Angle grinder blade to cut antlers

[Mungo]

How old is the child/children? Worth paying them a pittance to do the job?

9. Big enough to do a lot of damage in a hurry…

Angle grinder and a mask for me. I carry a battery grinder in the truck for work anyways. As others have said 1mm cutting disc goes through anything I don’t want to boil out like butter.

Recip or bone saw

Did some in the integral garage a while back with the angle grinder the smell is horrible
The wife never spoke to me for several days.

Depends on your sense of smell and how old the bone is.
Personally I can't stand the stench of fresh bone and a fast disc.....

Need to shoot something a bit bigger than a roe deer to justify buying one!

Rhino? Narwhal?

Dual purpose….cuts the Antler whilst smoking the venison imparting subtle hints of Castrol R

I’m about to move house and have a stockpile of around 40 skulls sitting in an old compost bin.

I’ve decided I want to keep the antlers, and think an angle grinder would be the quickest way to get them all off.

Could anyone suggest what type of blade would be best?

I use a multi tool when I whip them off for the dogs. Works a treat. The blades I use are good for metal, wood and plastic.

Just hand saw with something like a leatherman?

Just remember Antler dust is a carcinogenic substance when airborne and beathed in

Yes - you mentioned.

I cut antler for a living. A bandsaw is the fastest way in my opinion if you have one.

I have cut them with a grinder works OK but stinks a bit, I usually just cut them.with a bone saw that's what antler is after all.

Agree! Though mine only has a 17.5 inch blade and that works fine, in fact I have never seen a 20inch kamloc ,I must have had a sheltered childhood.

Is it that difficult to slide the compost bin into a trailer and deal with it after?
