Chainsaw technology. What useful homemade products can be made from a chainsaw

The home-grown "Kulibins" are in special demand for a gasoline saw. It is used as a universal drive in the design of a home-made walk-behind tractor, and a rather powerful unit is obtained, which differs small size. To the number homemade units you can add combinations of the saw with a bicycle, winch, sawmill and other devices. Anyone can make various devices from a chainsaw with their own hands, if they follow the drawings and work accurately.

We make a motor winch

Do-it-yourself homemade chainsaws at home, videos, descriptions - let's talk about it today.

Many people living in the private sector have an old gasoline saw on the farm - Druzhba or Ural. Sometimes, when wood is being harvested, a saw brings significant benefits. The rest of the time, she just lies around doing nothing.
craftsmen managed to benefit from this by building a motorized winch and equipping it with cable-drawn tools. After such an invention, it became much easier to cultivate the land, plant and dig.
The unit weighs no more than forty kilograms, so it will not be difficult to deal with it on the land.

The tillage implement is provided with wheels, which makes it easy to move. The plow keeps itself in the furrow without the need for additional efforts on the part of the plowman. The furrow is twenty centimeters deep.

By replacing the plow with a hiller, you can use it in planting potatoes. And when harvesting, the device will also bring a lot of benefits.

Scooter with petrol engine

To create such a vehicle you will need:

• saw engine;
• chain;
• bolts, nuts for fastenings;
• commutator and accelerator from a mountain bike model;
• old scooter.

The bar part with the chain is removed from the saw, everything else remains and will be installed on the scooter platform. The clutch is unscrewed from the crankshaft. Motor power will be supplied by a bicycle chain through sprockets. We will immediately warn you that there will be two problems - it is impossible to stop the engine, and when it starts, you will have to lift the rear wheel above the ground.
We fasten sprockets to the rear axle of the scooter.

We place the motor on the platform so that its sprocket is in line with the wheel group. Having drilled holes in the saw body and scooter platform, we connect them with bolts.

Having adjusted the chain along the length, we stretch it on the stars. The accelerator, mounted on the handle, is connected by wires to the on and off wiring so that it is possible to control the supply of motor energy.

Under such a design, a base is needed that is firmly fixed so that displacement and vibration are not created.

The manufactured elements of the base are set in parallel, according to the level, which is especially important in order to avoid creating free play. This is done on concrete surface, foundation or compacted earth. The frame is fixed with bolts or studs, welded to the reinforcement of the foundation.

Now the rail base is installed, fixed to the side mounts.

The order of work can be seen on the video:

Other fixtures

You can easily and quickly make a grinder out of a saw that can work autonomously and be distinguished by high power. For such a transformation, you need in the store building materials buy the necessary nozzles that will help you transform one tool into another. To reduce the likelihood of blade breakage, the saw can be equipped with a protective cover, and the number of revolutions can be reduced with a high-speed gearbox.

A good solution is to make a portable generator unit from a saw. It will be useful for suburban area where there is no electricity. Twelve volts of power will be enough to get the illumination as from a normal flashlight.

Among the useful homemade products, you can add a motor to an inflatable boat, a motorcycle (it will require more than one saw), light aircraft.

- This is a device that is sometimes simply indispensable in the household. Speed, high performance, ease of use are just a few of the advantages of this device.

However, not all consumers know that the use of a chainsaw is not limited solely to working with wood, and many of its structural parts are so functional that it becomes possible to build completely new mechanisms that are completely different from the original design of a gasoline machine.

This is due, first of all, to the design characteristics of the chainsaw: its engine is reliable and unpretentious, and fuel leakage is almost completely excluded. About what can be made from a chainsaw, then we will discuss.

Features of creating a motor drill from a gasoline saw

In order to make a motor drill with your own hands from a chainsaw, first you need to adjust the engine speed, since maximum performance is not required for comfortable and safe operation.

