Circular saw with a broach with their own hands

Safety features

When preparing blanks from particle board or thick plywood, the use of the very circular saw is inevitable, which will later become an integral part of the cut-off saw to be formed. All the potential dangers of carrying out the work of making a machine with your own hands is associated with this very tool.

It is desirable to work on a professional workbench, but if for some reason it is not possible, then you should be careful to ensure that the teeth of the saw blade did not accidentally touch any surface, and, of course, in no case did not hurt any part of your body. The cutting tool is an object of great danger to the user.

How to make crosscutters for wood with their own hands

A wide variety of equipment can be used for woodworking. This kind of material is amenable to processing, which determined its popularity in the production of various things. To change the size and shape of workpieces a crosscutting machine is used. Its construction is similar to that of a circular saw, but there are several differences that determine the popularity of the machine. The main advantages include low weight and overall dimensions, which allows the equipment to be installed in the home workshop. It is possible to make a wood trimming machine by yourself, but as a rule, self-made will be more cumbersome and less productive. It is convenient to operate this equipment in stationary mode.

What is the purpose of the trimmer

Unlike a travelling circular saw, the facing machine can be used exclusively for trimming the ends of various lumber. Some models allow you to maintain a certain angle. In this case the trimming passes at a stationary condition of the workpiece, which determines a better cut. This point determines the fact that the homemade facing machine in workshops is quite common, because only with its use you can make a clean, even end. Saws created by your own hands can serve for several years without overhaul.

Grinding saw on the basis of an angle grinder

An angle grinder is often used for the task at hand. It is ideal for making your own facing machine for machining end surfaces. The homemade version of the design will have the following specifications:

• Angle grinder disc speed should not be less than 4500 revolutions per minute;
• The cutting length is 350 millimeters. It should be noted that this indicator is significantly higher than that of the factory tool, which belongs to the middle class.

The created design allows you to remove the angle grinder from the table and use it as an ordinary tool.

When considering how to make a similar version of the execution, let us note the following points:

• cutting tool is installed on the axle, which is represented by a car wheel. This point determines the possibility of facing at an angle. 150 mm bearing is used to secure the swivel mechanism. To fix the angle grinder, a special mechanism is used, which is mounted on a rotary axle. It is advisable to lubricate this axle after a certain period of time as there is a possibility of squeaking;
• In order to fix a defined angle in the production of the machine tool, special ear plates are welded on the outside of the bearing. Fixing is carried out using a screw, e.g. M6. the lugs should be braced so that the distance between them is not too great. Otherwise there is a possibility of a strong backlash, which will significantly reduce the accuracy of processing; Pole-saw on the basis of the angle grinder 3D model (drawing) of a self-made crosscutting machine Self-made model, made on the basis of a circular saw
• the possibility of chips getting into the bearing should be excluded. this is because the chips inside the bearing lead to its wear and the cutting tool does not rotate smoothly. Chips can be quite fine, leading to rapid wear of the bearing. The introduction of a lubricant also eliminates the possibility of rapid bearing wear;
• The traction can be created with the help of a shock absorber. It is advisable to choose the truck version, since it is more resistant to environmental influences. Broken shock absorbers can also be used. Preparation of shock absorber consists of removing oil and drilling holes, which becomes a kind of ventilation. The holes should be covered with mesh with small holes to prevent wood chips from getting into the ventilation system;
• To avoid a strong jerk at the beginning of work, the angle grinder should be equipped with a soft-start module. This module reduces the number of revolutions at the very beginning of start-up and accelerates the disc to operating speed gradually. It is not possible to make a soft start module by yourself, it must be removed from another device or purchased separately.

The last stage of production can be called the creation of a shield for the saw. This element eliminates the possibility of foreign bodies getting into the cutting zone. The end trimming machine can be used in the home.

However, the design in question has significant disadvantages that should be taken into account. They can include:

• Trimmer, made by own hands, is very noisy. This is due to the peculiarities of the work of the angle grinder. During processing there is noise, which is almost impossible to reduce;
• The facing machine is used for high-quality processing of end surfaces. That is why quite a lot of attention is paid to the accuracy of the location of the angle grinder with a disc relative to the workpiece. To adjust the location of the angle grinder with a disc, the scraps of bars are used. The rod should be fixed with a bolt, after which you can perform processing.

The drawings of the facing machine determine that it can be installed quite simply in almost any workshop. Take into account the fact that the design is small, and the workpiece can be quite large. In order to eliminate the possibility of loss of accuracy during processing, it is necessary to hold the structure to the base.

Particular attention is paid to the type of disc installed. Originally, the angle grinder was designed for processing metal, which determines the presence of a large number of discs for metal. But there are also discs for woodworking, which have their own features.

Note that there are quite a few drawings that can be used when creating a crosscutting machine. Some are simple enough to implement, others are difficult to perform.

Wood polishing

Brushes, discs circles are used for this purpose. Their “working elements” can be made of sponges, felt, fine-grained “sandpaper” and a number of other materials.

This article provides examples of only the basic types of attachments on the “angle grinder”. There are quite a lot of products of this class, so it is not difficult to choose the best option for any woodworking tool. The author hopes that the provided information will help the reader in this.

