In addition to the grinder, the chainsaw is also a favorite tool for craftsmen for making homemade items. Different high power and complete autonomy in operation (no electricity required), the chainsaw is great for making vehicles, machine tools, and other equipment.
This article from a construction magazine talks about what can be made from a chainsaw, no matter which one, Ural, Druzhba or Taiga. These homemade ideas were collected on the Internet; they are incredibly popular among craftsmen.
Chainsaw - very handy tool for making homemade products. By adapting it to a special platform with wheels and connecting the chain to the shaft on which the blades will be installed, you can get a powerful lawn mower. By the way, in order not to bother for a long time, you can install a sprocket from the rear wheel of a bicycle on the shaft. 
In addition, a chainsaw can be used to make an excellent sawmill, since reworking this tool, in this case, is also reduced to a minimum. 
In general, all homemade chainsaws can be divided into two large groups:
- The first group includes those homemade products, in the manufacture of which there is practically no need to disassemble and modernize the chainsaw;
- The second group of homemade products includes all kinds of equipment: snowplows, mopeds, snowmobiles, ATVs, etc. In other words, complex mechanical devices, for the manufacture of which you will have to radically disassemble a chainsaw, make a water or air system cooling, in general, completely change this gasoline tool.
Let's look at what can be made from a chainsaw, which will definitely come in handy in the household. 
So, for example, based on the Druzhba chainsaw you can make the following homemade products:
- Powerful boat engine;
- Gasoline grinder;
- Sawmill;
- Motor cultivator;
- Lawnmower.
When it comes to car homemade products, then from almost any chainsaw you can make: 
- Moped, if you install a chainsaw on a bicycle;
- Snowmobile and snowmobile;
- Snow blower;
- Quad bike;
- Scooter.
Of course, the second group of homemade chainsaws requires a thorough approach and a complete study of the design. 
Also, you will need to purchase everything necessary materials, and in some cases, you can’t do without a welding machine.
The easiest to make is a homemade sawmill from a Ural, Taiga or Druzhba chainsaw. The essence of the work homemade sawmill lies in the fact that there is one large guide along which the chainsaw moves back and forth on a movable sled. 
As a guide, you can use a rail or several long but even metal corners. The platform on which the chainsaw will subsequently be attached is made of a piece of thick steel, the thickness of which must be at least 5 mm.
The moving part of the sawmill deserves special attention, the one through which the platform moves along the guide. Here you can use a metal pipe with a rubberized surface as rollers. It is very important that the width of the moving part matches the width of the guide. 
As you can see in the photo, a log located next to the sawmill is quite easily cut into several parts using a chainsaw moving along a guide. Thus, you can save a lot on the purchase of a sawmill, and, as you can see, the chainsaw practically does not need to be altered, disassembled, etc. in any way.
As mentioned above, you can use a chainsaw to make various homemade products for your home and garden. Some of these homemade products are a mower and a walk-behind tractor. With a mower made from a chainsaw, things are not as difficult as with a walk-behind tractor, for the manufacture of which you will have to weld a metal frame, and then fit two wheels on the side to it. 
The principle of making a walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw is to use several sprockets that could transmit rotating force to the knives. For these purposes, the sprockets are located on the sides of a metal shaft on which several knives are welded. 
A homemade walk-behind tractor from a Ural or Druzhba chainsaw will become a real helper for those who have a fairly large garden. Perhaps such a walk-behind tractor will not be very powerful, but it will be quite enough to solve the main task of cultivating the land.

Craftsmen do not always use a chainsaw for its intended purpose; it usually serves as a powerful drive in various mechanisms. The ingenuity of our craftsmen has given rise to numerous and very diverse homemade chainsaws, surprising in their originality.
The advantage of a chainsaw as a drive is its compactness, low weight and high power. Any craftsman who is capable of turning a part can perform metalwork, use a grinder and a welding machine, and can make interesting designs based on a chainsaw.
