- Cutting & carving wood with an Angle Grinder can be difficult and even dangerous without a proper blade. Here I test and Review the Graff Speedcutter which is specifically built to cut and carve wood quickly. Made of steel, it has three tungsten carbide teeth and fits perfectly into a standard grinder.
Here you'll see me cutting and power carving wood, proving it can be done, and allowing you to draw your own conclusions about this blade.

Your advice on using the small tooth circular is absolutely correct. This has caused a deep wound on my left hand around 10 inches long a month ago; still recovering. I shall burry the blade and request all ' please never use the small tooth circular saw blades'.
Thank you for sharing that Bramha. I'm sorry to hear about your injury and wish you a swift and full recovery.
I'm willing to guess it was kick-back that caused your trouble. It's nasty and causes far too many accidents.
You're advice is exactly right - use the correct blade for the job.
I have lived the fling grinder of my hands experience with a circular saw blade for angle grinder and my knees are still shaking when I remember it. Personally i would never tried it again. Hope be soon better man.
Its true. @@vogman Too late that I watch this. My grinder with the circular saw was kickback and cut along my ankle near to my tendon but did not cut my tendon, praise the Lord. I was foolish to work on the floor. My cut was 3 inch long and needed 11 stitches and had a cast on my foot for about 12 days.
Wishing all peeps here a swift recovery .
Not meaning to be a tw*t but use your tool as it was recommended?
Your video shows how versatile is an angle grinder, it can be used with metal, wood and even ceramic. Nice video many thanks.
I agree. It's one of my favourite tools : )
"Honey, have you seen the piano bench?"
"Can't talk, Love. Making a video!"
I'm in the market for a little angle grinder to add to our workshop (more for use on corrugated tin than woodworking) but really liked the information on that saw blade you had. May need to add one of those later. =)
: D
Not available in our maker can I buy on line
Great video. Thanks for demonstrating everything this blade can do. Was concerned about kick back when using such a blade on an angle grinder - and with similar blades, people have complained about it. But I think I'll give the one you demonstrated a go as you seemed very happy.
Kickback is a VERY big problem if you use the wrong blade. But this one is excellent : )
So good watching the stable cutting action. I just felt bad with the chair. 😂😂😂
This was satisfying to watch.
I like your time lapse photography. A five minute job seen in 30 seconds. I also like to see the ease of use you demonstrate with an angle grinder.
Many thanks 😊
When are you going to return the chair you borrowed from me?
Brilliant!!!!
You can have it now, but it's a bit shorter ; )
I trust any modifications you made are for the better. I found your video very useful-thanks!
Vacuuming under the chair could be tricky now...
Glad you enjoyed it : )
On the other hand he can
mail it to you.
Haha
USA here 💙...thx soooo much for the informative vid💯👍👍👍😊
Props to you for propagating for a safe alternative to normal diamond cutting disks, I feel as if stores should be doing more on educating the buyer of what are the dangers of what they are buying.
RUclips is where most modern DIYers start woodworking, and when you've got videos such as "how to build a circular saw in 10 minutes" aimed at beginners, it can be very dangerous.
Haha I didn’t even know these things existed 🤦🏻♂️. I just use a steel cutting disc and hold my breath from all the smoke it creates 🙄🙄. Would definitely be a handy piece to have for a wood worker👍🏻
If only cutting metal was this easy, eh mate?
I'd love to bring this to some community woodworking shop with that typical non-productive feminine rehabilitation culture. In the midst of some stupid mindfulness discussion between some members you fire up your angle grinder and make a loud high-pitch noise while making great cuts instantly while another member is struggling with an worn down handsaw. After they run to you in shock at how quickly their ambiance is destroyed you act completely oblivious as there are other ways to cut wood. Love it!
Additional idea: Circular saw kit for angle grinder! In combination with that woodworking blade.
These exist too, but it has to be made specific for certain brands and model ranges. For example the Metabo CED 125 product.
Spinning at 183 times per second, I've used one for a few year, there spot on.
I use my angle grinder to do curved cuts on ceramic tiles and score bricks just make sure to have a good grip and not rush
I use them professionally on metal and this is the best advice. Keep it under control and let the grinder cut or grind for you. Do not force it into a cut or grind or it can kickback.
Also keep your hands positioned to easily disengage the trigger.
Do NOT remove the guard. Unplug it before switching discs or moving the guard. The guard is meant to protect you from a disc exploding.
Brilliant! Thanks for the thorough review! And that bowl looks great!
Thanks Rob : )
you can ofc put a regular saw blade on an angle grinder, you just need to regulate your speed ^^
yep i just bought it... .used it for a small tree trunk.. and i absolutely cut around all roots (dirt removal and pebble removeable) before i used the grinder on the roots.. (hollowed out as much as i could before hand).
Thanks for that : )
Thanks for sharing.
