Why resort to a homemade version?
Often, it is home-made options for tools or improving existing ones that are done because of the desire to save money. Using improvised means and parts that are left over from equipment or equipment that has become unusable, craftsmen skillfully make various devices, such as, for example, a grinder chainsaw chainsaw.

Electric saw from grinder
Anyone who has ever worked with wood should have a saw in their arsenal of tools, with which it is much easier to carry out sawing work. Below is a diagram of the conversion of an electric saw, which can be made from a grinder
In order to convert the angle grinder into an electric saw, you must have with you:
- Welding machine;
- Adapter for cutters;
- Small thickness metal roller;
- Reducer;
- Saw part.
The first thing to do is to weld a movable wheel at the end of the boom. It is very important to make sure that this wheel and contour are the same contour. If this nuance is not taken into account, then the chain will fall off or be strongly stretched. After that, an adapter for cutters is attached to the wheel. The adapter should not be fixed permanently, it must be removable, otherwise difficulties may arise during operation.
A simple and reliable rework option is the following method. We take a tire from an old chainsaw, an asterisk and a chain. Two perforated corners are twisted together. In one, cut a hole for the nut. We will attach an asterisk to it, and so that it is possible to attach a corner on the casing.
Attach the tire to the remaining corner. After that, we fasten the asterisk and connect the chain. That's all the manipulations, as a result of which we get an effective saw.

Owner feedback
Michael:
I don’t consider myself a craftsman, but circumstances forced me to try to make a chainsaw out of a grinder. It was necessary to saw trees, and with a hand saw you can’t cut it even in a month. So I decided, after viewing the information on the network, to buy a suitable adapter on aliexpress. The attitude towards everything Chinese is not very enthusiastic, but having assembled the unit according to the drawings in the instructions, which was in Chinese, I was surprised that the device works and cuts well.