In order for a device driven by a chainsaw to function as it should, accuracy in the dimensions of parts and care during assembly are required. So, knowledge of the basics of drawing and designing mechanisms will be useful in this matter.
What homemade chainsaw products have already been invented?
The first use of a chainsaw from the point of view of many developers is to cut logs into beams with its help. But, if you hold the chainsaw suspended manually, the cutting accuracy suffers, especially when the beam is four to six meters long. So that the cut does not go away from desired line aside, we came up with the idea of rigidly mounting the chainsaw in a frame that moves along guides.
In such a sawmill, the log lies motionless, and the carriage with the chainsaw is located at the required height, depending on the desired thickness of the beam, and is fixed with four screws.
Thanks to the precise movement of the frame, a smooth and neat cut is obtained. You can cut boards in the same way, but due to the large thickness of the cutting chain you will end up with a lot of waste.
Chainsaw-winter transport
They managed to use a chainsaw as an engine for a homemade snowmobile. Here the design is much more complex than a sawmill. In this case, in addition to manufacturing the snowmobile frame, you will need to make a suspension with shock absorbers, and connect the gas and clutch controls to the steering wheel.
In addition, you will need to find the drawings (or design it yourself) according to which the snowmobile track will be made, and think about the transmission of torque from the chainsaw to the track. They put it on a snowmobile like this centrifugal clutch with a chain and a V-belt (after all, the chainsaw does not have its own transmission). In order to increase traction, a gear with a diameter larger than the chainsaw drive sprocket (the so-called “traction gear”) is installed on the track drive shaft.
For the steering mechanism, as a rule, they take the steering wheel from a scooter and bicycle and easily modify it so that it turns the snowmobile skis. Such transport requires an engine with a power of at least five horsepower, so if you are making a snowmobile, then use a Ural chainsaw.
If we consider transport for the winter, then the design of a snowmobile is much simpler. In them, a large screw is attached directly to the shaft of the chainsaw mounted at the back, which is the propeller. Is it true low power chainsaws limit the cross-country ability of such sleds to ice on a river or a compacted road. For racing on snowy fields, you need an engine of at least 12 horsepower. The same restrictions do not allow you to add a backpack helicopter to homemade chainsaws. Unless you use two engines and the master manages to make them work in harmony.
Homemade chainsaw - the engine is large
It cannot be said that such a design will be of much use, but many people make such a unique vehicle simply to test themselves and show others their skill as a designer and mechanic.
The basis is an old bicycle, which you wouldn’t mind, and the well-known Druzhba chainsaw. The transmission of force to the wheel is carried out using a bicycle chain and a gear pair.
Sometimes they take a mountain bike, and install a variator transmission and gearbox between the chainsaw and the wheel (to move slowly but confidently, you need gear ratio 18:1). This “advanced” model is equipped with shock absorbers and brakes.
Boat engine
This design is simple to implement; a boat motor does not need a transmission; you just need to machine an adapter that will transmit torque from the saw drive gear to a standard boat propeller shaft and propeller.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMRogHwQsck
Usually, either homemade engine they are mounted on the boat so that the propeller shaft is immersed in the water at a slight angle, or they are not too lazy to assemble a gearbox that transmits the rotation of the shaft at a right angle to the propeller.
Motor cultivator made from a chainsaw
Many people have managed to make a simple motor cultivator out of a chainsaw, in which a pair of gears increases the traction force of the engine and transmits it to the drive wheel. You must understand that the insufficient power of the saw engine will not allow you to make a real walk-behind tractor in this way.
Resourceful craftsmen show their talents in designing snow removal equipment. There are known models based on the three-watt Calm chainsaw, which is installed, for simplicity of design, on sled runners. The main thing is to make a high-quality auger assembly and select a gear pair, and the chain saw engine doesn’t care what to rotate.
For such a snowblower, galvanized steel is used to make an intake device, blades are made from corded, thick rubber, and a regular sewer plastic pipe will serve as a snow thrower.