An element such as a gearbox, which needs to be fastened to the chainsaw engine, can cope with this task. At this stage, it is important to think over the fastening system so that the parts of the future structure are tightly connected to each other.

In order for the device to work reliably, the drill and knives for it must be selected so that these parts coincide in rotation with the "native" mechanism.

Motor drill from a chainsaw. The video demonstrates the use of the tool as an ice drill.

Chainsaw scooter device

With the help of a chainsaw engine, you can assemble not only devices for manual use, but also a full-fledged vehicle that runs on combustible fuel. One of these structures is homemade scooter with a chainsaw engine.

To create this device, you need a regular scooter equipped with a handbrake system and inflatable wheels. The motor from the saw must be mounted on the rear platform of the scooter and make sure that the line of stars of the motor and the rear wheel matches.

To control the level of power supply on such a scooter, the hand accelerator must be connected to the wires responsible for turning the chainsaw motor on and off. In case of difficulties, it is allowed to install a special pedal.

A bicycle with a chainsaw engine, the so-called moped. The principle of using the engine is the same as that of the scooter.

How to mount a sawmill from a chainsaw?

One of the devices where the structural parts of a chainsaw are used to work with wood, not only for the purpose of cutting it, is a sawmill, with which you can cut beams of the desired diameter with high quality.

Homemade chainsaws have been around for many years main theme for local craftsmen. The devices created by them help facilitate many household chores. In addition, they save the family budget.

Generator

For manufacturing, a chainsaw with a 2-stroke engine with a capacity of 2-3 liters is suitable. With. Electric motors from old ones are often used as an electric generator. washing machines. The combination of these devices allows you to get an electric current with a voltage of 220 V at the output. The power of such a gas generator is enough for lighting, power electrical appliances and tools, household appliances.

Order of operations:

1. A bracket is made and an electric motor is attached to it. The resulting structure is installed at the outer end of the chainsaw tire. At the same time, they provide:
   • perpendicularity of the motor axis to the tire plane;
   • the location of the pulleys of both devices in the same plane.
2. The output shafts of the engines are provided with pulleys of a suitable diameter.
3. They put a belt drive on the pulleys.
4. A device for regulating the speed of a chainsaw motor is made. A bolt is used, which is attached to the handle of the latter with a clamp. Twisting it leads to an increase in the number of revolutions, twisting - to a decrease.
5. The external starting winding of the electric motor is supplied with 2 capacitors, which are rated for a voltage of 400-450 V and have a total capacitance of 10 microfarads. Their connection is parallel.

Winch

The mechanism is designed for horizontal movement or lifting of goods to a height. It does not depend on the availability of electricity, it can be used outdoors, in hiking trips.

In order for it to have sufficient traction, you will need a Druzhba, Ural or other brand chainsaw.

A prerequisite for this is that the power of the do-it-yourself chainsaw winch engine should not be less than 2.5 kW.

An important element of the device is the drum - it is made independently or used from manual winch. In addition, you will need:

• gearbox to reduce the speed of the chainsaw;
• metal pipes or profiles, lever, cam clamps, clamps.

Winch manufacturing procedure:

1. A rigid frame is made of pipes. Use welding.
2. A chainsaw motor is attached to it. A gearbox is connected to it with clamps, and a drum is connected to the output shaft of the latter.
3. A lever equipped with cam clamps connected to the drum shaft is installed. This control element allows you to control the workflow: when the lever is moved in one direction, the rotation of the drum is turned on, in the other direction, it stops.
4. They make an anchor with which the winch will be fixed in the soil or cling to some fixed object. Use pointed corners that are welded or hinged to the frame.
5. A cable is wound around the drum, the free end of which is provided with a hook. It is used to capture, attach to a load that needs to be moved.

Boer

The device is available in 2 versions. Do-it-yourself chainsaw drills are made for the ground or for drilling ice. In the first case, the device facilitates the construction of deep pits for poles, fence supports, and other structures. In the second, it helps fishermen drill holes in winter. They differ in the drill used.

