5:58 do you know what is flowpiercing ? ( I think it's called like this in english, it's "fluoperçage" in french ) Maybe buy this tool if you have the right machine.
I used to go through the trouble of drilling holes to bolt on casters like that. At some point I realized A. I'm probably not going to change them ever in my lifetime and B. If I ever had to, taking a grinder to it is hardly a big deal. So now I just weld them.
Yeah, I'd weld them too except most casters are cadmium coated which is much worse than zinc for your health. Also with a milling machine and DRO like Donn has, all you need to do is center punch one, then drill the other 3 based on the standardized distances.
I certainly agree on wheels in a one-man shop (or even two or three-man if there are many more machines than operators). Room to work around a machine is wasted space when it isn't being used. Over the past few weeks, I've binge-watched all your videos. Easy to see why you've built up to a half million subscribers.
Finally, a DIY project that was useful, and didn't make me feel like I just wasted another chunk of my time! Thanks, I have several tools that I will add this idea to.
Дружище я уже говорил ,что у тебя руки растут откуда надо. Но руки это приложение к светлой голове. Твоей находчивости и смекалке можно позавидовать. Всех благ, ждём новых видео.
Great job Donn, great build for the movable saw base. You did a fantastic job and it’s going to help you in your shop! Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
No need to be. You'll get the saw if you really want it. I did really want it and saved up some funds so I finally bought it.

@@DonnDIY I have so much great projects im my head, so when i have some spare money, i invest them to buy parts 🤣. If really, i can't say what i have not tools in my garage. Simply, saw are the last in my list. But i already hate angle grinder due it's dust everywhere.. 🤣
Love this heavy duty capacity you are working at. Great instructional video. What a power cutting machine... Sooo jealous - I Want!!! Respect fromTony/Thailand!
The rearrangement origin is from to know what you need for the best working. You have clever ideas! My congratulation and thanks for this sharing, Ciao, Nicola from IT
Yet another clever piece of engineering. Very well done, Donn! Nice cold saw, also. It should be a great upgrade to the shop to have it be more freely usable like that.
Although my comments are seldom short Donn, I will say that most are watching and forgetting that this was designed for the diy person. Factories have robots and other slaves that do the dirty work and show up seven days a week, any shift including overtime... I think they factored in how long any machine can go unmonitored. Your skills just keep on coming and truly feel like the love of metal and the love of wood are equal in terms of pulling at your heart strings when invention is the mother and need is the father. I would sure have loved to be your neighbor. If I had heard grinding noises at midnight, I would of grabbed my stocking cap and slippers and joined you... with some tidbits from the fridge to make a roast beef or chicken salad sandwich so that you wouldn't make me go home. Takes some strong methods of bribery when your need to watch is involved. I am of certain that when I meet st. Peter as I am seventy three, I will ask him to give you eternal health and life for inventions are about you and you have only begun. I have watched every youtube video of yours and wish I could rewatch to give second like. Tremendous things shall come in time from your mind
@@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267 I agree with you James, I was one for over seven hard hard years in viet nam. Ok... Color and slavery did but doesn't go hand in hand any more. I lost seven years there and the rest of my life thinking about those times
Did my apprenticeship on both cold and hot saws, good to see you embrace both. As a BMW you have to have the best of both worlds. Brings back memories of 30+ years.👍 Edit. Could you do a camber lever type, for quick setup and removal
5:22 classic Donn, removing the rust after its been built. Overall its faster and a way more thorough job to do it in tube form, while also making welding cleaner.
Great little build, strange how we always feel the need for things to be portable...what i want is one with a gyro so can be used outdoors or on un-even surface without drama
Very nice video, great editing and a great idea for putting wheels on tools like your saw. Really enjoyed watching how you put casters on the saw. Thanks for making the video, looking forward to watching those too. Jack, in Missouri USA

