- ARBORTECH POWER CARVING TOOLS REVIEW: Power Carving Unit, Contour Sander, Mini Turbo Kit #5 of 6
Video #5: The Arbortech Power Chsel. Today we review Power Chisel and the seven carving chisels that come with it. And, we will use it on the mahogany bowl we have been working on during the series.
Arbortech claims to be the forerunner in the power carving business. Is it true? Today we take a look at the three sanding tools that are a part of the Arbortech line of tools: The Power Carving Unit 4" sanding disc, the Mini Turbo Kit sanding disc, and the Contour Sander. As you'll see, they each do an excellent job at their respective tasks.

Thanks for the review. I was surprised as to how much you needed to refine the edge. Is there any chance it would work for you to demonstrate how you sharpen gouge chisels. I looked through your videos and did not see any but maybe that’s not what you are interested in showing. Regardless, thanks for the work you do show us.
Glad the vid was useful. There are lots of sharpening videos out there, and LOTS of opinions. I had a great teacher 30 years ago before the internet. Maybe someday I'll do a sharpening, but it is not in my plans for the near future. Good luck
I wish they would just sell the grinder unit separately and then adapters for each of their tools instead of a new grinder with the chisel, the power carver, and the mini carver
exactly the review I wanted, thanks for making the effort! Bowl looks great too!
I am glad it was useful. This bowl was just accepted to local art show. I was kind of excited.
The bench design is fantastic! Wow!
Glad you liked it. It is a great bench. I made it over 30 years ago. I've thought about making one for the channel, and giving it away...all I need is a little more time.
great video Thanks. I have clamp envy
thanks...and you can never have too many clamps...and you can usually find a way to make it work with however many clamps you have. BUT, I only tell my wife about the first statement!
Have you tried it on any wild grain? Like burls, knots, birds eye and such? Thanks for a helpful review!
To be sure, it is important to remember all the same rules of woodworking and carving as far as grain direction goes. So, while I have not tried it on any wood with more challenging grain patterns, I would expect that the same challenges would remain. I know for regular grained woods, like the bowl in this video, it still acted the same. If you have not seen it, check out this video where I did a significant amount of chip carving with the Power Chisel. But In order to negate the grain differences between the boards, I did all of this carving across the grain, which usually decreases the tear out. But then your carving pattern is 90 degrees to the wood grain.
Hope that was helpful. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.
OOPs forgot to add the link to the chip carving video (the chip carving starts at 5:12 in the video): ruclips.net/video/CxXTmCS7hvo/видео.html.
@@MadebyWolfe Thank you for your answer. It clears things up. I do a lot of hand carving so i'm used to working in relation to grain directions. But I have never used a power chisel and i'm very interested in buying one in the future, mostly for ergonomic reasons but i've been trying to figure out in my head what those micro movements would do to those kinds of grain structures. =) Thanks for the answer, and i'll check out that video for sure!
@@ClaesKamp Yes, the ergonomics is different, and I think better. It is more weight than a chisel, but the grip, force, etc. is so much less, and if you use a mallet with the hand chisel, that is no longer a part of the picture. So that you are aware, there were some instances where I was able to see the micro movements in the chisel stroke. I mention it here only because of the nature of your posts. It is extremely minor (I have to be specifically looking for it and pretty much only on end grain) but can be identified if you go looking for it and you have experience in carving. Most would not even notice it. On the other hand because the stroke with the Power Chisel is so much smoother, the overall result is pretty sweet and an improvement from before. And the quality and life span of the chisel edge was better than I was expecting. I had to resharpen less than with my regular chisels which are pretty decent chisels.
@@MadebyWolfe Thank you so much for that answer. I'm now decided on getting one. Hard to find that kind of usage information on those tools. Ohh now the tool acqusition disorder is on! =)
Take care!
could you easily enough make your own chisels for the machine ? i would imagine youd only need chop a chisel off at the hilt to spot weld a bit of bar on the end then grind a little flat spot on there .how would this compare to an sds dril with a wood chisel attchment ? my dads just picked one of these up and it is loud ha
Amazing chisel! What type of wood did you use on this bowl?
It's mahogany
Pretty cool setup. Thanks for the review. Bowl turned out great 👊
Thanks and thanks for watching. I have been pretty happy with it. There is a video about the making of the bowl that I put up a couple of days ago: ruclips.net/video/BfjUrbRSkSs/видео.html
Also, I have a video that will be live tonight that has a significant amount of chip carving in it with the Power Chisel I'm just finishing the upload stuff now.
looks great and useful review - how about the noise?
the noise is bad enough to need headphones, but not more than I would have expected for a tool. Pretty much sounds like an angle grinder.
ayy what a nice bowl
It was a lot of fun to see it come together in the "Look what I found inside" video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How does this compare to the Automach power carver?
This is the only power carver I have used so I cannot make any functional comparison.
GOOD JOB !!! BRAVO !!! :)
Regards Paul P.
👍 + sub !! ;)
Thanks Paul. I have really liked the power chisel and what it can do. Here is a couple videos where I used it: ruclips.net/video/VUaXKkq61gQ/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/CxXTmCS7hvo/видео.html Thanks for watching, and commenting...and subscribing.
show the back of the chisel and a photo of the inside of the felt for lubrication after a couple of hours of hard work.
would like to see you actually sharpening the chisels
A lot of Japanese influence in your s style, and it like it
Thank You
Is it noisy?
That is an excellent question. My answer is...you need to wear headphones. I actually think it is not as bad as a miter saw, but it would not be good for you hearing to listen to it long term without headphones. Also, it is variable speed and the speed you have it at makes a big difference. At 6 is it quite noisy, but at 1-2 it is not too bad for a power tool. Hope that is helpful. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
hard to see the video is blurry
Pretty lousy edge on that chisel out of the box that you had to grind an EIGHTH of an inch! Doesn't speak well for the company. That said, you can now leave the competition behind in making wooden shoes.
Thanks for the forced adds while trying to watch somthing that is an add review for a tool this is why we need a downvote count
