Need reminding of a tool name?

[eccy_road]

I'm new to this site, but big thumbs up from me.

My memory has let me down again and was hoping one of you guys could shed some light for me.

I was lent a tool for a past project and need it again. It was called something like an arcitect / arbertect ? Its similar to an angle grinder, the disc maybe slightly larger. It was great for carving into the wood and for creating curvey sculptural pieces.

Thanks, Chris

Welcome to the forum Chris.

Welcome Chris

What sort of work do you do? Strictly carving, or is the carving to decorate some other piece (furniture?)

Best wishes

Neil

I make pieces of curvy furniture.

This next piece i'm making is a rocking chair, so after laminating plywood, chipboard and acrylic I'll use the arbortech to round the edges off, followed by sanding handtools.

With this layering technique I get some really nice effects.

I'll post some pics when this proj is done
