Residents of private homes, travelers, lovers of outdoor recreation and those who decide to make minor repairs on their own need convenient tools. Hand tools for cutting, chopping and cutting often take up a lot of space and are inconvenient, and professional equipment is expensive. Combining budget and comfort in use will help a mobile saw, which you can do yourself. A small hand-made electric saw will work on batteries, so there is no need for gasoline and sound insulation during use.
Features of mobile power saw:
1. Multifunctionality. The tool can be used for chopping, cutting and sawing medium-hard materials (boards, wood and other construction resources).
2. Variations of the connection and the type of power supply of the device. The instruction assumes that the user can choose a convenient method of recharging (power supply or car battery).
3. Simple and safe transportation of tools. Small dimensions and light weight make the saw a reliable accessory for outdoor activities and not only.
Electric saw manufacturing
List of required materials:
- Sheet of plywood or particleboard.
- Engine 12 or 24 Volt take HERE.
- Adapter for cutting tool.
- The chain and tire are small.
- Belting.
- Asterisk (leading for chainsaw).
- A piece of PVC pipe and two plugs and a corner to them.
- Corners for fixture (from an aluminum alloy).
- Bearings (2 pieces).
- Axis (made of steel).
- Batteries to choose from.
- Fixing hand tools (bolts, nuts, screws and others).
- Power button.
These consumables are freely available in construction stores, the engine and other electrical components can be purchased on the radio market.
What tools will be needed in the work?
- Drill and drilling machine.
- Sharpened.
- Hacksaw for metal.
- Jigsaw.
- Vise.
- Wrench.
- Bulgarian.
- Calipers.
- Trivia for marking (markers, rulers and so on).
An amateur tool can be used to complete this instruction; its power will be sufficient.
How to make a mobile power saw with your own hands in 10 actions?
• Action one - preparing the adapter for the sprocket. In an electric saw the necessary component is a belt reduction gear. The asterisk in the mechanism acts as a torque, which is transmitted to the driven shaft. To securely attach it to a thin steel axis, an adapter must be used. This component is used for a saw, therefore it needs to be changed a little: to make measurements, to fix a product in a vice, to groove slots. After that, you can install the sprocket and tighten it tightly with a nut. All fasteners of this design consists of two screws.
• The second action is the manufacture of the frame. This is one of the main parts of the future tool, because the engine and gearbox are mounted on it. To make it, you need plywood or a sheet of chipboard of the right size, in which after you need to drill holes for fastening. A jigsaw is used to work at this stage.
• The third action - fixing the engine and gearbox. You need to make a seat on the frame to securely hide the mechanism. Bits are used for undercutting, a machine for drilling, in the end it is also necessary to drill holes for screws. When these preparatory processes are completed, you can screw the motor. Then the axis is installed: the desired segment is mounted on the driven pulley with further placement on bearings, which should then be pressed into the frame.
• Fourth step - adding to the tire structure. In order for the tire to be at a level with an asterisk, you need to take an additional piece of the board, cut out the part and fix it with liquid nails or screws. To fasten the tire to the structure, bolts with nuts and self-tapping screws are used, when wrapping it is important to make sure that the chain is installed correctly. At this stage, you can try to start the saw, before treating it with engine oil.
• Step Five - Install protection for the gearbox. A casing is made of plastic or a thin sheet of metal, which will perform several functions - to protect the gearbox and serve as a seat for the power supply. The casing is made as follows: a sheet of the required size is cut off, bent and fastened to the frame with self-tapping screws.
• The sixth step is to attach the batteries. The batteries are attached to the protective cover using construction tape.
• The seventh action - the creation and fastening of the handle. For the handle, pipes, PVC corners are used, which are cut to size, glued together and installed using self-tapping screws or rivets. In the handle you need to install the power button in the form of a key: make a place, draw wires and fasten with hot glue.
• Action Eight - Connect. Wires with a soldering iron are attached between the battery and the break of the switch through the plug.
• The ninth action is the manufacture of casings for tool durability. To prevent the engine from clogging up with sawdust and other debris, a piece of pipe must be put on it. A cap with a large number of holes for heat exchange and ventilation is installed on top of it.
• Action ten - testing and getting started. The finished tool is lubricated with a grease fitting and included, it is important to monitor the chain tension in the mobile power saw. The presence of a lubricant is necessary, otherwise, the tire will quickly become unusable.
The power saw will last longer with careful handling: regular lubrication during use, the absence of overloads and prolonged operation, which is accompanied by overheating of the system. It is important to monitor the cleanliness and serviceability of sharpening the chain, then the tool will work properly for a long period.
Own-made mobile power saw is suitable for short-term uninterrupted operation, for example, cutting firewood, branches, boards and other materials.