I love what you are showing.😍😍😍
I have 1 on order now. 👍👍😀
You'll love it : )
Have you seen stumpy nubs video or others of people who have almost cut off limbs with this? I have one. If you carve with it the chance of kick back is high. Great vid sir
I almost lost a finger to this blade the other day. It is a beast and it did kickback for me.
Piotr R is thia true?
Very Very good video, thanks so much for sharing. I liked the video, nice views, good angles, and also liked the general tone of it, very informative, just what is needed. The real use on both cutting and carving was super interesting. Will serously consider buying one of those blades !
Thanks again, greeting from Belgium !
That's very kind. Thank you : )
As someone who doesn't have anything like a circular saw, something like this might come in handy for me without having to buy a whole new tool
You'll be surprised how good it works Peter : )
I use my angle grinder with a Kutzal wood carving attachment to make 3D flags (like they're waving in the wind). I love it!
That sounds amazing
. Bbb
Mm
Nice job, thank you sir.
many thanks : )
I used different wood disk and they are very good specially if you don’t need to cut very neat and clean job I bought 4 disk some one brought from Poland it came to 15 quid
A moment of silence for the chair.
The wood on it was very good.
Thanks for this video, am delighted that this is designed
Glad you like it!
Nice demo and review mate. I'll be looking into these, many uses I think. Thanks
It puts the fun back in wood cutting : )
The number of times I've nicked myself using a diamond blade, you'll never see me using one of these.
As useful as it would be to cut clapboards to new window installation exterior trim, the consequences of the slightest slip up are frightening. Maybe with a foot switch so both hands are on the tool? I'll reluctantly give a coarse diamond segmented a try but I really should commit to the oscillating tool.
Ideally you can use handle mounting threads to makeshift a guide, should you want to be even more precise when cutting?
i spend all my life dreaming this kind of blade ( the designing i mean ) ... u r amazing .... hope to get one of those blade .. i hope i hope
Don't give me the credit. I didn't design it. I just tested it. It's good : )
Instant kerfing!
You've just convinced me to buy one of these.
They're pretty good : )
@@vogman what's the cut depth like? I've just found this exact blade on Amazon and it's a superb price with great reviews.
Good one, thanks for the demonstration. I have not used my angle grinder for cutting wood as yet, but this blade looks better than the chainsaw chain disk type. I will have to see if these are available where I am.
Regards, Keith.
I've never used the chainsaw-looking ones. I've always thought they look terrifying : )
@@vogman Agreed :)
Keith.
Great video !!, nicely explained. Now I feel more at ease... I just bought same design but different brand... Thanks for sharing....
Glad it helped 😁
Impressive video, Subscribed 👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
It looks a lot better than the flesh munching chainsaw model some daft head is marketing. Please keep that guard on and wear good quality gloves as we know how fast fingers can go missing on something that travels at 11000 rpm ,good demonstration of this item!
After reading most of the comments I now realize how foolish I have been for taking lightly on the danger of angle grinder until my own accident. Too late though but never again to use a circular saw. I will try to look for it in my country which hopefully they do carry this type of disc.
You're not alone Yaqeen. I tried it too. Luckily the initial kickback scared me enough to prevent further experiments.
I can assure you, this particular disc does NOT suffer from kickback. I always feel safe and in control when using it.
@@vogman Lately on Online Shop they did sell the new disc which similar from your video except the disc is came with six teeth. Is it safer compare with the three teeth version. (New on Grinder but safety is my priority concern.)
Just ordered one thanks great review 👍
Nice one Des 😁
That's a great blade I need to try, and absolutely nobody should ever use small teeth blades. I learned that the hard way since I didn't want to listen to my grinder kicking back and almost got my left thumb down, thumbs up for your review anyways lol
Couldn't agree more Piotr : )
awesome demo. Thanks, I had no idea these were even a thing......
It's a nice little tool. Comes in very handy : )
Well done bro.. liked.. Definitely I'd like to buy the Graff disc you used on the video.. but it's not easy to get in my country.. what other alternatives discs can you suggest which is safer than the circular saw for an angle grinder?
Good job , thank u for sharing.
As a wood carver I can thoroughly recommend the Graff, it has become my most favoured angle grinder companion. The Saxton is a similar make and quality. This disc will last a long time if handled with care, always keep both hands on the grinder and watch the rotation, it must also match the grain, never work against it. Safety is taking your time on a project, this is a reliable disc and one I couldn't do without.
I bought a saw blade for my angle grinder but I've been too scared to use it
Excellent and very helpful presentation.
Thanks : )
Thanks for the nice video which is very useful applicable for woodworking.
Thanks Abdul : )
Angle grinders are amazing, you can cut/grind ANYTHING with them.
