awesome idea and craftsmanship! would love a detailed plan on how you built it! just awesome!

I build custom machines for myself some disappear to my sons on a permenant basis. Any idiot can buy one but to build it yourself is something else you gain knowledge in the build and experience.Most people who build put in little tweaks, bigger motors wider work area loads of stuff. Its a case of can I make it better for myself some do and learn, some just buy and havent got a clue when it breaks down. Keep up the work mate those of us who can will encourage you.

ftrikerfox I understand what you're saying but a tool is a means to an end. I recall Mccoy telling Kirk on numerous occasions that he was a doctor not a...(bricklayer, mechanic, etc...). I am not a machinist, mechanic or electrician, I'm a finish carpenter. My time is better spent learning about finishes, veneers, newer and better fasteners and glues and on and on and on. While you might be a good machinist and/or mechanic and certainly better than me, I'd bet dollars to donuts I would leave you in the dust when it comes to finish carpentry. Now fix my saw, I got work to do.

@ignilc A 3kW (4HP) 400V engine, it has 1420 rpm, saw blade has about 3000 rpm (~62 m/s). Yes the disc diameter is 400mm (16 inch). I'm not sure if you will be able to cut with 500-1000 rpm, or it will cut very slow. The blade (disc) needs a linear speed of about 60 -70 m/s to cut. For most blades 80 m/s is the max safe speed. The rpm of disc is higher when the disc is smaller - for example a 125mm disc needs about 11000 rpm to have the right linear speed. Thanks for watching and for posting.

@imbro84 they work. I've tested a 800w dimmer on a small cheap 11000 rpm angle grinder. it works perfectly. actually, commercial speed controllers for universal motors are all basically light dimmers, using TRIACs or SCRs. They don't work however on induction motors, only universal motors.

@ignilc I'm sure it slows down but you can't hear or feel it. I'm not sure a light dimmer will work with an engine.

a certain load , perhaps you can confirm this? Does the blade and motor sound like it slows down during cutting?

which motor do you consider to be suitable for this cut off saw ? i mean lighting phase or three phase?
@ignilc13 жыл бұрын
very very nice work! this is the best homemade chop saw i've seen. What is the power and rpm of that motor? is that a 16 inch disc? I also want to build a chop saw, i'm considering using an angle grinder. I will slow the rpms way down to the 500-1000 range as I'm terrified of the disc shattering. This is also the reason I avoid using angle grinders for general work, because they have scary high rpms at no load, and angular speeds of around 300 km/h , with a crappy disc it's deadly.

@imbro84 Wow, well with an induction motor that size I guess you will always have power to spare. My understanding is that commercial chop saws use universal motors, right? since induction motors are much heavier and more expensive. The problem with univ. motors is that the rpm always varies with the load, so this is what worries me if I bring down to 1000 rpm a 350mm blade, on an angle grinder controlled by a high power light dimmer. With an induction motor the rpm will stay the same up to