The design of the gas drill involves the connection into one piece of the finished drill and the engine of the chainsaw. To make a motor drill from a chainsaw, the latter must have a high-power motor - at least 2 liters. With. In addition, you will need:

1. Reducer. This important element devices. It is necessary to reduce the speed of the saw motor, because with a fast rotation of the drill, there may not be enough engine power, and it is difficult to work under such conditions.
2. Bulgarian.
3. Metal pipe.
4. Drill.
5. Welding machine.

Drill assembly sequence:

1. Two rectangular frames are made from a metal pipe. The size of one is 45x35 cm, the second is 10x10 cm.
2. They connect the frames to each other, placing them parallel to each other at a distance of 30 cm. They do this with the same pieces of a metal pipe, welding them adjacent corners framework.
3. Inside the resulting truncated pyramid, a gearbox is attached to the smaller frame.
4. According to the scheme for collecting the drill, a motor is installed on top, connecting it to the gearbox with a short shaft (pre-made). The handle, which regulates the supply of fuel, is brought to the upper large frame. It also has an emergency engine shutdown system.
5. Connect, using a piece of pipe, to the output shaft of the gearbox drill. Parts are connected with dowels or studs.

Cultivator

The device simplifies the processing of the garden, beds. If they are of a small area, a do-it-yourself chainsaw cultivator has an advantage over branded products - it will save money on the purchase.

Making a homemade cultivator from a chainsaw starts with a frame. It is made in the form of a cube using 32x32 corners. An engine is attached to the transverse upper corners, which must have a power of at least 4 liters. With. Below it, a fuel tank is mounted on brackets. front vertical racks provide supports for the intermediate shaft, which are attached to the longitudinal corners.

This arrangement of nodes and elements allows you to get the center of gravity of the walk-behind tractor above the wheel bearing surface. If necessary, its adjustments use a metal load, which is placed in front of the frame.

For manual control install the crossbars using pipes with a diameter of 30 mm. For the wheels of a cultivator from a chainsaw, rubber-coated rollers are used, and a chain drive is used to rotate the intermediate shaft. To do this, sprockets are installed on it and the output shaft of the engine. Their size is selected according to the required gear ratio.

Compressor

The craft consists in using an air blower from some device and using a chainsaw motor as its drive. If it is from an air conditioner, then you can make a device for quickly pumping up the wheels of a car.

The procedure for manufacturing a compressor from a chainsaw:

1. Make a mounting plate from sheet metal. On the one hand, 2 holes are drilled through which it is attached to the chainsaw instead of the tire. On the other hand, they place the compressor.
2. A coupling and a pulley are installed on the blower drive shaft.
3. The second pulley is located on the output shaft of the saw motor.
4. A belt is put on the pulleys to transmit rotation.
5. The inlet pipe of the supercharger is supplied with an automobile oil filter with oil residue. Air is sucked in through it with oil particles, which reduces compressor overheating during operation.

To start the device, turn on the chainsaw motor. When it picks up speed, the coupling is activated, the supercharger starts to work. A hose is connected to its outlet pipe, through which the wheels of the car are pumped up.

Mower

Most often, a do-it-yourself lawn mower from a chainsaw is made of a rotary type. It looks like a small trolley on which all units and parts are mounted. Make it welded using metal pipes or strips. Wheels are installed from below, the size of which should allow the device to move easily on any surface.

There are options for do-it-yourself mowers from a chainsaw, equipped with 2, 3 or 4 wheels. A 2-wheel chainsaw lawn mower has better maneuverability, so it has become more widespread. A special casing is arranged in it, which prevents the working unit from coming into contact with the ground.

To make a lawn mower, the steering wheel and tire are first dismantled from the chainsaw. The motor on the frame is positioned so that the shaft is at the bottom. The trolley is equipped with handles made from pipes. They attach the steering wheel of a chainsaw, lengthen the cable that controls the carburetor throttle.

