The company’s humble beginnings set the tone for how Arbortech does business and solidified the creative process behind the invention of unique tools. In 1983, Kevin Inkster was curious about why most furniture had square edges and couldn’t find a tool other than a chainsaw to sculpt wood. He played around with ideas and tried fitting a crude disc attachment to his angle grinder. After some development and several modifications, the attachment proved to sculpt wood faster, safer and more efficiently than anything else, and others seemed to agree. This was truly the start of Arbortech, which in time led to the introduction of ‘power carving’ and other unique cutting  products and technologies.
