Arbortech.

Some time ago i posted asking if anyone had heard about a small power chisel ?

Eventually sourced the wood cutting power chisel from Abortech, have been using it for a few months now and it is brilliant, well it is for my work, especially if i'm restoring a Vic floor and some swine has used carpet grippers and nails.

Trying to angle in to get the screed cut out so a new or reclaimed tile can be put back using a hammer and small chisel or even a supercut (by Fein) is awkward and under a radiator near impossible due to small amount of overhead swing.

Using the Arbortech makes short work of this fiddly job.

Ok you need to resharpen the chisel edges but it has saved me lot's of time.

It's made in Oz but Axminster tools sell it here.

I love it. Cheers Steve

:drool5: Ah! I've been looking at the Axminster multimaster that includes a reciprocating chisel, but haven't figured out if there are various size blades - how about the Arbortech?... I am thinking of woodwork projects combined with glass... I can make / revamp furniture to a decent standard...

Is it this one Tenchman?

I've just drooled over those pages... chisel, carver, mini grinder attachment for normal grinders, lovely ... gorgeous in fact... and some other brands, too, all safely bookmarked... I can smell the wood nearly... :lol:

Glad it has Cheered you up G, i have used to carve sandstone as well, my original job should have been a stone carver but i was too damn good at mosaic & tiles so became a Tyler-Mason.

Not used the arbor tech on wood yet lol. but the grinder kit looks good as well thinking of getting that soon.
let's know how you get on G.

there are lots of sized blades i've pm'd the oz info for their tech guy. Yeah Scottley that is the one. the chisels are as tough as hell i've been using them on old floors for months now.
