We will send the material to you by e-mail
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. Whether you need a pump, a generator, a snow blower or an ice ax, a chainsaw will be the heart of any homemade car. 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? All 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 sawing table on a metal pipe, we 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 cuts 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, it is strictly forbidden to work with such a tool without a protective casing.
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
Of course, initially the well-known Druzhba saw was designed as a unit designed for sawing firewood, felling trees and similar work. Gradually, they began to produce such nozzles for it, which to a large extent made it possible to increase its functionality. Accordingly, the popularity of the Druzhba chainsaw among the population began to grow. Craftsmen appeared who, on their own, created some improvements and additions for it. Let's just say, quite original devices were obtained.
Technical capabilities of "Friendship"
Currently, almost any garden equipment store has a very wide selection of chainsaws from many manufacturers. And there are even more such devices in online stores! In this regard, the old Soviet chainsaws are now undeservedly forgotten and are used quite rarely.
However, new devices with certain breakdowns are simply impossible to use further. This cannot be said about the good old Friendship. Many people know that after it becomes impossible to work with it for its main purpose, this chainsaw gets a second, no less bright life.
Today, homemade products from the Druzhba chainsaw are most often found in villages where real craftsmen still live. And savvy people, having this wonderful product of the domestic industry in their hands, were able to make pretty decent functional devices out of it.
It turns out that, having worked for a sufficient period of time on the felling of the forest, this chainsaw for some reason is not thrown away. It's all about the universal drive, which allows you to continue to use such saws in other devices. So, it became possible to use the Druzhba chainsaw as the basis for some other units due to:
Pretty powerful engine;
The ability of the device to withstand extreme conditions;
High autonomy of the saw;
Reasonably compact and light weight.
Chainsaw working bodies rarely fail, largely due to the clutch, which eliminates overload. This part is airtight and less prone to blockages that cause breakdowns.
What devices are made on the basis of the Druzhba saw
Given the above advantages of a chainsaw, it becomes clear how such a unit can be used in the future in almost any area of human life. For this reason, many will probably be interested in what can be done from the Druzhba chainsaw and how it can then be used in personal households. Here is a list of fairly simple devices:
Bulgarian;
boat engine;
Motoblock;
Motor cultivator;
Moped from "Friendship"
More complex devices that have been implemented on the basis of the Druzhba chainsaw include:
Helicopter;
Snowmobile;
snow blower;
Snowmobiles;
How to make the Friendship saw serve in a different form?
If you are burning with the desire to give a second life to such a saw, then some design skills and knowledge will be required from you. After all, you will have to work with a gasoline unit, and sometimes you will have to grind parts for a new device on a lathe yourself. Although a familiar turner may be involved for these purposes. Or the part can be made on a CNC machine.
It is also important to understand that modifying the saw will sometimes not bring the expected power. For example, a motor cultivator that “got” an engine from Druzhba is unlikely to be able to easily cope with a fairly large garden. But gradually with its help it will be possible to process small plot. Many craftsmen will surely be able to build such a motor cultivator in which the gear will transfer the engine energy to the drive wheel.
Chainsaw scythe
Often in the village you can still see a working mower, for which the Druzhba chainsaw was also redone. This unit at the time of haymaking is operated non-stop for a long time and has been operating for more than one season. To create such a mower, the tire is removed from the saw structure along with the drive sprocket and chain. At the same time, the saw is quickly converted to its original state and is able to easily cut a tree in winter.
If you have, as they say, even hands and a small garden plot, then it is not necessary to purchase a walk-behind tractor. After all, maintenance, and even more so, purchase, is a rather expensive business. However, if you have an old Druzhba saw or the possibility of buying it for a small amount, it is quite possible to make a walk-behind tractor with your own hands. The very principle of such an alteration is to use two sprockets as a force transmission system. Such a home-made walk-behind tractor may well be used when working on a small garden plot.