A crosscut saw with a broach with their own hands

When in construction it comes to the longitudinal sawing of a board or bar, experts prefer to use a quality tool from proven manufacturers, as the effectiveness of the work depends on the characteristics of the tool. Such tool is a crosscut saw. Of course, this is not the most popular tool for the household, but it can greatly simplify the performance of carpentry work.

Trimming saw on the basis of an angle grinder

For the task at hand, an angle grinder is often used. It is ideal for making your own end trimming machine for machining end surfaces. The homemade version of the performance will have the following specifications:

• the speed of the angle grinder disc should not be less than 4500 rpm;
• Cutting length is 350 millimeters. Note that this index is significantly higher than the factory tool, which belongs to the middle class.

the designed design makes it possible to remove the angle grinder from the table and use it as an ordinary tool.

Trimmer with a broach with their own hands

When in construction it comes to the longitudinal sawing of a board or bar, experts prefer to use a quality tool from proven manufacturers, as the effectiveness of the work depends on the characteristics of the tool. Such a tool is a crosscut saw. Of course, this is not the most popular tool for the household, but it can greatly simplify the carpentry work.

How to make a homemade crosscutting machine (trimmer) on wood with their own hands

Trimmer is designed similarly to a circular saw mounted above the work table. its main advantages: compactness and light weight. That’s why they are used not only in workshops, but also on construction sites. Unfortunately, tools made with their own hands are quite bulky and heavy. They are easy to operate in stationary mode.

Making a Hand Powered Circular Saw. Surgical Instruments

A crosscut saw is designed for the sole purpose of trimming the ends of lumber at various angles. Due to the fact that during cutting the workpiece on the table is stationary, the cut is neat and clean. Masters who work with wood give preference to this tool. And the saws made by their own hands have been successfully used for years.

Trimming from an angle grinder

Technical characteristics of a crosscut saw with a broach assembled by own hands:

The tool can be removed from the table and use the angle grinder for its usual purpose.

• The swivel of the tool is installed on the axis of the car wheel (pin), it is held by a ball bearing 150 mm (if you can find more, it will do).
• On the outside of the bearing weld the lugs for fixation on the base. It is fixed by means of screws M6.
• To protect against chips the casing is covered with a box.
• We make the tension rod from truck shock absorbers (broken ones will do). Oil is poured out of them, holes are drilled for ventilation, which should be covered with a mesh against dust and shavings.
• To avoid jerking when starting, the saw is augmented with a soft starter that reduces the rpm slightly.
• The last stage of the work is to make a protection for the disc.
• It is very noisy;
• to regulate the accuracy of the cuts in wood, you use wood clippings, after which the pull rod is fixed firmly and you can work cleanly.

Cutting from different scrap metal

This is quite a heavy facing on a stationary metal table. To operate it, you will have to exert some effort. But as a result, the saw mechanism moves smoothly, without jerks, facing your own hands is easy.

The materials and tools needed for the assembly:

• Electric motor with a power of 900 watts;
• metal sheet;
• metal angle;
• channel;
• pivot group;
• a powerful spring;
• angle grinder;
• welding machine;
• file.

Base made of adjustable legs, metal angle bracket and posts from the old bed. Working surface. metal sheet as the surface of the table, in which we cut a hole, the edges with your own hands process a file.

• Pendulum stand for the saw is welded from a channel, mounted on a sheet of metal, its height is about 80 cm.
• The stand for the electric motor is made in the form of a movable metal plate mounted on hinges. When mounting the electric motor, use a spring as a stabilizer. Then you can do without the pendulum and belts.
• The tension belts are adjusted with a simple hinged bolt; the pendulum for the mechanism is also made of metal.
• A disc with diameter of 420 mm is installed on the facing tool as a cutting tool.

The crosscut saw is a rather dangerous machine. When making it with your own hands, you need to assemble protective shields and guards. After all, the errors in the work of homemade equipment is much higher than that of the factory.

Advantages and disadvantages of homemade trimmers

• Making tools with their own hands saves money. For example, to finalize the angle grinder spent about 500. The cost of a homemade table and sawing mechanism is affordable to most craftsmen;
• The main parameters: kerf depth, rotation frequency, disc diameter, motor power, table size, are selected according to their own needs;
• by assembling the tool with your own hands, the technician can easily find the cause of the problem and fix it.
• Tool life depends on the quality of raw materials, and self-made tools are usually assembled from all kinds of junk;
• home-made trimmers are rarely powerful enough. After all, a careful selection of parts is necessary for the quality work of the equipment;
• Sometimes the money saved on the purchase of a factory-made tool is spent on repairs and improvements to homemade tools;
• craftsmen often save on their safety by not equipping their table and saw with safety devices;
• Factory-made saws have a graduated scale that accurately indicates the angle at which wood is cut. This is difficult to produce on a home-built machine.

Trimmer saw with their own hands

Greetings to all fans of homebuilders and guests of the site. Today I present to your attention a variant of making a compact mitre saw. The design somewhat resembles a crosscut saw on the base of angle grinder. For its manufacture, the author used wood planks and a small but powerful motor. Such a small machine will not take up much space in the workshop or even on the balcony, and the benefits of it you will feel at once. I think this idea will come in handy for experienced homeowners.
