I think you’d be safer with one of these

I assume he found a fix as the question was originally asked in 2009  and resurrected today!😂

 

He said he didn't want to have all of his staff to do chainsaw licences. I wonder if you got a chain made up with no cutting teeth if you would need a licence as it becomes a petrol powered planer 😂

that logosol debarker is not good as being chain drive,  compared to this Swedish built bely drive one a bit more user friendly but yet still being very agressive and getting the job done,

Arthur Cundey made two posts here 9 months before I joined and looks like got no responses, a bit of a shame as Cundey peelers featured in many yards and sawmills.

 

Back to the today’s post and those angle grinder attachments; I have not used a cutter on an angle grinder other than the arborcut chainsaw tooth thing but find a cheap £50 750 Watt electric planer with disposable blades does a safer job of removing bark off single poles where the curve means a 4" wide cut is adequate. It's a damn sight better than the sharpened spades we had to debark potential telegraph poles with.