Motoblock
Everyone knows the Russian deputy, who often presents real "surprises" in the form of heavy snowfalls. If you have serious complications with snow removal during such a period, then you should think about designing a small snow plow device, the basis for which can serve as old chainsaw"Friendship". For such a snow plow, it will be necessary to design an auger mechanism. In order for it to qualitatively fulfill the duties assigned to it, the material for its manufacture must be elastic and durable. Rubber has these characteristics. Sleds can be used as the basis for moving a homemade snowplow. Dumping snow is possible when converting a water pipe with a certain bend.
Sometimes the farm requires a device such as a sawmill. Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will install such a large device on their site. In the same time mobile device, capable of quickly sawing a tree trunk to a certain size, can be quite in demand. Therefore, the sawmill from the Druzhba chainsaw was also implemented by craftsmen. There are several types of such devices. They differ mainly in terms of design.
For the sawmill from the Druzhba saw, some kind of stationary frame must be created that allows you to fix the saw itself in a certain position and set the dimensions for the cut. But there are also structures that take up very little space and you can even immediately take them with you into the forest. And already in place to dissolve the wood.
chainsaw pump
Sometimes in a country house or suburban area there is a situation with a lack of water. The reasons may be different, but a chainsaw can also solve such a problem. To do this, you need an appropriate nozzle that will be able to pump water. Of course, using a saw for regular water supply is irrational. However, emergency water supply is quite possible to establish.
Pump attachment to the chainsaw Druzhba
Such a device can be used, for example, to pump water out of the cellar during the spring snowmelt. Sometimes it is used for watering the garden and other needs. Structurally, such a nozzle is a centrifugal pump, in which there is a bracket with holes that allow you to attach the entire device to a chainsaw. The turbine of such a pump is driven through a special pulley.
"Friendship" and fishing
Our fishermen often have remarkable imagination. Therefore, their attention was not spared by the Druzhba chainsaw. On its basis, for example, motors for boats, ice drills, etc. are made.
In order for this saw to serve as outboard motor, a special nozzle is required. This is a three-bladed propeller design that has a gearbox. Typically, its gear ratio is 2 to 1, which allows the fisherman's boat to move along the water surface at a speed of about 20 km / h. At the same time, fuel consumption of about 1 l / h is recorded.
Some fishermen for winter breakage dump and purchase a drill nozzle. Buying a motor drill together is not always rational due to some difficulties with the possibility of its collective use. It turns out to be expensive for one person to buy such a device, but the drill nozzle is a good alternative. In such a device, there must be a gearbox in the form of a worm or V-belt drive, which will reduce the number of revolutions of the saw engine for normal operation nozzles.
When traveling for fishing or hunting, it can be useful to equip your vehicle with a special winch, for which the Druzhba saw can also act as a power unit. If the unit itself is not very powerful, then it will be possible to purchase a diversion unit, which will increase power, change the trajectory of the pulled vehicle.
At all times there were "Kulibins" who could make something truly innovative and useful out of ordinary things. In the event that there are no ideas in your head, and the desire to do something with your own hands does not give rest, then you can start with the already existing and proven developments. Do-it-yourself homemade chainsaws are perfect for this. Especially for those who are not used to sitting idly by, our editors have prepared a review with detailed photos and video instructions on how and what you can make from an old chainsaw.

What and how can be made from a chainsaw with your own hands
The chainsaw is a versatile machine. The size of the tool is small, but the power of the motor allows you to use it for almost any purpose. The "Rotor Heart" will feel great when transplanted into an ice ax or any other device where an autonomous drive is needed. Let's take a closer look at some know-how.
