  • Can I switch between the Woodworking and Restoration Packs on the same MG1000 tool?

    Yes! Both packs are designed to work with the same MG1000 tool body. You can purchase either pack separately or interchange components based on your application needs.

  • Can I use accessories from the Mini Carver or Mini Grinder Trade with the MG1000?

    In many cases, yes. Most Arbortech accessories from the Mini Carver and Mini Grinder Trade are compatible with the MG1000, though we recommend contacting Customer Service as some accessories will not work.

  • What materials can the MG1000 be used on?

    The MG1000 can be used on timber, stone, tile grout, plaster, concrete, and other construction or restoration materials depending on the accessory fitted.

  • How do I adjust speed or torque on the MG1000?

    The MG1000 delivers consistent power with optimised torque for low-speed applications, and it has a variable speed trigger for user-controlled precision.

  • My MG1000 won’t turn on – what should I check first?

    Check that the battery is fully charged and securely attached. Ensure the trigger isn’t jammed or obstructed, and inspect the tool for visible damage. If it still won't turn on, contact support.

  • My accessory is wobbling – is that normal?

    A slight vibration is normal, but excessive wobble may indicate improper installation, wear, or damage. Stop using the tool and inspect the accessory. We also have a growing library of assembly videos to help you get the most out of your MG1000.
