    Have Shopbot -need Arbortech chisel?

    Hey cnc carvers,
    I want to be able to quickly remove chips from the edges of alligator juniper slabs I've carved. I'm talking fairly large chip removal. I don't really want to create this with Artcam. I would rather just do it by hand. Slabs range from 2 to 3" thick and from 16 to 30" tall x 50 to 80" long. For the one in the pic I used a hand chisel and hammer and a grinder to round up the chiseling a little then used a torch on it. I've been looking at the Arbortech Power chisel and mini grinder. Have any of you guys used one of these?
    thanks,
    Shari

    I have one I would sell real cheap just the carbide wheel. the teeth have some life left in them though one side may be chipped. how about 10.00 and shipping?
    I agree it would be far faster and more random doing it that way. but far more messy. I found that shavings fly hard and far (G)

    Reciprocating Carver

    If you have a flex shaft tool, you can buy a reciprocating handpiece. Flex shaft makes one as does Master Carever. Both available for Wood Carvers Supply, Inc. www.woodcarverssupply

    The RECIPRO-CARVER PRO is 49.95 plus shipping.
