MANPA Tools established in 1988, produce a series of tools that are based around angle grinder attachments. The Multi cutter is a Safe alternative to Grinder attached cutting devices. The belt drive system allows the head to slip when the situation arises, rather than kicking back and causing potential for injury. In this video we show how to setup and use the multi cutter on a grinder a safer alternative to other attachments. We give a full review of the tool and test it out by carving on White Oak. It cuts like butter. Pickup a cheap grinder like ryobi, milwaukee, dewalt, craftsman or bosch at harbor freight or princess auto an add this cutter to it.
Please STOP using the angle grinder attachments with Chainsaw wheel! It’s not a question of if , it is just WHEN you will let your guard down and get bit!
Angle grinders do not STOP when you turn them off. They have a lot of inertia and continue to run for several seconds after they are shut off. Also these chains do not have anti kickback. So when this tool kicks back and jumps out of your hand, it will continue to run for 10-30 seconds with a considerable amount of force. That;s a lot of time to rip and tear though meaty fingers, tendons and bone.
Do a search for the Lancelot , King Arthur or Wheel of death. you will see all the carnage this tool causes. If you have to use a tool like this , then use a SAFE alternative like the Manpa Mini cutter. The Manpa mini cutter uses a belt drive for the cutter. By using a belt drive the danger of kickback is eliminated as the belt will slip rather than kickback.
Hopefully this saves another carver from serious injury.
Paul Frenette from the “Carver Kings” on “HGTV” and also “Saw Dogs” the father and son team, explains how we got a wood heating system setup for our shipping containers. We use a wood stove with some crafty building to heat 2 40ft shipping containers and a 20 footer shipping containers.
We are going to be so toasty warm this winter at the shop. We added a heat exchange / Transfer unit to the wood stove and are testing it out today to see how it does heating up the shop. Follow along as we continue to make modifications to our shipping container shop and studio in between working on all the awesome commissions and chainsaw carving projects
