Replace the fasteners with some thumbscrews, and it's an infomercial best-seller. If only it also made julienne fries...

That's birch, a fairly hard hardwood. The little guy cuts quickly!
I'll bet it takes considerably fewer watts than my HF chainsaw and
might work off my solar power system with the inverter. Hmm...

Cool! I'll have to take the old bar, chain, and sprocket from the
broken Remington 14" electric and make a new saur from them as a
backup to my 14" Harbor Fright jobber. Just TIG the sprocket onto a
spare nut from the grinder, bend a few pieces of 1/4" plate and Bob's
Yer Uncle. I think I'd want to oil the hell out of it frequently,
though. It's running faster than normal, methinks.

You'll notice the chain is loose on the bar too. But, still a good idea!

Getting hit with a broken chin would ruin your day, and maybe your
life.

So would freezing to death. I'll happily admit that I have only
several days of chainsaw experience so far in this lifetime. I don't
burn wood and stacking that heavy crap is a real pain in the back.

Maybe an extra piece of sheetmetal for a hand guard is in order, too?

Yeah, my saw throws the chain every once in a while when
it binds up a bit. That rig would just throw the chain
in the air like a frisbee or something, NOT too cool!

Also, it is running the chain WAY too fast, you could tell
he was levering the bar back and forth so as not to take
too wide a bite. It will BADLY overheat the chain and
then cook the motor.

Now, the guys who rigged a big logging chain & bar to
a small V8 engine, THAT was a chainsaw!!!! But, it took
two guys who could wrestle a Kodiak bear and win to pick
that saw up.

A 7 or 9 inch angle grinder, which is pretty clearly what he's using,
runs around 6000 RPM. Gasoline chainsaws run at 8000-12000 RPM, so the
chain speed is probably a bit lower than optimum.

I think he might have been trying to slow it down by hooking the lower
tooth into the log. It does make it cut faster, but it's not the way
to saw wood. As you say, it's hell on the motor.

I guess that blade worked fine for barn doors. Dunno 'bout mahogany.

made notching for deck railings incredibly easy, and it helps with the
end cuts on holes in plywood, and 100 other things. I'm getting one
for my sister next week, and a spare for myself. I found that concrete
board dulls any blade you try to put through it, so the extra blades
alone are worth the price: They're on sale for $14.97 with coupon.
The snobs can have their $400 Feins and $150 Makitas. I'm perfectly

I have both carbide wheels and chainsaw heads for my 4.5" grinder.

The Lancelot blade will halve a tubafore in 5 seconds flat. Dangerous

is smoother and just a bit safer.

When I lived on Mount Desert Island one of the local machine shops
made angle grinder attachments that the Hinckley yacht builders used
for shaping lead keels. It looked a lot like a tenon cutter, but about
4" diameter. This was in the late 1970s, I'm sure OSHA was not
involved.

The business end was similar to this.