Chainsaw based helicopter
Although many inventors are looking for ways to make a small single-seat helicopter based on a chainsaw, its power is still not enough to fly. As engineering calculations have shown, a mini-helicopter requires at least four high-powered chainsaws, working in concert and with an increased number of revolutions.
A motor drill made from a chainsaw will greatly facilitate the installation of the foundation on screw piles, installing a fence or drilling holes for winter fishing. Just keep in mind that the chainsaw engine must be connected to the ice ax auger through a reduction gearbox (worm gear).
Chainsaw winch
Using a chainsaw, it is easy to make a winch with a force of up to one and a half tons. Such a device will help lift a massive load to a height, remove a cut tree, pull a boat ashore or a stuck car onto the road.
A small gasoline power station is useful in the household. A generator, a Druzhba or Ural chainsaw is mounted on a durable frame and connected to the gearbox. A pulley is attached to the gearbox shaft, from which a cord belt transmits rotation to the generator, which will provide household electricity in the event of a power outage or absence.
So, although this instrument itself is familiar to everyone and its purpose seems unambiguous, craftsmen come up with many interesting designs. As you can see, homemade chainsaws are very diverse (some enthusiasts even manage to forge a knife from an old chain).
The talents of home craftsmen have led to the emergence of a large variety of equipment powered by a chainsaw.
Traditionally, a gasoline saw is used to cut wood. However, in times of total shortage, craftsmen adapted to using it as a drive for other machines and mechanisms. Anyone who understands mechanics and knows how to hold a tool in their hands can make homemade chainsaws. In this way, you can build an interesting and useful device in everyday life.
Useful items from a chainsaw
Here everything depends on the imagination of the master. From a chainsaw you can make:
- snowmobile;
- motorized towing vehicle;
- motorbike (moped);
- motor cultivator;
- lawnmower;
- motor drill;
- outboard motor;
- snow blower
A snowmobile is very simply made on the basis of a small bicycle. A ski is placed at the front, and a pair of ultra-low pressure wheels are placed at the rear on a solid axle. This homemade saw “Druzhba” or “Ural” will run quite briskly on ice or compacted snow.
For deeper, loose snow, this model of snowmobile is unsuitable; the power of the saw engine is not enough. A snowmobile that uses a caterpillar as a propulsion device is more versatile. The simplest caterpillar is assembled from a conveyor belt. The role of hooks is performed by flat wooden slats, attached to the tape. Because of this, such snowmobiles are traditionally called “stick insects.”
The same principle is used in the construction of motorized towing vehicles (motorized dogs). This option is even preferable to a regular snowmobile, since this homemade Ural chainsaw allows you to move even on loose snow. In addition to the engine, a motorized towing vehicle or snowmobile must be equipped with a gearbox to reduce the speed while simultaneously increasing the torque.
The easiest way to make a bicycle with a chainsaw motor is to make it yourself. Any frame bike will do this. The throttle control cable is routed to the steering wheel. Chainsaw and bicycle chains have the same links, so no special gears are required. Torque can be directly transmitted to the rear wheel of the bicycle. You just need to put a sprocket with an increased number of teeth on the rear wheel to increase the gear ratio and increase power. At the same time, the speed will drop. This is good because a regular bicycle is not designed to ride at speeds greater than 20 kilometers per hour.
A motor cultivator can also be made using a chainsaw as a drive. However, the power of a walk-behind tractor made from a chainsaw is small, and is widely used in agriculture he does not have. It is unrealistic to plow virgin soil with such a device, but digging furrows for planting potatoes is quite possible.
The lawnmower is also quite easy to assemble. The basis is a conventional four-wheeled hand cart. A chainsaw engine is mounted on top of it. The torque is transmitted to a rigid shaft, the second end of which is brought out under the bottom of the cart. There, either a metal knife or a block with fishing line from a trimmer is attached to it.