They are my favourite tool : )
@@vogman Mine aswell, very versatile. Do treat them with respect though :)
If you don't, they soon teach you to 'learn' some respect : )
@@vogman Haha, that's true. I would rather not learn that the hard way :)
@@Charlie6969 Unfortunately I learned the hard way!
excellent demonstration, I will buy the blade. I hope it is at reasonable price. thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for watching!
@@vogman
I loved it.
Just bought an angle grinder 4 1/2 inch. It comes with a metal grinding disc but I wish to use it to carve out the bulk material in wood. I have not even plugged this thing in yet too scared to make mistakes. This video helped tremendously I was looking to see who is using their grinder for carving wood but what disc can you use safely. I was tempted to try my metal grinder disc to carefully carve wood but I’m not feeling it yet!😬 at least I just got schooled on the safety factors of this tool and I respect that. I have healed from a ruptured achilles (5yrs now)and a colles fracture to my dominant right wrist (6months ago)- I sure as hell don’t need an injury from careless tool use. I depend on these videos for knowledge but also to see what I’m getting myself into? Thank you.... the jury is still out on plugging this tool in?🤔
I've found this blade to be really good with no kick-back. BUT don't let that stop you from being cautious. That tiny voice in our heads is there to keep us safe! So wear safety gear, go slow and steady. You'll be fine :-)
VOG Thank you so much for your prompt reply and more importantly your video! I’m a fan ! ( I’ve liked and subscribed)😉 I feel more confident just from your reply...... Thank you! 🙏
Just bought this blade from amazon.
Would have been useful information a day ago 😂, almost cut my hand with a wood cutting disk with multiple teeth
Eeek! But I've done the same myself... we were the lucky ones : )
Great! I'm struggling to cut a thick and strong piece of wood and my jigsaw simply isn't powerful enough to cut through, my circular saw isn't precise enough so this is the best solution so far because cutting it by hand is waaay too long, hard and also not precise enough... Anyway thanks for the video.
Very interesting.. thanks.. ps LOVE your rich accent
Thanks Simon : )
I use my angle grinder and a small touth circular saw blade ,But when I use it always kicked suddenly and strongly and I used it because I do not underestimate it and prove it strongly because it is really dangerous. But I will buy a circular saw when I have the money and I hope to survive until then haha
As long as you're being careful and sensible Hisham. I wouldn't like to think of you getting hurt.
Take care my friend : )
Nice blade love to have one.
You'd love it : )
A guy in my work took the blade off his rip saw and put it on a grinder so he could get into a tight space . It kicked back cutting deep into his leg .
Oh yes... very easily done. I tried similar things myself and got VERY nasty kick back. You really need the right sort of disc.
I can honestly say you get no kick back from this one. It feels safe to use and you're in control.
Thanks for sharing that.
VegOilGuy ok
Great video VOG. i will buy one.
Enjoy it
great need one for some wood project where can I buy this blade for the grinder
any help would be great thanks again for your video
I could never have too much tools.
To be honest I'm the same : )
Thanks sir for the video.
Most welcome
Bosch Carbide multi wheel is also another option and available in the market. Guaranteed no kickback.
Thanks for the info : )
Totally agree, i've been using bosch carbide multiwheel on wood and plastics with great success and absolutely no kickback
agree
Always use a electronic speed regulator available for a few bucks, and use the slowest speed that will comfortably cut through the material. No kickbacks, no accidents, very comforting to work with!
That's good advice : )
I may buy an electronic speed regulator
Nice.
thx, the shape took my attention on ebay, but i thought its dangerous.
Since you showed it has no kickback i will buy it since its cheap (5$ only)
If it's the same brand, go for it! I had no kickback issues and $5 sounds a bargain.
@@vogman looks absolutly the same , it a simple device steel with hardmetal-inserts.
A lot of different chinese sell them. Also a lot of importers sell them for 20$.
I Buy a lot of tool from china and i am satisfied with 95% of it. Only bad thing where small "m35" metal drills. But on the other side i bought good drills too (these 30-35cm long ones).
Now that you’ve shown this blade, Do they sell the angle grinder to circular saw conversion kits or do you have to make your own?
whats ideal for cutting plywood?... I want to replace ceiling and need a good clean smooth cut.
You could use this blade on plywood, yes, but a nice sharp ordinary wood saw will work just as well for you : )
Subscribed. 👍
Great to hear that Joe : )
I cry for that chair!
Would you say a grinder newbie would be able to handle this blade and cut wood safely? Would you recommend? I've used the angle grinder a few times only to cut PVC but that's all the experience that I have. Pls advise.
Oh, by the way, did you adjust the speed setting of your grinder? Mine runs at 12000 RPM.
I'm curious as to how well this would work on exposed lawn roots to shave them?
You would kill the tree and you would hit the dirt makeing dangerous debris dirt and sand are bad ideas for anglegrinder
I mean a hatchet would do or just burn them
What if someone takes out some teeth from a regular saw blade? Would it work like these 3 teeth ones?