I think you're right; that saw SHOULD have been on casters already. However, that saw looks like it should be in a commercial or industrial shop, where equipment isn't moved around as much (generally). And I'm curious as to whether the base is backwards in relation to the saw. Because putting the access plate on the back of what was meant to be a stationary base is just dumb. On a mobile base (as you have made it), the location for accessing the coolant tank isn't so important, but it would be a *PAIN* in a shop where it was set against a wall. It's a great modification to that base, and a great video.
The motor of the saw hangs over the back of thr base quite a bit do when against the wall there's still room to get to the access panel. But now when the saw is mobile there's even more room. 😁
I have a multi-functional metal cutting blade recommended for you, it can cut a variety of metals without changing the blade, it is very suitable for your DIY use
Now using this setup I don't even use the jack screws in the front. The saw has enough mass to stay put without locking it. I'm really happy with the result because I need to move the saw around quite often.
Hello Donn. Great ideal and build has always. I had never seen a chop saw that before. The cuts look amazing. I am looking forward to more. Liked,shared. All my best.
Nice! I am working on putting everything on wheels as well. But because I have very little space I have mostly made dollies with the same footprint. Curious why you choose the option you did. It's very nice and I wish I had the room. Keep up the great work!
Why do people prefer this kind of saw over a band saw, that might be a bit more expensive but cuts much faster, similar cut quality and can cut bigger steel (most of the times) ? Just interested in opinions
It seems the noise comes from the gearbox in the geared saw head. If I were to put the saw on rubber pads this might reduce the noise allthough it is already on rubbery wheels, so I don'y really know. It is much less noisy than Evolution saw though.😀
Hey Dr. Donn. I'm surprised you didn't put a couple of locking casters on it to keep it from moving around. What do you think of your nickname Dr. Donn?
Thank you so much Donn! I have never seen anything like that before. I love your fabrication techniques, very cool and functional. By the way, what is the name of those welding clamps with red painted handles? You really inspired me to try the same for my jointer.
Donn The only add on I would make is a extension to hold extra weight. Something that can be dropped in and collapse so that it can be put away when not needed. Other than that it nice build.
Hey great vid as always! I got a question though. I noticed when you put the box tubing in your chop saw vice you clamped it with a corner up and a corner down, instead of just laying it in the jaws square. Is there a reason for this? I noticed you made later cuts with it square in the jaws. Keep up the awesome vids! I watch every one of them.
The Evolution recommends putting the material in the vice on the side so the blade lasts longer. But I was doing a dtraight cut. Habe to put it in flat when cutting at 45 degrees.
@@DonnDIY Thank you for the info, I didnt know blades lasted longer if you cut with the box tubing like that. I will do that from now on if Im making square cuts. Thank you!

At some point I realized A. I'm probably not going to change them ever in my lifetime and B. If I ever had to, taking a grinder to it is hardly a big deal.
So now I just weld them.
I thought about welding them but it felt robust. So I took a bit of time and drilled the holes. No biggie. 😀 But I like welding things together too. 😉
Like me and my brother hahahaha he like to weld things together too
Metal fatigue at the welds, and banging them up against obstacles will mean replacement Will have to happen.
Yeah, I'd weld them too except most casters are cadmium coated which is much worse than zinc for your health. Also with a milling machine and DRO like Donn has, all you need to do is center punch one, then drill the other 3 based on the standardized distances.
Spot-welding with AC is also great compared to Mig/Tig since your cost is much lower while you can work faster :)

Hey great vid as always! I got a question though.

I noticed you made later cuts with it square in the jaws. Keep up the awesome vids! I watch every one of them.
The Evolution recommends putting the material in the vice on the side so the blade lasts longer. But I was doing a dtraight cut. Habe to put it in flat when cutting at 45 degrees.
@@DonnDIY Thank you for the info, I didnt know blades lasted longer if you cut with the box tubing like that. I will do that from now on if Im making square cuts. Thank you!
That is one beautiful chop saw. Although the blade rpm is low, do you still need coolant?
Coolant will help maintain blade sharpness, prevent lockups, and when cutting tall objects, ensure blade rpms as there is more friction on the non cutting edge
love it!!!!!!!
