Project Ideas
Business
Reclaimed Lumber Prep Service
Offer on-site reclaim trimming for pallets and demo wood. Use the carbide-grit wheel to safely cut through nail-heavy ends and square stock for resale. Package boards into dimensioned bundles for makers and sell online; X-LOCK quick changes reduce downtime between cut and clean steps.
Layered Sign and Decor Studio
Produce custom layered signs from plywood, MDF, and acrylic. The multi-wheel cuts both substrates, enabling small-batch production with minimal tooling. Create house numbers, logo plaques, and wedding decor with jigs and templates; the thin wheel speeds batching while expansion slots help maintain accuracy.
Flooring and Trim Micro-Services
Provide fast on-site scribing, notching, and adjustment for laminate/LVP installs and door-jamb undercuts. The wheel’s thin body and durability through the occasional nail make it ideal for retrofit cuts. Market to installers for overflow work; X-LOCK swaps keep service times short.
Retrofit Cutout Specialist
Serve electricians, plumbers, and smart-home installers with precise drywall, laminate, and plastic panel cutouts. The wheel handles mixed materials and embedded surprises, ideal for old walls. Offer same-day openings for boxes, vents, and access panels; bill per cut or per visit.
Hands-On Reuse Workshops
Host paid classes teaching pallet art and upcycling projects. Pre-fit X-LOCK grinders allow quick wheel changes and less setup time per student. Monetize via ticket sales, material kits, and finished examples, then upsell reclaimed wood bundles prepped with the same tool.
Creative
Reclaimed Wood Mosaic Wall Art
Create geometric mosaic panels from pallet boards and barn wood, cutting through nail-embedded sections without stopping. The carbide-grit edge bites through hidden fasteners, and the thin wheel body lets you make tight, fast cuts for small tiles. Use the X-LOCK quick mount to swap to a sanding disc for cleanup, then back to the multi-wheel for adjustments.
Layered Topographic Map Decor
Stack contours cut from plywood or MDF to form 3D topo maps. Print paper templates, rough-cut along the lines with the thin 0.10 in wheel, and glue up the layers. The expansion slots help keep the wheel true during long cuts, and you can also cut acrylic layers for water features since the wheel handles plastics.
Hybrid Wood–Acrylic Lanterns
Design modern lanterns with wood ribs and acrylic diffusers. The wheel’s carbide grit cuts both materials cleanly, so you can slot ribs and panels with one setup. X-LOCK tool-free changes make it easy to switch between cutting and light deburring to tune fit before assembly.
Upcycled Skateboard Deck Shelves
Turn old laminated decks into curved mini-shelves. The multi-wheel handles tough glues and composite fibers, letting you cut brackets, ends, and cable pass-throughs quickly. The thin kerf keeps cuts nimble on tight radii, and you can leave embedded hardware in place for a rugged look.
Composite Planters and Barrel Mods
Make modular planters from composite decking offcuts and convert plastic barrels into rain collectors. The wheel cuts composite boards and HDPE drums smoothly, so you can add access ports, spigots, and interlocking corners without changing tools.