To make a motorized drill, you will need a small worm gear and an auger from a fishing ice drill. With this device you can drill without effort a large number of holes on the river in winter. If you plan to use the drill to drill holes in the ground, the auger and nozzle will have to be strengthened.
To build a homemade boat motor from a chainsaw, you do not need a gearbox. You just need to weld a frame with two clamps for mounting on the transom of the boat and install the propeller on the shaft. Those who have made homemade products from a trimmer with their own hands can easily make a boat motor from a chainsaw.
You can construct a simple snow blower from a chainsaw. To do this, you need to install the saw on the runners of the sled and add a homemade auger assembly. A guide for folding snow can be made from a regular sewer pipe.
The power unit from the saw can even be installed on a scooter.
Our hands are not for boredom
The Druzhba chainsaw is optimally used as an engine and drive for the following devices:
- generator;
- water pump;
- sawmills;
- circulars;
- Bulgarians.
The simplest belt drive from a chainsaw to a car generator will provide electric light to a country house or cottage. In the same way you can connect it to centrifugal pump to pump water out of the basement.
By adding a worm gear to the chainsaw, you can easily construct a simple winch.
A similarity can be easily constructed from a chainsaw band sawmill , where instead of a tape, a carriage with a saw attached to it will move. This design will allow you to dissolve the tree trunk onto the timber yourself. Theoretically, it is possible to saw boards, but due to the wide cut there will be large losses.
Technology on the verge of fantasy
For a long time in the Soviet Union there was a story about a prisoner who was able to fly out of the zone on a homemade helicopter made from a chainsaw. In fact, this is just a beautiful legend, although it also has real scientific developments.
In 1971, a group of students from the Moscow Aviation Institute presented a new unusual development to the academic council. It was a flying single-seat platform with eight engines from the Druzhba chainsaw., synchronized in one block. Prototypes of these developments have been repeatedly shown at various exhibitions. Despite this, such models were never produced commercially.
The dream of heaven for those who like to construct something from chainsaws remains a dream for now. However, attempts to make a backpack single-seat helicopter using engines from the Ural or Druzhba do not stop.
Do-it-yourself homemade chainsaws are best option manufacturing useful units that will help quickly solve a lot of everyday household problems. To create them, you can use scrap materials and old working equipment, which makes it possible to save a considerable amount of money and, at the same time, find a use for accumulated devices.
What can you make from a chainsaw with your own hands?
There is a considerable list all kinds of homemade products from chainsaws, which you can build yourself at home. Each of these units will bring a lot of benefits to the household and help save the energy and time of its owner.
Homemade sawmill
To make this homemade chainsaw you will need several steel pipes, which are connected to each other by welding, the guide and the saw itself. A ready-made sawmill will help you prepare a large number of boards for repair or construction.
Snowmobile with chainsaw engine
This homemade chainsaw consists of a durable steel frame, steering wheel, movement elements, a seat and, in fact, a motor and gearbox. A homemade snowmobile can accelerate to 15 km/h and can support 1 adult passenger with small luggage.
Chainsaw moped
This homemade chainsaw is a full-fledged motorbike, which differs from modern analogues in its simplicity of design and modest fuel consumption. The finished unit with a full tank can transport one adult passenger over a distance of 5 km.
Homemade ice screw
This simple homemade product from a chainsaw allows you to quickly drill holes in the ice for winter fishing and also make holes for mounting pile foundation. In addition to the engine, to make an ice drill you will need a reduction gearbox, a durable auger mechanism and steel knives.
boat motor
This homemade chainsaw will help out during summer fishing on large lakes and rivers with strong currents. To make it you will need a screw mechanism and blades made of of stainless steel. The homemade boat motor is capable of transporting one adult passenger with a small load, reaching speeds of up to 20 km/h.

Remember famous movie with the brutal Mel Gibson? In a post-apocalyptic world, people fight for water, fighting with incredible equipment and using homemade mechanics to survive. You can bet that most of this was powered by gasoline engines, since they are the only fully autonomous equipment. And in the real world, this tool is in the arsenal of almost every summer resident. If you have a chainsaw, you will not be lost in any situation. With your own hands, using simple devices, you can make many useful household devices based on “Druzhba” or “Ural”.