I wouldn't even bother trying. These blades are cheap enough and do a great job without risking my health with dangerous kickback.
You can use a zip cut blade and do the same thing, and most welding trucks carry them, no need for another item to carry in your trucks tool box when space is a premium.
That's a good tip for all those truck drivers out there : )
5/32 discs work as well, but they create a lot more smoke. These style blades shown tend to require a bushing to properly fit the shaft.
Are u using the right disc for grinding wood
could you not get a wood cut blade and remove / file down teeth?
Can it be used for Hitachi 4" angle grinder? Please guide
Good video showing whats capable with an angle grinder. A lot of these types of videos make me cringe when it comes to safety, but this was a solid presentation. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Andrew : )
No, this wasn't a bodge it and see type video. The blade is completely legitimate and, as you've seen, works a treat.
I've had lots of people say, "Why use an angle grinder on wood?" and I tend to reply, "Why use an angle grinder on metal?"
The point is, with this disc, you can use a grinder as it meant to be used - but on wood : )
If you ever punched me with those massive hands you’d send me to another dimension VOG lmao
Well Anthony, I'm 6 foot 5 and over 30 stone in weight, so if my hands were smaller it would look very strange : )
wonder if they sell 5'' wood cutting blades ,Thanks for video , much appreciated
I'm not sure Mike : )
@@vogman that's ok ,but I'm glad you showed me that wood cutting blades for grinders do exist ,thanks again
Were can I get this wood cutting blade how much cost?
This is now available from Amazon - amzn.to/32H9WmR
useful video
Happy to help
I waaaaaaaaant that grinder stand. Nice vid also
Thanks 👍
I'm a new subscriber :) Glad I found your channel. I am a carver so this could come in handy. Looks a LOT better than those chain saw angle grinder blades. Seen lots of videos with people using those with no safety shield, no face mask and no gloves in a norm tee shirt. Eek.
Great to hear from a wood carver... I know what you mean about those chain-saw blades, they've always terrified me : )
This disc really isn't like that. My only note of caution to you would be this - go gently!
There's no effort involved and no kick back, so it would be very easy to overdo things. But I suspect a skilled guy like yourself will get the hang of it very quickly.
Let me know how you get on - a feel free to share a link with what you make ; )
Heya :) This is my carving account. If you click my profile, you can check out my video that shows a couple of carvings. Cheers :)
Thanks for sharing this. You're clearly VERY talented. Keep going with your channel. I expect to see great things : )
Nifty, I'll have to try that..
Thanks Rob : )
@@vogman you bet friend 👍👍
Angle grinder is tool of death i got very serious injury while i was cutting wood with Angle grinder!
You are absolutely right Shakeel. With the wrong disc, an angle grinder is deadly. But with this disc, cutting would is very controllable and safe. Thanks for pointing that out : )
i cut 3 layer plywood with 40t wood saw disc atached to my small $17 12v cordless drill. imagine the kickback. and i cut metal with it too haha
Wow, that sound terrifying : )
Like living dangerously, are you....?; or not living at all...!
I noticed that you used a variable speed angle grinder, what rate did you apply while cutting that 2"x4" wood?
I didn't bother with variable speed - I just went for it 😁
Where to get this blade is sydney plzzz
Is that a ceramic cutter, VOG?
I used this blade for shape totem and tiki but it’s very dangerous
My neighbour uses a multi toothed blade in his grinder, he won't listen to me , says he's been using it for years. oh dear.
Nasty... I once foolishly dabbled and the kickback was enough to scare me away permanently. This blade has none of that. If it did, I would have NEVER done the video : )
hey veg it's a remake of a old design back from the 80's
Nice
Thanks
Great disc anyway.
It's very good : )
Whts the disc name
Does anybody know if there's a sterl chop saw blade to cut wood?
Mrs Vog "Were's my dinning room chair?"
Vog "It's in the garden"
Mrs Vog goes to get the chair and exclaims "I want a divorce!"
He damaged a good part of the chair..
I wonder if it will cut perspex without cracking it
Can anything cut perspex without cracking it? 😁😂
In honesty I have my doubts. From my experience it's fragile stuff and a more delicate touch than a spinning blade is probably best : )
@@vogman true unfortunately, so far low speed with the jigsaw seems best for complex cutting
where can i buy that disc. how much will it cost
Hi Thomas. I do mention the website in the video and description I think. You can buy securely online from there. You won't be disappointed : )
tQ, i will see.
Good video! It always freaks me out using a grinder with an aggressive blade. StumpyNubs had a kickback with a wood cutter on an angle grinder. Are you still happy with it?
This blade worked great for me. I get it out every once in a while when I need to plough through some wood fairly quickly - all without kickback 😁