How to make a snow blower from a chainsaw
If you have a chainsaw and parts from an old car, then you can start designing. Typically, a rotary drive is used to drive the screw. This is a special shaft designed in a special way to collect snow.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | As the main shaft, we use rods from the front pillars of the VAZ 2110, welded together. |
 | To connect the joints, we use just such a coupling. |
 | These are sheets for welding auger blades. Size - 140 × 100 mm, traditional thickness - 2 mm. |
 | For the drive, you can adapt a star from the Voskhod motorcycle. The back of the part is welded with a prepared 5 mm metal disc. With a hole made for the diameter of the shaft. |
 | This is what the details looked like before. |
 | We make the blades of the auger from a metal sheet of 2 mm. To do this, a circle is cut out on the outside with a diameter of 300 mm, and inside - 220 mm, and stretched from the star to the shoulder blade. |
 | We cook the frame from the same "two" and bearing strips with a radius of 160 mm. |
 | We bend the body from a sheet of 1 mm. We weld with sidewalls. |
 | This is the screw we ended up with. |
 | The diameter of the hole for the "ejector" of snow is 160 mm. For rotary mechanism you can use a plastic pipe. |
 | But the gutter itself is best made from a galvanized sheet of 0.75 mm. |
 | We remove everything superfluous from the saw, clean it, paint it black. We disassemble the saw star. |
 | We clean all the details, center, weld the star from the Java motorcycle. |
 | The chainsaw engine is laid on rubber cushions. |
 | We put the frame for mounting the motor on the shock absorbers. |
 | We paint the whole structure and do a test run. Everything works! |
Do-it-yourself chainsaw snowmobile
To make a homemade snowmobile from a chainsaw, you will need some factory-made parts (for example, a gas cable to the steering wheel) and a children's snow scooter.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | To create a snowmobile from the Druzhba-4 chainsaw, we need a children's snow scooter. |
 | To create a caterpillar, take 25 polypropylene pipe, cut off by 20 cm, cut in half lengthwise. |
 | As a tape for a caterpillar, you can take old tire from a car tire. |
 | In our work we use sprockets of the MHC elevator drive. |
 | Further, in this way, with the help of screws and prepared plastic pipes create our caterpillar. |
 | We begin to assemble the drum with the shaft. |
 | We fix the plastic stars and the Karpatka driven from the moped. |
 | We take tensioner rollers from the Ryazanets potato harvester. |
 | The next step is to manufacture track tensioners and the frame itself. |
 | We install the chainsaw on the frame, and now you know how to make a snowmobile out of a chainsaw. |
 | We remove the plastic from the snow scooter and modify the frame, attach the "motorized dog". |
 | The connections are fastened like a rear fork, like on a motorcycle, only without shock absorbers. |
Homemade chainsaw sawmill
Craftsmen offer dozens different options how to "adapt" a chainsaw for. Most often, such structures require a frame to be connected to install a “carriage” under or a so-called tire. As guides, improvised tools are used, for example, an ordinary ladder.
The most important thing is to firmly weld the frame, controlling yourself by level. Rivne and solid foundation help to avoid distortions and vibrations during operation. Consider also at what distance and height the chainsaw will be fixed. The durability of its work depends on this. Carriage attachment too close to working area will lead to clogging of the chain mechanisms and failure of the motor.
If you do not plan to cut large logs, you can do manual version sawmills. More in this video.
How to make an ice drill from a chainsaw with your own hands - diagrams
The drill is an indispensable thing for those who know how and love to work around the house: it is used when construction work, installing supports for the vineyard, and, as well as ice fishing to prepare holes.
To make an ice drill from a chainsaw with your own hands, you need a diagram and the following devices:
- Chainsaw motor.
- Gearbox for a chainsaw for a drill.
- Boer himself.
- Metal pipe.
- Drill.
The most important thing is to choose the right gearbox for the motor, make necessary calculation compatibility of their characteristics. The chainsaw motor may be too "frisky" for a simplified gearbox design.
The first thing to do, if you put aside the humor and take the task seriously, is to determine the dimensions of the input shaft and choose the correct mounting points for the drive gear. Fixation around the perimeter is best done with studs and dowels. Such a mount will simplify the process of changing nozzles in the future. If you do not have the skills of a turner, then a turner and our schemes will help you make a special adapter for the auger auger.