1. First, a piece of pipe 80 cm long and 50 mm in diameter is welded to the motor sprocket.
2. Inside it, another pipe is placed, which is 8 mm smaller than the first in diameter.
3. The pipes are connected to each other with M6 bolts. The tubular design allows you to adjust the cutting height of the grass.
4. At the end of a wide pipe, a metal disk 4 mm thick and 18 cm in diameter is welded.
5. Knife blades made from an old hacksaw are attached to the disk. Their width is 3 cm, length is 12. The connection is made loosely with M6 bolts, which helps to protect the blades from breakage when they meet with stones.

Circular

There are two sawmill options. They differ in the vertical or horizontal arrangement of the working tool.

The device with a vertical position of the chainsaw contains:

1. A guide that is made from a section of a channel or a rectangular shaped pipe. Its length should be greater than the size of the processed logs.
2. Sled. For manufacturing, 2 segments (40 cm each) of a 50x50 corner are used. They are welded at the ends of the upper shelves perpendicular to 2 metal strips 3 mm thick. The distance between the inner surfaces of the vertical shelves of the corners must correspond to the size of the channel or pipe.

1. In the middle of each of the corners, identical vertical plates with coaxial holes are welded on top.
2. A steel rod is inserted into them, attached by welding perpendicular to the chainsaw tire. Pipe segments are placed on the rod on both sides of one of the vertical corners. The latter are fixed with M8 bolts through the corresponding threaded holes. They serve to set the thickness of the resulting boards.

To operate the circular:

1. A guide is placed on top of the log and fastened to it with self-tapping screws with countersunk heads.
2. Installed on the guide rail.
3. They turn on the chainsaw engine and move it along with the sled along the log.

Car

Can be made from chainsaws different variants machines. One of them is a buggy kart, which is distinguished by the presence of a suspension in the design. It makes driving more comfortable off-road.

The process of creating such homemade car difficult. This is especially true of the frame, which is welded from metal or profile pipes according to pre-drawn drawings. Then they are engaged in the manufacture of suspension, steering parts.

Buggy making operations include:

• suspension assembly;
• installation of the steering wheel, rods and launcher;
• wheel fastening;
• brake placement;
• installation of the driver's seat;
• engine frame mount.

You can transfer rotation from the motor to the wheels with a chain or belt. In the first version, sprockets are installed, in the second, pulleys. The engine is equipped with a silencer to reduce noise.

Kick scooter

For improvement, a scooter is better suited, which has inflatable wheels and a handbrake. The first allows him to move over bumps, the second - provides high stopping power.

Perform work in the following sequence:

1. The chainsaw is removed from the chain, the tire.
2. Unscrew the centrifugal clutch from the crankshaft.
3. Asterisks from a bicycle are attached to the output shaft of the engine and the axle of the rear wheel of the scooter.
4. The motor is placed on the back of the platform of the scooter. Connect them with bolts. Both sprockets must be in the same plane.
5. Put on stars bicycle chain, customize it by removing extra links.
6. Attach the accelerator to one of the handles of the scooter. Connect it to the wires that turn on / off the motor. Instead of an accelerator, you can install a small pedal.

Helicopter

Such a homemade product is complex and therefore has not been implemented in life today. She is in the dreams of enthusiasts, in invented stories. One of them claims that back in the USSR, a prisoner versed in mechanics made a helicopter with a chainsaw engine and was able to escape from the colony.

Manufacturing homemade helicopter requires, unlike a snowmobile, outboard motor, bicycle, grinder and even a snow blower, more complex engineering calculations. They also show that one, even powerful, engine is not capable of lifting such an aircraft into the air. At least 4 motors are required, moreover, forced and working in concert at the maximum possible speed. And it is difficult to implement this with engines from chainsaws in practice.

Remember the famous movie with the brutal Mel Gibson? In a post-apocalyptic world, people fight for water, fighting with incredible vehicles and using homemade mechanics to survive. You can bet that most of this was running on gasoline engines, because they are the only fully autonomous equipment. And in real world this tool is in the arsenal of almost any 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 devices for the economy on the basis of Druzhba or Ural.

