DIY Chop Saw - A Chainsaw Hack 

I hope you guys enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think I should cut with it! Thanks for watching!

Pretty cool, I always wanted a chop saw for my work, could never justify the costs I might just go looking on craigslist for a busted chainsaw with a working engine.

I can make my bed but that's about as far as it goes. Great vid!

Do it with a V belt (fan belt) and your saw can spin alternators, compressors,etc.... You will also have less harmonics that cause blade chatter etc...

Awesome idea and execution.

Best dialogue yet!

This was fun to watch. Good stuff

The nut to hold the abrasive disk, is it reverse thread to the rotation of the disk?

I must say, I like this type of video better then the rest of yours, even though it's the same as "Make It Extreme". Keep up this type.

Hi there, awesome vid. Just wanting to know what rpm is it running at please?

Careful with that one!

Turn wire speed down will make nice flat welds

I am still considering this one, I want to check out the one from Northern tool, the Ironton Portable Band Saw.Your video was a big help But, the 20% coupon doesn't work with Bauer tools so I am holding off until its on sale

Sweet job! Can I just add, from personal experience, try doing a down hand weld on those flush edges, if you pick up the pool of weld just right at the start, you can get a lovely smooth bead all the way down, and it requires little to no grinding 👍

Can I buy one of them sprockets?

becasue chainsaw wernt scare enough you had to add a big abrasive blade onto the end

cool

Great work, Thanks for uploading this video! Do you have them for sale, or would you be able to make one for me, I have the exact chainsaw?! Kind regards, Dan George

Cool video. I do prefer when you talk and explain stuff. Your knowledge and explanations are why I watch your videos as I've never been engineering minded. I like the voice overs because it breaks down ideas in a 'Mr. Wizard' demonstrative manner which makes me want to learn more. I always assumed the RU-vidrs who don't speak over their vids have non-native or lower level English accents. I would prefer they talked too or used subs, few would really care enough to complain. That or some RU-vidrs are scared of some sort of litigation but I assume a 'viewer discretion' warning would absolve them of any liability. Is there any practical scenario where this is preferable to an angle grinder? These are most commonly used for road work and rescue no? I can't recall seeing these used in a shop. Or is this for another French horror film?

Hard to control tool like that... It is dangerous

Woow amazing :D

Good job! But for what?

So. Ugly welds and why you use a different disc for the final cuttings I bet it was guttless because of the poleys relation

OMFG!!!! Finally,a guy that builds shit the way I do!My good man,you just gained a sub! +1 ;-) As far as "what" to cut? I say with your hair(NOT to be mean),but go full Gallagher,and cut a WATERMELON!!

some people just have too many fingers

👍👍👏👏👏

Clever, subscribed! If you want more subs, feel free to embed your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :-)

Not a fan of the no commentary style of video. I prefer explanations of what you are doing and why.

Hahahaha there is a reason why 14 inch chop saws are stationary. You just made an extremely dangerous 14” angle grinder. Good luck when one of those 14” abrasive discs explodes on you.

It's not DIY unless you can afford the tools you have to make the saw