Don’t rush to get rid of the “old lady” chainsaw, you will still need it!
Survival ideas: what you can do with your own hands from an ordinary chainsaw
This tool is convenient because it does not depend on the current source. You can work with it away from home. If you suddenly need a pump, a generator, a snow clearing device or an ice ax - a chainsaw will become the heart of any homemade car. This way you will not only save money, but also get really powerful and reliable technology. Based on a 4-8 liter gasoline engine. With. you can build a home sawmill, a snowmobile sled, a generator for lighting, and even a cultivator. Let's look at the most popular homemade chainsaws and their manufacturing technologies.
Powerful chainsaw snow blower
Owners suburban area They rarely enjoy heavy snowfall. At such a time, they have one main concern - to clear the driveways and passage to the house, clear the snow from the parking lot for the car and make their way to the exit to the highway. Not everyone has the strength and time to work with a shovel. That's why snow removal machines are very popular during the season.
But such a tool costs at least 30,000-35,000 rubles, and not everyone can afford it. What's in technical specifications is this a device? All the same Gas engine power 5−8 l. With. And if this is so, it means that the power of the chainsaw is theoretically sufficient for homemade snow blower. The design of the snow blower is simple, pay attention to the diagram:
And now a small master class on making the device:
| Image | Description of work |
|---|---|
 | The main shaft on which the shovel will be mounted will require metal stands. In this case, racks from a VAZ 2110 were used. They need to be welded into one piece using a metal coupling. |
 | For the drive you will need a sprocket from a motorcycle. It is welded into the shaft. |
 | For the auger you will need two rectangular sheets of metal and spiral sections. All this is cut out from durable metal thickness of at least 2 mm. |
 | The blades and spirals are welded in mirror image to the shaft. |
 | The shovel body is made of metal with a thickness of at least 1 mm. The shaft is mounted inside on automotive bearings. |
 | In the upper part of the body you need to make a hole for the snow discharge pipe. |
 | A movable cover should be installed on the snow discharge pipe so that the flow direction can be adjusted. |
 | The saw sprocket needs to be replaced with a motorcycle front sprocket. To do this you will have to bore. |
 | The engine itself must be mounted on a frame with rubber pads for shock absorption. |
 | To fix the steering wheel, you should make a strong stand from a steel pipe. |
 | The ignition and speed control system can be taken from a moped or motorcycle. |
After assembling the main part, all that remains is to install the skis and fuel tank on the structure. The entire structure as a whole will weigh no more than 35 kg, so even a fragile woman can operate it.
How the entire device will ultimately look like this:
DIY universal snowmobile made from a chainsaw
Winter fishing or hunting – favorite hobby many. You won’t get to the treasured lake without a snowmobile, and running through the forest after game in waist-deep snow is no fun. Such a “toy” costs a lot - from 80,000 rubles. And again the chainsaw will help you out. What you need to prepare: a suitable sled with skis or tracks. The sled itself can be welded from steel, or better yet aluminum corner. The lighter the design, the faster it will run. As a basis, you can take the device of a children's snow scooter on three skis according to this scheme:
The impulse for movement of a self-propelled self-propelled chainsaw is transmitted by tracks with hooks that push the sled forward. You can replace the tracks with a spatula with 7-8 blades; it is installed under the seat. The principle of installing the engine is the same as on a snowmobile - with a drive and gears from a motorcycle or moped.
You can use “Friendship” or more as an engine for a chainsaw snowmobile modern models, for example, "Calm". The steering wheel will come from an old bicycle, the motor control is output to it, or, if possible, immediately adapt the design from a moped - all the controls are ready there.