Do not rush to get rid of the "old woman" chainsaw, it will still come in handy!

Survival ideas: what you can do with your own hands from an ordinary chainsaw

This tool is convenient in that it does not depend on a current source. You can work with it away from home. If you suddenly need a pump, a generator, a snow blower or an ice ax - a chainsaw will become the heart of any homemade machine. So you will not only save money, but also get a really powerful and reliable technology. Based on a gasoline engine of 4-8 liters. With. you can build a home sawmill, a snowmobile sled, a generator for lighting, and even a cultivator. Consider the most popular homemade chainsaws and their manufacturing technologies.

Powerful chainsaw snow blower

Owners of a suburban area rarely enjoy heavy snowfall. At such a time, they have one main concern - to clear the access roads and the passage to the house, remove the snow from the parking lot for the car and make their way to the exit to the highway. Not everyone has enough time and energy to work with a shovel. Therefore, snowplows are very popular during the season.

But such a tool costs at least 30,000-35,000 rubles, and this is not affordable for everyone. What's in technical specifications is this a device? Still the same Gas engine with a capacity of 5-8 liters. With. And if this is so, then the power of the chainsaw is theoretically enough for homemade snow blower. The snowplow device is simple, pay attention to the diagram:

And now a small master class on making the device:

Image	Description of works
	For the main shaft on which the shovel will be fixed, you will need metal racks. In this case, racks from the VAZ 2110 were used. They must be welded together using a metal coupling.
	To drive, you need a star from a motorcycle. It is welded into the shaft.
	For the screw, you will need two rectangular metal sheets and spiral cuts. All this is cut out of durable metal with a thickness of at least 2 mm.
	Blades and spirals are welded in a mirror image to the shaft.
	The body of the shovel is made of metal with a thickness of at least 1 mm. The shaft is installed 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 direction of the flow can be adjusted.
	The chainring from the saw needs to be replaced with the front chainring from the motorcycle. To do this, you will have to make a 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, it remains only to install skis and a fuel tank on the structure. The entire structure as a whole will weigh no more than 35 kg, so even a fragile woman can manage it.

How the whole device will look like in the end, see in this form:

Do-it-yourself universal chainsaw snowmobile

Winter fishing or hunting is a favorite pastime of many. Without a snowmobile, you won’t get to the treasured lake, and running through the forest for game up to your waist in the snow is no pleasure. Such a “toy” costs a lot - from 80,000 rubles. And again, a chainsaw will help you out. What you need to prepare: a suitable sled with skis or tracks. The sleigh itself can be welded from steel, but better 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 impetus for the movement of a self-made self-propelled gun from a chainsaw is transmitted by caterpillars with hooks that push the sled forward. You can replace the tracks with a shovel 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.

As an engine for a chainsaw snowmobile, you can use "Friendship" or more modern models, for example, "Calm". The steering wheel will fit from an old bicycle, motor control is displayed on it, or, if possible, immediately adapt the design from a moped - everything is ready there.

The brakes on snowmobiles were invented by cowards. But in fact, with a chainsaw engine, it will not develop a dangerous speed, so just letting off the gas is enough. Do not get your hopes up, such a product will not be registered by any traffic police. So you can't drive it on the roads. But you don’t have to pay taxes and pass inspection. To ride in dark time day, do not forget to put a lantern on the structure.

Homemade sawmill from a household chainsaw

In private households, construction never stops. I rebuilt the house - conceived a gazebo, finished the gazebo - I need a garage, a fence, a barn, a dog house. And so on ad infinitum. If there is no extra money, the cheapest way is to buy a round timber and dissolve it yourself on boards right size. A home sawmill can be built from the same chainsaw.

Image	Description of works
	We replace the stock nuts with special mounts, they are bored from a hexagon.
	On the saw table metal pipe install a movable coupling with a platform for attaching the saw.
	The thickness of the board is adjustable with the help of movable racks. The higher you raise the racks, the thicker the board will be.
	It remains only to fix the saw on the movable coupling with the help of hexagons and work.

