done, which is more than I'm willing to invest in grinding tools. Great

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost never

Works great but beware of rust if you clean as directed

This tool works great. I use it to "mold" the wooden seats for four dining room chairs. Two of the chairs have hickory seats and two have walnut seats. After completing the two hickory seats, a lot of wood was put into the instrument. I cleaned it with oven cleaner according to the instructions. After about 15 minutes, the embedded wood was gone, as was the green color. Okay, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. The next morning I went out to put it back on the mill and found that it had…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Appearance

Good back scratcher!

The disc seems to work well but obviously there is a manufacturing issue, straight out of the box it was the teeth which were chipped off or lying on the side and then varnished This given the price is this Device a bit disappointing but I don't think it had a huge impact on overall functionality. It's not a finely honed plane, a few kinks here and there - it's definitely not the end of the world. So far I've only used it on one project which involved forming a chair seat out of black walnut…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Where is the quality control?

I thought long and hard about ordering one of the discs and decided to start with the thinnest one. King Arthur's Tools Original and Patented Galahad Green Holey Fine Grit Tungsten Carbide Round Disc BUT when I first turned the disc on I was very surprised by the noticeable vibration! I checked it at all speeds from 1 to 4, and it wasn't until 3-4 that it became clear that this plate could still be used somehow. It is severely deformed and has a deviation of about 1mm during rotation, which is…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • A few little things