Brakes on snowmobiles were invented by cowards. But in fact, with a chainsaw engine, it will not develop dangerous speed, so you just need to let off the gas. Don’t get your hopes up, such a product will not be registered by any traffic inspectorate. So you can’t drive it on roads. But you won’t have to pay tax or undergo a technical inspection. For driving in the dark, do not forget to place a flashlight on the structure.

Homemade sawmill from a household chainsaw
In private households, construction never stops. I rebuilt the house - I planned a gazebo, finished the gazebo - I needed a garage, a fence, a shed, a doghouse. And so on ad infinitum. If you don’t have extra money, the cheapest option is to buy round timber and cut it into boards yourself the right size. A home sawmill can be built from the same chainsaw.
| Image | Description of work |
|---|---|
 | We replace the standard nuts with special fastenings, they are bored from a hexagon. |
 | On the sawing table metal pipe install a movable coupling with a platform for attaching the saw. |
 | The thickness of the board is adjustable using movable racks. The higher you raise the racks, the thicker the board will be. |
 | All that remains is to secure the saw to the movable coupling using hexagons and work. |
A primitive sawing device can also be made right at the site of tree felling. To work, you do not need to change the design of the unit; you just need to make a small device for the chainsaw that guides the movement of the tire. See how to do it:
Do-it-yourself ice drill from a chainsaw: diagram and practice
They say that you can’t pull a fish out of a pond without effort, but in winter I would like to limit this effort to twitching the jig. An avid fisherman is never limited to one hole.
But if the ice is 0.5 m thick, most you will spend time drilling, losing strength and mood. An ice drill will help you cope with this task quickly and effortlessly. Let’s see how much such a gadget costs: from 8,000 rubles. Why buy it if you have a chainsaw at hand? To make an ice screw you will need an old electric drill– we will make a drive out of it. How to make an ice screw from a chainsaw with your own hands:
| Image | Description of work |
|---|---|
 | An electric drill will require a working gearbox. |
 | You need to make such a tool from a part of an armature from a drill, a bushing and a 27 head. It will directly transmit rotation to the drill. |
 | One more element needs to be made with your own hands from a piece of metal and a pipe. This is a gearbox mount. |
 | The mounting structure is fixed to the saw using two bolts. |
 | This is what a gearbox with a bushing mounted on a saw looks like. |
 | A drill is inserted into the sleeve. In the future, a drill tube is placed on it and secured with a bolt. |
Important tip! The key to successful operation and safety of the tool is the presence of a guide for the movement of the drill. Many people neglect this part of the design, and as a result, the drill breaks within the first minutes of use.
How the homemade design will work is shown in the video:
Do-it-yourself motor drill from a chainsaw
A motor drill is designed on the same principle as an ice drill. The only difference can be in the nozzle. In earthworks, the speed of rotation of the spiral should not be too high, so in homemade design it is necessary to provide for speed control and simple shutdown.
DIY boat motor from a chainsaw
If you compare the cost inflatable boat and motor, it turns out that the boat is at least twice as cheap. The simplest gasoline outboard motor with 4 horsepower will cost 40,000 rubles. Expensive, to be sure. But the PATRIOT PT 6220 chainsaw with a power of 4.35 hp. With. – only 8,900 rubles. The power is the same, but the cost of the motor is five times cheaper! And what, tell me, is the point in purchasing an expensive boat engine?
Manufacturers of chainsaws have long clarified all these points and quite officially produce all sorts of attachments for them - from a drill to a drive with a propeller. The price of a boat attachment is 5,000−6,000 rubles. At the same time, there is no need to make significant changes to the design of the saw, which means that after fishing you can easily change the attachment and cut wood for the fire. Now about how a homemade boat drive works:
| Image | Description of work |
|---|---|
 | Remove the bar and tension device from the saw. |
 | The lower part of the stand with the screw is made of a gearbox from a drill, a cone from a lawn mower, an oil seal and the screw itself. |
 | The pipe with the stiffener is made of aluminum. |
 | To secure the motor to the transom of the boat, we use a clamp. A platform for fixing the engine is welded to it. |
 | To connect the propeller to the motor, the author of the project uses a coupling made of polyethylene resin. |
 | The platform with the motor is movable, its movement is controlled by a handle. The power control is also located on it. |
 | The saw is installed in such a way that the sprocket fits into the coupling, and standard bolts fix the motor on the platform. |
 | For fastening you will have to prepare suitable nuts; standard ones will not work. |
And now material about how this device works in practice:
How to make a moped from a bicycle and a chainsaw
This homemade chainsaw “Friendship” is the most popular of the options that you can make with your own hands. The one on a moped is always the first guy in the village, so many craftsmen start with just such a device.
