Default Power Carving Bowls

Recently I have becom fascinated with the idea of carving bowls with an angle grinder. I have found several blades and assorted abrassive disks on the net. As you would expect, all the vendors claim the best results. I even tried to find DVD's or VHS tapes on the use of angle grinders, but have not had much luck. So ... I really would like to hear from all of you on what they find that works and what doesn't. All help is appreciated

I've tried the arbotech wheel, and the Saburr tooth wheel, and liked them both...but I don't have extensive experience with either.

I use a Kutzall 4" dish style carving wheel to rough out large bowls.

Cuts fast and makes a lot of dust!

Here is a picture of my latest bowl that I just started working on. It's spalted sugar maple.
