carving

[Guy]

I miss out on some good yamadori because the trunk size is too large and is difficult to achieve a natural look --this Graham potter video is a good example of "getting something from nothing"-

thanks Nas.I will look into it

Graham is great to deal with a delivery is usually pretty good. The bits amazing to work with. The only thing that lets these bits down is the skill of the person using them. They do make carving a lot easier though. Well worth the money

These bits are hardly unique - they look like pretty standard DREMEL bits and can be found in Australia through wood working specialist suppliers. Try http://www.carbatec.com.au/ for starters.

I took my bit into carbotech and they said they don't sell them. Maybe you could link to the actual product mentioned above as I couldn't see them in that link you posted.

I have actually been into the store and asked for Dremel bits and they say they do not stock many due too supplier issues
Actually better off at Bunnings!

These sort of specialist carving bits are not available from dremel ( at least that i can find), and are designed for die grinders with a larger shaft diameter i think

I bought 2 bits from graham. Larger one fits the die grinder and removes wood quickly and a smaller one for the dremel for finer more detailed work. I looked for ages in oz before buying from graham and found nothing. These bits have very little kick back compared to standard bits from dremel etch.

Funny, someone makes a comment and is never heard from again

[Mount Nasura]

Yeah, I thought I'd just let this one go. It's a patented design by graham. Don't go beating round the bush.
