Thanks so much! 😄 Making your own saw is definitely a fun and rewarding project. If you decide to give it a go, let me know-I’d be happy to share some beginner tips to get you started!
The angle grinder and disc holder is absolutely brilliant. I wish I had the skill and equipment to make it. Not sure about the wood saw. A chainsaw blade does not spin at such a high speed and furthermore chain saws have a lubricating mechanism for the chain, which this modification does not have. The high rotating speed and lack of oil, I think, make this a dangerous tool. You have welded a chain saw blade to the perimeter of the disc. Should this fail and the chain section comes apart, it could cause jury. This is the problem of using tools in a way they were never designed nor intended to be used. I am all for innovation but not at the expense of safety. In the US, I believe medical expenses are horrendous compared with many other countries. I don't think we should risk injury with untried or untested electrical tools. If you buy a branded power tool and due to a manufacturing suffer a serious injury, you can seek resolution in court. Not so with a home made power tool.
You make some excellent points, and I really appreciate the detailed feedback! Safety should always come first, especially with high-speed tools like angle grinders or saws. You're absolutely right about the risks of using tools outside their intended purpose-without proper testing, it can become a real hazard. Innovation is exciting, but it's never worth compromising safety. Thanks for sharing your insights; they’re a great reminder for everyone in the DIY community!
Thank you for your gracious feedback. I have suffered injury even after investing in proper scaffold. I blacked out when coming down the ladder, fell backwards, and hit my head even though near w steps from the ground. Spent a night in the emergency room with tests and being stitched up. So accidents can happen even if careful. We have 250v mainspower, which is more dangerous than 120v in many countries. When I was a child, there were electrocutions from power tools, but with greatly increased safety (eg, double insulation and RCDs), now we never hear of people dying from electrcution. But taking old mains power motors and wiring them up without adequate protection could increase the risk of electrocution if something goes wrong, particularly if a 250v mains power. Please continue making videos. Your ideas are brilliant, but I want your viewers to ask themselves questions and think about safety. For this reason, I kept a 24v electric motor from a battery-powered lawn mower to use on a project, figuring it would be much safer than a mains power motor. Just wish I had your skills. Looked online for examples , but the only ones are industrial devices with prices to match. Thank you again.

This is so cool! I’ve always wanted to make my own saw but never knew where to start.
