Abstract: A wood turning tool especially useful for roughing out operations. An angle grinder is mounted to a pair of parallel plates. The parallel plates are coupled together with a screw drive mechanism. The lower of the parallel plates has a perpendicular rod suitable for mating with the lathe banjo. A roughing out cutting operation is carried out by advancing the angle grinder fitted with a circular chain saw blade into the workpiece using the screw drive mechanism. Various texturing operations can be carried out using other cutters and wire brushes. The angle at which the cutting device addresses the workpiece can be adapted to various angles.