Do-it-yourself boat motor from a chainsaw
It can be expensive to buy a ready-made sample of a boat motor, and if you have an old motor from the Druzhba chainsaw lying around and you are friends with and, then making such a homemade product is not difficult.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | Remove the clutch and tire from the chainsaw. Only a shortened crosspiece remains. |
 | On the rod we make a groove under this cross, put the bearing. |
 | Below we also install bearings, the clamps are taken from the Soviet outboard motor. |
 | From the grinder we take a 250 gearbox, screw and keel. Everything is fixed on silicone with additional glands. Transmission grease is filled inside. |
 | And the water engine is mounted on the base with a slight movement of the hand along the guides, the structure is fixed with standard nuts. |
Among the main advantages of homemade products are high power, which provides a decent speed of movement across the water surface, and economical consumption of fuel material. For an hour, a homemade chainsaw consumes 1 liter of gasoline at a speed of 20 km / h.
How to make a moped from a chainsaw and a bicycle
For manufacturing you will need:
- chainsaw;
- old hand winch;
- a rigid frame on which everything will be installed;
- two sprockets and a durable motorcycle chain to transfer torque from the saw engine to the gear of the gearbox.
Options for attachments for a chainsaw with a winch function: 
If you have not yet found a homemade option for yourself, read further in the review of our editors what else can be done from the Druzhba chainsaw.
How to make a motor drill from a chainsaw with your own hands
Consider the option of assembling a nozzle on a chainsaw using a part from a conventional drill.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | We disassemble the electric drill, dismantle the working gearbox. |
 | We bore the anchor from the drill, from the parts of the sleeve and the head we weld the structure, which will transmit the rotation to the shaft. |
 | We make the mount for the gearbox from a piece of metal and a pipe. |
 | The design is fixed to the saw body with two bolts. |
 | This is what it looks like finished construction bushing gearbox. |
 | We insert a drill into the sleeve, it will continue to transmit torque to the drill. |
By the same principle, it is also made from a chainsaw, only a plow is used as an additional device for it.
Do-it-yourself petrol cutter from a chainsaw
However, such models will cost much more. homemade nozzle, which you can do with your own hands.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | We disassemble the electric drill, the main task is to remove the asterisk, which will be replaced by a pulley in the future. |
 | We put the pulley, bearing and plate. After that, install the "native" clutch. |
 | In order to fix the piston in a dead center and facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the pulley, you can use a regular cord with knots. |
 | Next, install the starter and close the lid, you just have to attach the nozzle with the disk. |
A homemade gas cutter is much more powerful than a grinder. It can be used for cutting metal pipes large diameter, as well as their grinding.
RC car powered by a chainsaw
If your child really wants a radio-controlled car, but what is sold in the store, he considers a toy "for girls", you can try to make a real racing car with a chainsaw engine.
| Illustration | Action Description |
 | We get such a piston, we assemble a carburetor. |
 | They took a ready-made racing car as a basis. |
 | Our task is to make the drive and exhaust pipe and ensure that stones or bolts do not get into the piston. |

How to make a grinder from a chainsaw
Actually, this is a continuation of our story in the paragraph about how to create a gas cutter, only for reincarnation it is necessary to adapt it to a special nozzle.
Nozzles for a chainsaw with a belt drive:
To reduce the chance of blade breakage, the saw can be equipped with protective cover, and reduce the number of revolutions with a high-speed gearbox.
Features of creating homemade products from the Ural chainsaw
The choice of a chainsaw for rework should be taken extremely seriously. It is very important to calculate the power of the device and the tasks that the new product will have to solve. For example, the Ural chainsaw is considered one of the most powerful in its class.
Using a Ural chainsaw to convert a children's bike into a moped is extremely dangerous. Too much revs can simply break the chain and cause injury. But the huge advantage of the Ural is that chainsaws have not been discontinued and are still in service. Therefore, replacement parts can always be found.
