Does anyone have experience with a stump plane like the one in the attachment? The seem costly and I will probably never buy one.
Unlike the American buzz-saw stump grinders that turn at several hundred RPM, the vertical-axis European stump grinders turn at much lower RPMs and are unlikely to throw projectiles. Some of the videos show the augers used to grind stumps on the verge between curb and sidewalk; pedestrians walk by, and the windows of storefronts are unprotected. Any American contractor would have the sidewalk cordoned off and screens in front of any windows.I wouldn’t want to be near it when operating