A primitive sawing device can also be made right at the site of felling trees. For work, you do not need to change the design of the unit, you just need to make a small device for a chainsaw that directs the movement of the tire. See how to do it:

Do-it-yourself chainsaw ice drill: scheme and practice

They say that without difficulty you cannot pull a fish out of a pond, but in winter I would like to limit this work by twitching a mormyshka. An avid fisherman is never limited to one hole.

But if the ice is 0.5 m thick, you will spend most of the time drilling, losing strength and mood. An ice drill will help to cope with this task quickly and effortlessly. We look at how much such a gadget costs: from 8,000 rubles. Why buy it if you have a chainsaw at hand? To make an ice drill, you need an old electric drill- we will make a drive out of it. How to make an ice drill from a chainsaw with your own hands:

Image	Description of works
	A working gearbox is required from an electric drill.
	From a part of the anchor from a drill, a bushing and a 27 head, you need to make such a tool. He will directly transmit the rotation to the drill.
	Another element must 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 with two bolts.
	This is how a gearbox mounted on a saw with a bushing looks like.
	A drill is inserted into the sleeve. In the future, a drill tube is put on it and fixed with a bolt.

Important advice! The key to successful operation and safety of the tool is the presence of a guide for the movement of the drill. Many neglect this part of the design, and as a result, the drill breaks in the first minutes of use.

How the homemade design will work is shown in the video:

Do-it-yourself motor drill from a chainsaw

The motor drill is arranged according to the same principle as the ice drill. The difference can only be in the nozzle. In earthworks, the speed of rotation of the spiral should not be too high, therefore, in homemade design it is necessary to provide for the regulation of speed and a simple shutdown.

Do-it-yourself boat motor from a chainsaw

If we compare the cost inflatable boat and motor, it turns out that the boat is at least twice cheaper. The simplest 4-horse gasoline outboard motor will cost 40,000 rubles. Expensive to say the least. But the PATRIOT PT 6220 chainsaw with a power of 4.35 liters. 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 acquiring an expensive boat engine?

Chainsaw manufacturers have long clarified all these points and quite officially release all sorts of attachments for them - from a drill to a drive with a propeller. The price of a nozzle for a boat 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 nozzle and cut firewood for the fire. Now about how a homemade drive for a boat works:

Image	Description of works
	Remove the tire and tensioner from the saw.
	The lower part of the rack with a 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 a stiffening rib is made of aluminum.
	To fix the motor on 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 recycled plastic.
	The platform with the motor is mobile, its movement is controlled by the handle. It also has power adjustment.
	The saw is installed in such a way that the sprocket fits into the clutch, and the standard bolts fix the motor on the site.
	For fastening, you will have to prepare suitable nuts, regular ones will not work.

And now the material on how this device works in practice:

How to make a moped from a bicycle and a chainsaw

This homemade Friendship chainsaw is the most popular DIY option. The one on the 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 racks.

A driven pulley is installed on the rear wheel, the engine is securely welded to the frame. How it will look like as a result in this plot:

The moped from the Druzhba chainsaw is quite powerful, so be extremely careful and do not forget about the rules of the road!

Continuing the auto theme: do-it-yourself karting from a chainsaw

Coaches 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, training karting with a walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw is quite enough to start classes.

The device of karting is primitive: frame, seat, steering wheel and, in fact, the engine. The principle of installing the engine is the same as on a moped, the only difference is in its location. Here's what it looks like:

On such a kart, children can drive without risk along a track adapted for this, and the speed will be quite decent at the same time - 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 turned off at your dacha, and not only will you be left without light, but also the heating will stop working without a pump. For your own safety net, it is better to prepare the simplest chainsaw generator in advance.

Use a bicycle gear to transfer the torque element. The saw in this case should work at minimum speed.

Here's how it works:

Chainsaw winch

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.

