Review on ๐Ÿชš Graff Speedcutter 4 1/2: Premium Wood Carving Disc for Angle Grinder - Circular Saw Blade for Precise Cutting, Sculpting & Shaping - 7/8" Arbor - 115mm Diameter by Donotello Figueroa

Very aggressive and that's good (usually!)

I had to cut some long grooves along the inside roofline of my log cabin to install new ceiling tiles. I used to use a chainsaw for things like this, but following straight lines this way is a real challenge. Imagine an angle grinder fitted with my new GRAFF Speedcutter blade. At first I tried to follow my lines by pushing the boat forward, but it just didn't work; The instrument was everywhere. But when I changed tactics and tried to "pull" the grinder along the line, it was the ticket. It cut VERY quickly, but by holding the tool I was able to control it to my liking. ("Pulling" the grinder behind it actually pulls the cutting edge of the wheel "up" through the wood, and that's the secret to maintaining control.) Also, as shown, this blade can cut wood by swiping the wheel from side to side. What a chainsaw does, it really can't do. This was perfect for me when I needed to widen a groove in multiple places. Put on safety goggles and good gloves!

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Almost never
