This power carver is ideal for delicate carving, without applying excessive force. It can be used by all carvers, regardless of age or experience and is perfect for carving all wood types. The rapid cutting action of the SGM (15,000 cuts per minute) allows the ability to do fine work like adding details as well as roughing out. Clean carving with no dust and virtually no effort is ensured. The tool is exceptionally quiet, yet very powerful due to the permanent magnet motor. It is ideal for small to medium carving projects, working on furniture, reconditioning antiques, lino cutting, delicate paint removal and working on plaster of Paris.
The ergonomic design and the light weight (only 1.5 lb) allow to control it very easily with one hand. The tool is very safe, as the reciprocating action does not start until the gouge is pressed to the wood. The housing is made of glassfiber-reinforced polyamide and features a multiple ball bearing construction in a die-cast aluminum gear housing. The tool comes with 3 razor sharp bi-metallic knives (each one U, V and flat shape) packed in a durable plastic case. The SGM also accepts a variety of Flexcut ® reciprocating chisels.