On sale there are ready-made nozzles - winches. They work like this:

But you can make a simple device with your own hands. You will need to make a solid metal frame to which the motor will be attached, and mount the gear shaft.

Do-it-yourself chainsaw chainsaw, or How to make a grinder: video

The petrol cutter is the same angle grinder, independent of the electric drive. Agree, the tool in the economy is necessary. To make it, you will need a knot from a grinder, a fairly powerful chainsaw, a belt and a pair of tires. How to make a 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. It is only necessary to take into account that the device is dangerous and requires a very careful approach to itself. The most common problem is a burst disc, fragments of which can cause serious injury. Therefore, to work with such a tool without protective cover is strictly prohibited.

Toy for adults: radio-controlled chainsaw car

This toy is definitely not for kids. It's hard to say what practical use you can find a radio-controlled car from a chainsaw, but its creators were hardly looking for it. For enthusiastic modellers, a full report on the device:

Homemade chainsaw "Ural"

Why is it most often possible to find information about homemade products from the Ural saw? It's simple: a powerful, but heavy and noisy saw with reliable Soviet quality was left out of work for many. She was replaced by light and comfortable models of European and Chinese production.

"Friendship" and do-it-yourself homemade products from this chainsaw

Druzhba is the progenitor of Ural, and it has become popular basis homemade for the same reason. Druzhba has a powerful two-stroke engine of 3 liters. With. The device even has a chain brake.

"Ural" and "Friendship" are distinguished by increased strength and endurance, like most engineering solutions times of the USSR. In addition, they refuel with low-octane gasoline, and this is a significant savings. The only downside to this technique is the weight.

Article

In the hands of craftsmen conventional chainsaw, originally intended for sawing wood, becomes truly multifunction device. At the same time, the breadth of its application is simply amazing in its diversity. On sale meet different kinds special nozzles that greatly expand the capabilities of chainsaws. These include the following attachments: a petrol cutter, a scorcher, a pump for pumping water, a motor, a brush cutter, a snow blower, and others. But, despite this, many craftsmen remake chainsaws on their own, using improvised materials. Do-it-yourself homemade chainsaws can be made by almost anyone who is more or less versed in technology.

The principle of rework

At the heart of almost any homemade chainsaw is its use as a universal drive that can be used for huge number various devices. The scope of their use is very wide: cutting stone and metal, pumping out water, cleaning snow, drilling wells and holes, driving, moving various objects, swimming and even flying.

Realize the potential of a chainsaw with a variety of attachments and attachments. At the heart of any alteration is the simple principle of engine power take-off: a necessary for the master device. The presence of a powerful motor, compact dimensions and relatively light weight of this tool, autonomy and the ability to work in almost extreme conditions make the possibilities truly limitless. Equally important is the practical design of the clutch, which protects the components and systems of the saw from damage and overload. A tool made from a chainsaw is distinguished by its tightness, so it can be used in almost any position.

What can be made from a chainsaw

All homemade products can be divided into 2 groups:

• most simple devices(grinder, ice drill, pump, winch, walk-behind tractor, outboard motor, bicycle, moped);
• more complex mechanisms and objects (sawmill, snow blower, snowmobile, snowmobile, power plant, helicopter, solid forged knife).

For the manufacture of all of the above devices, you can use various brands of chainsaws. When choosing them, one should take into account required power for normal operation alterations. Most often, for the manufacture of various devices, the following brands of chainsaws are used: Friendship, Calm, Ural.

The simplest homemade chainsaw

Below are various options devices made from chainsaws. Anyone can use these ideas in their household. From a chainsaw with a little additional materials can do:

Bulgarian. The main system of such a device is a bearing assembly with a shaft. At one end, a driven pulley is installed, which rotates with the help of a V-belt. On the other, a mandrel for cutting wheels is fixed. Depending on their brand, such a grinder can cut stone, metal, brick and other building materials.

ice drill. For good operation of the device, the screw speed should not be high, so it is necessary to use a gearbox made in the form of a worm or V-belt drive. Such a device can be used in the construction of a foundation from screw piles and for other earthworks.

