Onoff Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Anyone used one of these, converts an angle grinder into a small chainsaw: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-Function-Electric-Saw-Bracket-Chainsaw-Chain-Kit-For-Angle-Grinder-Cool-UK/123463268898?hash=item1cbefbfa22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Doesn’t seem to have a chain brake - would be a deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 no clutch either, so that will start straight away and it could be left going without a finger on the switch. I've used chainsaws for 30 years and I've had a chain come off - there's no way I'd be using that thing. Its a dangerous enough tool without this sort of stupidity.

ProDave Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 No variable speed either and I suspect the average angle grinder runs way quicker than a petrol chain saw so the thing would be bloody lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickie Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Reminds me of on old boy I worked with years ago,Farty John. He was notoriously laboured about his diy projects. He got some spare tiles for his bathroom from site & put them by his front door when he got home. Legend had it that by the time he put them up,they’d been outdoors so long that they’d weathered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
