Copperman - How to make a Didgeridoo 5/8 - Hollowing Out

It would probably work though it may not last long and burn out, also depends on the wood - if the wood is hard and dense it takes more out of the grinder than if it's a softer wood i.e Yew vs Silver Birch.

Would a 750Watt angler grinder do the job ok?

Thanks for the comment. If it was completely smooth the sound would move down the bore regularly. It is the irregularity (caused originally by termites) that gives each instrument its unique sound. The uneven bore affects the way the wave of air resonates helping to create a rich multi layered harmonic sound. Many of the cheap mass produced teak didges you see on the market are drilled straight through and the sound is absolutely dreadfull and the didge useless.

why dont you want a completely smooth bore?