Features of creating homemade products from the Druzhba chainsaw
Although it is quite old, it is a proven "friend" of all skilled people. This saw, no matter how many decades it would gather dust in the garage, will always help out in a difficult moment and become assistants in solving a large number of important tasks. The motor, although it does not differ in an excess of “horses”, will quite pull for reworking devices that are useful in everyday life and in the country.
- 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 do-it-yourself motor drill 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.

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 products made from the Ural chainsaw testify to its great capabilities. Originally created as a tool for sawing wood, it has become multifunctional in combination with additional attachments that the industry produces. However, craftsmen never cease to amaze with their ingenuity, creating new original devices.
Today, the industry produces convenient, functional and perfect devices for working with wood. For this reason, still workable Soviet saws have become undeservedly forgotten. But as it turned out, new saws cannot be reused, and the old ones, on the contrary, open up opportunities for widespread use for other purposes. Most often, Druzhba or Ural brand chainsaws, which used to harvest firewood, can be seen in the villages. Now savvy minds have adapted the old units for other things.
The Ural chainsaw was created on the basis of the Druzhba saw, which for a long time helped lumberjacks fell wood, surpassed it in quality and performance. Its main components are a drive with a two-pin or four-pin motor, a cutting bar and a handle. The universal drive allows the saw to be used in various options. An important fact for variation are its design features:
- engine of sufficient power;
- light weight and compactness;
- ability to withstand extreme conditions;
- autonomy.
The clutch eliminates overload and breakage of the working parts due to its tightness design.
Thanks to these qualities, the chainsaw has found application in the widest areas. National economy. Homemade products from the Ural chainsaw can be made both simple and complex. The simple ones are:
- mowers;
- cultivators;
- walk-behind tractors;
- boat engines;
- pumps;
- winches;
- ice axes;
- Bulgarians.
The following homemade products can be attributed to complex inventions:
- snowmobiles;
- snow blowers;
- sawmills;
- snowmobile;
- power plants;
- helicopters.
Features of creating homemade products
Do-it-yourself alteration of a gasoline unit will require certain knowledge of design, technical drawing. Then the parts made according to the drawings will ensure accurate and high-quality assembly. At home, parts are produced and assembled using lathe, grinders, welding machine.
A cultivator made from a chainsaw does not have enough power to handle large areas. But he is quite capable of coping with a small personal plot. To convert, you need the energy of the engine, which turns 2 gears, with one of them transferred to the drive wheel shaft. Such a light cultivator is quite within the power of many craftsmen.
The mower, obtained by alteration, is able to operate for a long time and continuously. Such a homemade chainsaw is made using simple manipulations by removing the tire along with the chain and drive sprocket. After graduation summer season the structure is restored and used for sawing wood.
It is unprofitable for owners of small garden or garden areas to buy a walk-behind tractor. Its maintenance and service, the purchase of spare parts, fuels and lubricants require significant additional investments, and often they do not justify themselves. If you have an old chainsaw, then you can make a walk-behind tractor out of it. The design principle will be to use a gear system consisting of two sprockets. If power is supplied from the engine shaft to the drive wheel shaft, the working bodies of the walk-behind tractor will begin to rotate. Homemade walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw with a built-in drive power, it will completely provide care for a small area.
In the middle part of our country, winters are usually frosty and snowy. A do-it-yourself chainsaw snow blower will help you clear the snow. To do this, you need to equip the device with a screw mechanism. The material for the blades must be selected durable and elastic. Rubber meets these requirements well. The principle of creating a snow blower mechanism is the same as in other devices. The torque from the engine is fed to the auger. It is convenient to mount a snow blower from a chainsaw on a sled, and you can use it to dump snow water pipe, having previously made a bend.
So thanks to the talent and resourcefulness craftsmen numerous and useful homemade chainsaw Ural.
