I show what does and doesn't work... then upgrade my saw with more horsepower and speed control for cutting steel or wood at the turn of a dial.

I tested my saw on bologna. It definitely works on cold cuts. I'll have to pick up some dry salami to see if it can do dry cuts, too.

This project is meant to be a creative teaching moment. I don't expect anyone to buy a VFD and induction motor. That would cost more than buying a separate saw. LOL I really just wanted to show what does and doesn't work in a creative way. I hope you walk away with a new understanding of universal motors, speed control, and maybe laughed a bit at this insane upgrade! Which worked out great by the way. Cuts both steel and wood like a champ!

This dude is one of the most informative people on KZfaq. I would never replicate his experiments but now I have justification for why.

When you wheeled the new motor to the saw ON A CRANE, I knew I was a witness to greatness in the making. Tim Allen of Home Improvement ("MORE POWER!") couldn't have done it better. Bravo!

You never want to be the smartest person in the room. And that is why I watch these videos. So much fun learning stuff like this. Thank you, as always for the excellent content!

Cant believe that was a 22 minute video. I would have watched an hour without even realizing it. I definitely need a 2hp variable speed mitre saw now...👍👍😁

If I cut a pork loin with my meat cutter, does it become a "chop saw?"

I have never seen someone with as much skill and talent as you. Your humbleness is golden. Great job!!!

Just FYI, they do make 10" and 12" carbide-toothed blades for cutting ferrous or non-ferrous metals with a miter saw at their natural speeds. That's what I use most for cutting steel. 10" sliding compound miter saw from Harbor Freight for $100 and a 10" carbide toothed blade from Concord on Amazon for about $25 delivered overnight

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but regardless - kudos for going the extra mile and using the proper approach to tackle the problem! Most people who try to modify or DIY a tool tend to cut corners and follow to path of least resistance which often leads to unimpressive results. Thanks a lot for sharing this experiment, I think I'll try to reproduce it actually - space is a huge problem for any DIYer with only a garage, and I just don't have enough to fit every tool that I'd like to have.

@prayertool

I had no intention of watching this entire video but your delivery along with your innovative use of your equipment and knowledge captured me. I “liked” and plan to “follow”. Keep up the good work. I wish you much success.

The world needs more Jeremy Fieldings. Your thinking is not common in today's world. Thank you for your videos. I'm going to edit this here for full transparency. The world needs more people that think like Jeremy Fielding.

@terrydaubenspeck5976

I just came across this video and am hooked for life. Jeremy is an absolute genius and I love his open mindedness, skills, craftsmanship and easy to understand explanation and videos. Thank you Jeremy, so nice to meet you!

Jeremy, thanks for your efforts. I appreciate coming here and learning stuff I wasn't even smart enough to know I didn't know.

you had my undivided attention when you made it clear the potential of having anything modify to serve different purposes as was the case in this video. Such a genius!!!! PLEASE pass it on.

Keep the great motor tutorials coming! Your content is easily the best on the subject here on KZfaq. I've worked around 3 phase induction motors as a maintenance mechanic for 20+ years, and every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new about electric motors in general.
