JHCC Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 18 hours ago, ThomasPowers said: Chainsaw bandsaw! Hmm. A chainsaw blade runs at about 5,000 feet per minute. A carbide-tipped dry cut saw runs at about 1400 rpm. A 14" circular saw blade has a circumference of about 44 inches. 44 inches times 1400 rpm = 61,600 inches per minute, divided by 12 equals about 5133 feet per minute. Let's braze some dry cut carbide teeth onto a chainsaw blade!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 A chainsaw has a throttle, you don't have to run it wide open. A Stihl turns more slowly than say a Huskvarna chainsaw. You can buy carbide demolition chains that don't much care what you're cutting. I believe Thomas was talking about putting a bandsaw blade on a chainsaw or using a chainsaw to power a bandsaw. We'll probably have to wait for him to get home to clarify. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just saying---if you are going to experiment---have some fun! There is a Huge Doall bandsaw behind the Geo building with what looks like a diamond blade on it. I'd be lusting in my heart for it save that it runs on 440 VAC 3 phase IIRC. And I'm having enough trouble getting 220 single phase into my smithy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerooster Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 If you have 220 single phase, running 3 phase equipment is no problem. All you need is another 3 phase motor of same or greater HP, as the one you want to run. EZ PZ. (3 phase motors are way less expensive than single phase motors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
