Arbortech Ball Gouge Shaper Angle Grinder

Powerful tool

This is the 4th carving tool out of the Arbortech range I have used (after the Woodcarver Pro-4, the TurboPlane and the TurboShaft).
The Ball Gouge is a very powerful tool, especially well-suited to hollowing out bowls etc.
It's unique shape with the circular blade removes wood very effectively. One needs to be careful not to delve deeper than intended!
It produces quite a good surface when cutting with the grain. When cutting against the grain, however, its efficient wood removal can quite aggressively tear the grain.
I found it easiest to control by constantly moving the ball-head while staying quite relaxed in my wrists and shoulders (when the temptation is to be rigid and not allow much movement in order to produce a smooth surface).Read full review
