Default Roto chisels
Anyone ever used one of those 3 cornered roto chisels? What's your opinion?
Thanks,

I do think that power gouge that you refer to is the one used on a ¼” die grinder or flex shaft. I think it would work very well and not be as dangerous as the chainsaw discs I use.

Dick lots of experience with this tool. Absolutly love it never had it kick or bind removes a lot of wood really fast. It comes in many different profiles. The only draw back is that it can be very expensive for a set of them especially in the large ones. Just my two cents worth I have used them for years they stay sharp never ever sharpened mine in probably eight years.
