Has anyone used one of these?

Was chatting to a colleague and he said they were very handy but did a bit of research online and read they can jump and are dangerous to use?

Would be great for first fix work, notching for pipes/cables or just a general aid on site.

no but I have looked at them before and always been interested in trying one out just never come across a job where I thought I NEED one.  If I was to buy one it would be more for messing about then actual use.   saying that though I can see it being really handy for certain situations.

I use the Arbortech Industrial cutter, which has three carbide cutters.  I use it for sculptural work and it works very well (I've used it for renovations too where I'm sure there is no metal).  I can be very aggressive with it or finesse the surface too.  I like how I can cut using the face and edge of the wheel.  I would imagine that Arbortech's Pro4 blade (steel, not carbide) works similarly.

Last year, I tried one of the chainsaw discs to which you linked for a day.  I had also heard of issues with lack of control but I didn't experience that myself but I didn't like how it only cut using the edge of the disc.

The accidents I've heard of are from user-error, such as holding a bowl in one hand and the grinder in the other.  Hmm.  I think I should do a video on using the Arbortech Industrial cutter...

I I have used one like that but not that brand. Did a log cabin look in basement. Had to scribe logs to fit together. Worked very well but you need to use both hands can be dangerous.

. Most of logs where fit by the log company who built the package in Colorado. But required some on site fitting. Had to build fireplace mantel and fit some logs.
