Can I use an auger to grind a stump

A stump planer auger, also known as a stump auger or stump planer, is a specialized attachment designed for removing tree stumps by grinding them down into small chips or shavings. It is typically used with auger drives on equipment such as skid steers, excavators, and tractors. The stump planer auger operates by using a rotating, conical bit with cutting edges that shave away the wood as it penetrates the stump.
