Abstract
A portable fleshing tool has a thin, circular blade mounted on a drive shaft of a motor. A front and a rear guard substantially protect the blade, with the rear guard removably attachable to the housing of the motor and the front guard removably attachable to the rear guard. The front guard is slightly vertically adjustable to permit slight adjustment of the depth of a fleshing cut because the fleshing blade is being operated in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the pelt or hide being fleshed.
