Thanks for watching. I had this edger in my shed but I don't have a need for it. So I had a better idea for it.

I did this with an older MTD edger with a 3HP B&S horizontal shaft engine, along with a dado blade stack ($1 from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore!) - it worked very well on soft woods like ligustrum and cottonwood. Never did try it on oak, but I'd bet it would eventually chew it up as well...

nice, I'll have to try some harder wood next time .

@stevepelino5986 4 месяца назад

Definitely an A plus for creativity!!!! Also I commend you on turning a machine you had little use for into something useful! Thank you for sharing

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 4 месяца назад

Yes! Thank you!

A 7 1/4 blade fits perfect. My very first video a couple years ago was putting 3 blades (7 1/4 inch) with spacers on my edger for grinding stumps 😎

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 4 месяца назад

yes I do believe I watched that one

@billsmith1770 5 месяцев назад

worked surprisingly well . many years ago i had a circular saw blade that was manufactured with only one tooth (carbide) . i believe it was enduro brand . sawing some boards on my pickup tailgate , i accidentally sawed thru the tailgate . didn't even notice till weeks later when i noticed the slot in my tailgate . didn't seem to damage the blade at all , i continued to use that same blade for years . carbide = tough .

Nice work! I love it. I have about 4 or 5 of those machines in my storage. I don’t know of anyone who uses them anymore, but maybe professional lawn care businesses. Great repurpose of an outdated machine! Take care.

I modified some mowers on my channel, by cutting the front of the deck away so I could use it as a brush mower to cut through very tall grass and thick foliage. As long as you don't stand in front of it, I'd say it's not too dangerous.

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 3 месяца назад

it's definitely an idea

@mariocestra1156 4 месяца назад

Good idea for equipment that you weren’t using. My thought and my thought only is that I would have used a skill saw making several deep cuts in both directions. I would then use an axe, maul, or sledge hammer with wedge to get rid of the pieces. But I do like your idea. Nice job.

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 4 месяца назад

🇺🇸👍 Modified edger fit with concrete cutting blade and a water jet nozzle for cooling and a 3-5 HP motor. Great for cutting asphalt and concrete slow but cheaper then renting a professional machine or paying someone to do it 👍

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 4 месяца назад

Wow! that's a great idea!

@michaelblankenship548 4 месяца назад

A couple of suggestions. Harbor Freight sells a chainsaw blade disk for an angle grinder that might just fit that arbor. I think it would do a better job than the saw blades. Another option might be to use a Dado blade. Although, that might be a bit more expensive. Honestly, I don't see this as being any more dangerous than the edger blade.

@covishen 5 месяцев назад

Somewhere an OSHA manual just caught fire. I never thought about that. For other stumps maybe you could use a cheap dado stack to make wider cuts.

I came across an edger similar to this at the local dump, and I took it home. I also have several stumps around that need to be removed. I may have to give this a try first. Thanks for the idea. Listening to the engine as it was cutting... I think you could have gone with 3 or 4 blades.

Good use for a an edger that was really bad at being an edger. Unfortunately even good edgers are not in demand as almost no one goes for a quality hard edge and just does the sad looking string trimmer edge.

I have a stihl weedeater. It stopped pumping fuel. So I got new diaphragms. And that fixed it, and it kind of ran. Wouldn’t rev up. Then next day. I go to pump it and there’s fuel in the bulb but when I pump it? The fuel went away and wouldn’t come back? Any ideas?

@tommak6516 3 месяца назад

You could have (more easily) just use your electric circular saw with a single blade installed (like normal). Cut your crisscross, etc. Or, what I have done, use a 'saws-all' type electric saw with tree trimming blade and cut it down below the surface, no crisscrosses necessary, the blade can go right into the dirt. I do applaud your doing it as an experiment, but it seems obviously impractical right from the get-go.
