I'm assuming some kind of cheap unknownium but I hadn't considered plastic. The details claim titanium and carbide steel.I've got a similar thing for trimming feet.
That one is so cheap I'd be surprised if it is much good but who knows?
Hard to tell from the photo but it looks Plastic?
I was wondering whether I could use it to attack an oak tree stump that has been getting in the way of my lawn mower for the last 10 years.ive got one, courtesy of my father who absolutely must buy every new thing he sees...used it a few times but to be honest im not into wood working in the slightest so it was just to shave some clearance into stuff...one thing to note...they are grippy...keep a firm hold of it or it will run away and take you with it...tht said, they do remove a fair bit of material, better than i expected. mine must be a bit off balance though as it has a very slight vibration that makes your fingers tingle after 10 mins use
How big is the stump? Get a picture up.I was wondering whether I could use it to attack an oak tree stump that has been getting in the way of my lawn mower for the last 10 years.
Maybe 500mm diameterHow big is the stump? Get a picture up.
If its a baby, then a sharp pickaxe will shift it quickest.
Anything larger and you will want to either hire a stump grinder, section it with careful use of a chainsaw, or winch it out with some other very solid anchor point.

The tiny angle grinder attachement will take forever. A high risk of kickback with not being very far from the cutter - theres often metal, stones, fenching bits and rubbish around and in a stump.
The rasp style teeth will be slow. They do make them with large carbide teeth, it could possibly work on the end of a 52cc brushcutter but would still be slow work!
Drill some air holes and burn it, is another option.
there'as a carbide tipped chain for cutting brick work....should be good for ur stump....
as for the wood rasp....Lidil had here a few weeks ago.....

Problem is it's on a sliver of ground between a wall and hedge that means the mower has to go over to get to another part of the garden.Keep mowing around the stump and put a gnome on it.
Looks good but not the cheap option I was hoping for.Google cluster blades, they are made for this type of work. They self sharpen by reversing/flipping the blade, you can get small ones for angle grinders. We use them for cutting out roots and cutting used sleepers. They can handle dirt and stones.

Are you sure you couldn't make a cup shaped hollow in the middle of it? Put some "fuel" in the cup and light it? Surely this would burn it out from the middle, might take a number of goes I think?Problem is it's on a sliver of ground between a wall and hedge that means the mower has to go over to get to another part of the garden.

Masonry chainsaws are usually used by firefighters over here or mounted on a jig to cut dividing walls before moving them somewhere elseMasonry chainsaws are usually diamond tipped. We used to have them at work but we banned them after a guy on a rival company got a kick-back that sent the chain into his face.
Maybe, but very close to my hedge and the opposite side is my neighbours timber shed and a patio.Are you sure you couldn't make a cup shaped hollow in the middle of it? Put some "fuel" in the cup and light it? Surely this would burn it out from the middle, might take a number of goes I think?
Its a shame to ban a tool because it was being used wrong, dangerous kickback is very much from incorrect use.Masonry chainsaws are usually diamond tipped. We used to have them at work but we banned them after a guy on a rival company got a kick-back that sent the chain into his face.
