In this review, the author decided to experiment and make a home-made electric saw from a hand saw and a grinder.
The main purpose of the electric saw is to cut logs for firewood. Although, of course, a factory electric saw or chainsaw will work much more convenient and safer.
First of all, the author cuts a workpiece from the profile pipe, which will be worn on the shaft of the grinder reducer.
In this workpiece you need to drill two holes. You will also need a piece of the bolt - cut to size and make a small groove under the hat.
We insert the bolt into one of the holes in the profile, abutting the edge of the wall into the groove, and scald.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master cuts a piece of round bar and welds two nuts at the edges.
In one of the nuts, drill a thread. We put the connecting rod on the bolt, put the washer on top and weld it.
We attach the resulting assembly to the angle grinder: on the gearbox shaft, put on the workpiece from the profile, and then fix it with a quick-tightening nut.
Next, the author cuts two metal strips and fastens them to the grinder gear housing.
We cut off a piece of steel bar, weld “ears” to it and connect it to a previously made connecting rod.
After that, cut off a piece of the profile pipe, drill holes in it, weld to steel strips that are attached to the grinder.
Then the author reinforces the design by welding pieces of a square bar between two strips.
At the last stage, it remains only to make the mount for the saw blade.
We cut off two plates with “shanks”, drill two holes in them and weld to the working rod.
