Chain saw attachments for grinder

"Bulgarian" is an almost ideal tool in its field. But it can be further improved and even converted into a kind of saw. To do this, you will have to use special attachments.

It is worth considering right away: all experiments with angle grinders should be carried out only by people who are thoroughly versed in this technique. Otherwise, the consequences may turn out to be unpredictable (and hardly pleasant for the "inventors"). To use the sander for sawing, you will need a special handle, a guard and a special type of disc. A typical chain saw attachment for a grinder includes:

• a tire attached to the tool;
• handle;
• a sprocket mounted on a shaft;
• a set of fasteners and tools for working with them;
• insulating shield for the user.

First of all, you should dismantle the factory flange of the angle grinder. An asterisk is displayed instead. Use the supplied nut to secure this part. The base block is attached to the gearbox. Then the screws are firmly tightened on both sides.

The guide bar is installed immediately in conjunction with the chain. Important: you should immediately check how adequately everything is exposed. We must not forget about the installation of protective covers. After the handle is placed, the chain is tightened with a special screw. It remains only to check the degree of tension, and the work is finished.

Sawing attachments for angle grinders are supplied from China or Canada. It is not recommended to purchase a Chinese product. Judging by the reviews, some of the orders come with disks scattered into small pieces. And the quality of the metal does not always reach the desired level. Therefore, the savings do not justify themselves.

Quality products successfully cope with boards of any thickness. The appearance of backlash is also excluded. Even the high speed of the motor in the angle grinder does not cause problems. Users do not notice vibration, jerking, or pushing tires out of wooden blanks. In terms of ease of use, these systems are not inferior to standard electric chain saws.

Compared to a conventional saw, the grinder:

• works faster;
• takes up less space;
• increases work productivity;
• much lighter;
• lasts longer (if the tool is used correctly).

To cut wood, you can use special cutting discs with a chain. However, it is very difficult to find the type of attachment suitable for a particular model. The saw blade, which combines the features of a disc and a special chain, is suitable for cutting boards no thicker than 4 cm. Extreme care must be taken when using it. It will not be possible to start the angle grinder at a higher speed than the disc allows.

This device will also help to prepare a log house no worse than a high-quality ax. But you should not use such a disc instead of a cut-off wheel. The cut line will be ragged and too much wood will go to waste.Another type of attachments - a disc with abrasive coarse grains - is no longer intended for primary processing, but for rough milling. This accessory is safer than a hand rasp.