Water transfer pump can be used for watering the garden, emergency water supply, drainage of reservoirs or flooded basements. This nozzle is a simple centrifugal pump, equipped with a bracket to attach to the saw and a pulley that drives the pump turbines.

Winch, which uses a chainsaw drive. The traction force of such a device directly depends on the power of the saw motor. Using additional block it can be increased significantly. This device equipped with such additional details as a tap-off block, hooks, belts, anchors.

Outboard motor from a chainsaw- a great alternative to buying an expensive engine. To ensure movement of 20 km / h, it is enough to install a home-made outboard motor with a gearbox (gear ratio 2: 1) and a 3-bladed propeller with a diameter of 210 mm on the boat. At the same time, fuel consumption will be only 1 liter per hour of engine operation.

Motor cultivator almost anyone can assemble from a chainsaw. This requires a transmission system (2 gears). With its help, the energy of the motor is transferred to the drive wheel, thanks to which the working mechanism is set in motion. Of course, such a cultivator is of little use for cultivating a huge field, but for personal plot its power is sufficient.

Chainsaw moped. For such a vehicle, you will need a base, for example, old bicycle. A chainsaw motor is attached to its frame. As a rule, a gear is used on such a vehicle. If a mountain bike is used for conversion, then a gearbox will be needed to control the speed of movement.

For the manufacture of the following devices, the master needs some technical knowledge and experience with various mechanisms and materials. From a chainsaw using various components, you can create the following homemade products:

Chainsaw sawmill, which can be done with metal frame. A chainsaw is rigidly attached to this frame. Workpieces can be guided along the rail track. There are other options for sawmills. So for a device designed for longitudinal sawing, you will need an adapter attached to the tire located at its base and a guide that sets the direction of movement of the adapter. The guide is installed on a board attached to the sawn log. With the help of such a sawmill, logs can be divided into 2-4 parts.

Chainsaw portable power plant is able to provide energy in any places remote from the power grid. To create it, the following components are needed: a gear reducer, a generator, a metal bar, a drive belt, a control panel. Powerful saws Druzhba and Ural are most suitable for such a device.

Homemade snow blower can be made from a saw whose power exceeds 3 kW. For it, it is necessary to mount a screw assembly with blades made of durable, but elastic material. The chain connects the motor to the screw assembly through a pair of gears. You can attach both wheels and skids to the snow blower. Any large diameter pipe can be used to throw snow.

Homemade snowmobile from a chainsaw its design is a little more complicated than a sawmill. The snowmobile consists of a frame, engine, track and steering. He also needs skids for movement. To create it on the steering wheel, you need to take out the gas and clutch. You should also consider a shock-absorbing suspension system of the carrier frame. Since the chainsaw does not have a transmission, the clutch on a homemade snowmobile is centrifugal. A poly V-belt and a chain are also used. For the steering mechanism, you can use the parts of an old bicycle. It is being redesigned so that the central axis moves the turning skis of the thrust. To enhance traction, a traction gear is installed on the caterpillar drive shaft. Engine power must be at least 5 hp.

Snowmobile from a chainsaw much easier to make than a snowmobile. A large propeller driven directly by the chainsaw's engine provides the driving force. A serious limitation on the use of such snowmobiles due to their insufficient cross-country ability is the low power of the chainsaw engine. For trips on snowy fields, an engine with a power of at least 12 hp is required.

Helicopter knapsack type from a chainsaw. Such an aircraft can take to the air only when at least four engines with a total power of 20 hp or more operating in a coordinated mode are used in its design. It will not work to make it from one chainsaw. The use of such homemade device may be life-threatening.

Can be done by people familiar with blacksmithing. To do this, first of all, the old chains are divided into pieces, which are then welded into blanks. They are heated in a furnace to 850°C. The blanks are pressed until they get rid of the voids between the links. Next, the metal is subjected to forging until the workpiece is given the required shape and strength.