Important! The design of a bicycle with a chainsaw engine must be especially durable. If this is not the case, reinforce the frame with additional posts.
A driven pulley is installed on the rear wheel, and the engine is securely welded to the frame. How it will look like as a result in this plot:
The Friendship chainsaw moped is quite powerful, so be extremely careful and don’t forget about the traffic rules!
Continuing the theme: do-it-yourself karting using a chainsaw
Trainers of young karting drivers know that more than one engine will burn out during the training process. The problem is that the child driving the car gets lost at speed. For this reason, to start training, a training go-kart with a walk-behind tractor using a chainsaw is quite enough.
The structure of a go-kart is primitive: a frame, a seat, a steering wheel and, in fact, an engine. The principle of installing the engine is the same as on a moped, the only difference is in its location. This is what it looks like:
In such a go-kart, children can race without risk on a track adapted for this purpose, and the speed will be quite decent - up to 80 km/h.
DIY chainsaw generator
Among the tools for survival in any conditions, the generator is far from the last place. What to do if the electricity suddenly goes out at your dacha, and not only will you be left without light, but the heating will stop working without a pump. To protect yourself, it is better to prepare the simplest generator from a chainsaw in advance.
Use a bicycle gear to transmit torque. In this case, the saw should operate at minimum speed.
Here's how it works:
Winch from a chainsaw
A winch is often needed on the farm: it is useful at a construction site for lifting building materials, pulling vehicles out of impassable spring mud, and in many other unforeseen situations. Again, a chainsaw will help mechanize this device.
There are ready-made attachments for sale - winches. They work this way:
But you can make a simple device with your own hands. You will need to make a strong metal frame to which the motor will be attached, and mount the gear shaft.
DIY petrol cutter from a chainsaw, or How to make an angle grinder: video
A petrol cutter is the same grinder, independent of an electric drive. Agree, a tool is necessary in the household. To make it, you will need a grinder assembly, a fairly powerful chainsaw, a belt and a pair of tires. How to make an angle grinder from a chainsaw:
The advantage of the resulting tool is that it is completely autonomous and has good power. Perhaps it surpasses in its characteristics any factory electric grinder. You just need to keep in mind that the device is dangerous and requires a very careful approach. The most common problem is a burst disc; its fragments can cause serious injury. Therefore, working with such a tool without protective casing is strictly prohibited.
Toy for adults: radio-controlled car made from a chainsaw
This toy is definitely not for children. It's hard to say which practical use you can find a radio-controlled car made from a chainsaw, but its creators are unlikely to have been looking for it. For keen modellers, a full report on the device:
Homemade chainsaw "Ural"
Why is it most often possible to find information about homemade products made from Ural saws? It's simple: a powerful, but heavy and noisy saw with reliable Soviet quality has remained out of use for many. It was replaced by light and comfortable models made in Europe and China.
“Friendship” and homemade products from this chainsaw with your own hands
“Friendship” is the ancestor of the “Ural”, and it has become a popular basis for homemade products for the same reason. “Druzhba” has a powerful 3-liter two-stroke engine. With. The device even has a chain brake.
“Ural” and “Druzhba” are distinguished by increased strength and endurance, like most engineering solutions from the times of the USSR. In addition, they are fueled with low-octane gasoline, and this is a significant saving. The only disadvantage of this technique is the weight.
