INTRODUCTION
The Arbortech SpheroPlane™ is a revolutionary power carving tool, which allows
users to freehand carve spherical object s and shapes such as balls (convex
spheres) and bowls (concave spheres). The SpheroPlane™ attaches to a
standard angle grinder. The appropriate size angle grin der for this tool is:
• 115-125 mm angle grinder with M14 spindle and a maximum speed of
12,000 rpm or less.
A variable speed angle grinder is recommended for sanding f unctions to prevent
burning, but not essential.
The SpheroPlane™ patent-pending technology uses an adj ustable guide that
controls the cutting disc or sanding disc along spherical arcs. By adjusting the
height of the Guide Base, the radius of sphere is altered. This allows the user to
freehand carve spherical shapes and create c ompletely unique and aesthetically
pleasing spherical pieces of wood, wit hout the need for large and complex tools.
It is recommended that users of the SpheroPlane™ lear n the appropriate user
