In fairness the welds are fine.he did not warp the sheet metal with his method.he would be better of just buying a saw.if that yoke kicks he has no chance.his hands are to close together
Wow, that's dangerous! Obituary will read.."Retired auto designer from Ford Motor Company, member of design team for Ford Pinto." RPM's too high, brushes wont last long, chain probably can't handle the rotation speed, disintegration likely... counting to ten again unlikely. Recommend using a small gear reduction unit and a poulan. That was a STIHL, how could you?!?!?!?
Amazing! You can clearly see that he has kept the trigger lock functional as well ! Now when it kicks back you'll have absolutely no chance of stopping it from maiming you or worse. Genius
Ive got a pretty nice 8 inch long 2 inch wide scar on my left calf after having a grinder kick back with the trigger locked. That grinder has been demoted to flap disk only.
Brilliant! I used to work in a lumber yard, and me and the guys were always sitting around talking about how we could really use a more shitty version of a chainsaw, with all the safety features removed. Thank you for this!
While I applaud your handiwork and attention to detail I have to agree with most of the comments here. From someone who used chainsaws since before I was old enough to drive (I'm now 62) helping my father clear our property to build a house and barn on I can tell you they are nothing to be messed with. They can tear a man apart in seconds and unlike clean cuts chainsaws leave very little left to sew back on. Once I finally saw what you were doing all I could thing about is the small electric chain saw I just recently bought for trimming large branches off the trees in the back yard. Only cost me $50 and saved me the hours you spent fabricating that device. I'm sure you had fun doing just do something safer please.
"Few people know about this function of the ANGLE GRINDER!" That's because it's not meant to function as a chainsaw.... It's right there in the name "ANGLE GRINDER".
@Falstaff 1893 It's still not the function of an angle grinder, as soon as you put on a cutting disk it doesn't function very well as an angle grinder. As soon as you remove the grinding disk it's no longer functions as an angle grinder. Let's call a spade a spade and not a shovel.
As someone who nearly sawed his toes clean off with an angle grinder with a rip saw blade I highly recommend not replicating any of these self amputation modifications to 115mm angle grinders.
I noticed too after cutting, the chain came a little loose, this contraption or add on already available online, I feel it is not designed to handle it, the consequence too, not cool.
............and if your points aren't enough, I wonder how long it will take for the nose wheel to explode or the chain to weld itself to the bar from being run at much too high of a speed, brilliant.
Using a grinder without a guard 0:55, holding a piece of metal with his hand while drilling it 3:37 ...all this to build an unsafe make shift chain saw...a true candidate for the Darwin award.
I'm not a big safety person, no guard on my table saw, don't wear safety glasses for everything, that kind of stuff. When it comes to a chain saw, different story. Not going to put on the leather chaps and face shield, but to have a kickback safety and the ability to move to the side is a no brainier for me.
to all: stay away from the end of the bar and kickback is not a problem. I used chainsaws at 10 years old with no anti-kickback BS, and I the ONLY time I have ever had a kickback is when I did something stupid... gheez. Edit: BTW. the whole kickback "movement" is similar to the Suzuki Samurai rollover "movement". ua-cam.com/video/w3sGkP8HeBY/v-deo.html
Outstanding. I had no idea what you were building until the last minute with the bar and chain. Great work. You should be working for some aerospace conglomerate out here making millions
It's always worth skipping to the end of these videos to see if you'd actually want to make these things. Before this video I've spent 20 minutes watching someone meticulously measure, cut, drill and grind their way to a device which cuts necks off glass bottles. I'm not sure how I've got to this age without needing this piece of equipment. God bless You Tube and man's need for recognition from strangers.
Yeah, I spent 20 minutes this afternoon watching someone butcher a car jack to make a car jack that holds up one end of a pipe while you put the other through an electric saw.I'd have settled for a block of wood.
Not really. For untrained hands . YES. Coz you're afraid. I also cut metal like him without guard. The trick is, cut with gentle force. DO NOT TWIST or change directions. This will chip the disc and may fly towards your face. Never lock the disc with spanner. Gently lock with hand will do as when rotating, the force make it tighter.Wear eye guard. Bigger ones for amateurs 😂😂😂
@@amrozh755 I used to be the same and thought as long as I did everything right when cutting nothing could get me. Turns out that a brand new cutting disk can blow up as soon as it revs up, before it even touched the work pice. And at this point I've had a good few let go, usually just a chunk, but sometimes total failure. I even had a brand new out of the box mastercraft grenade on the first spin up. Since I've been using good name brands all admit I haven't had issues. But I'm sure they let go the same. I'm still guilty of running them without guards myself, but only when I have to. And without the guard it's straight in to your fingers, and your face has a way worse chance too. After hitting a knuckle with a cut off wheel (totally my fault) I know how nasty they can be. Be safe as you can with them, if your like me and use them most days odds are one will eventually get yoy
I think most of the parts were found in the junk. So I think his work did save money and the environment...but not time :) Pretty dangerous tool I would agree.
Ok… first of all, I almost NEVER comment on these DIY videos. Secondly, I am all for creating methods of “making things work” out of necessity or sometimes, “just because I can”. BUT! As a person who has grown up using chainsaws and know of (and have seen) horrible injuries resulting from them, I cannot say I approve. Angle grinders often do not have “deadman” switches where if you let go, the grinder stops spinning, there’s no anti kickback, (which has saved me more than once.) and lastly, no balance point, as the bar will be heavier than the grinder body at the holding point. All in all, this horrifies me,
Must add I too immediately though, where is the instant stop? I have both angle grinder as well as a chainsaw and you do not have to switch off the Chainsaw, it actually stops immediately you let go, my angle grinder on the other hand requires you to actually switch it off via a clumsy slide switch and probably the most troublesome of all my power tools to turn off. Definitely not a recommended conversion.
You are correct. First of all it's not cheap to fabricate a chainsaw out of angle grander. Second you need to have other tools to make the attachnents. Wielding machines nuts and bolts will add to cost and you must be a trained man to use such tools. There are many cheap reliable electric chainsaws with safty features for sales on line to save all the troubles. It's just a show off to prove how handy the uploader of the clip is..but he still has to buy the chain and holdings which is more than half the price of a full electric chain saw. .🤔😄😄😄if you don't have one of the tool to do the job then it cannot be done.

@@ronnieg6358 I use my angle grinder without the guard daily to me that's not a big deal, but making a chainsaw out of a grinder is just suicidal. Chainsaws are not expensive
Let’s see, where to start? Two good, well engineered tools merged into one inferior tool by means of; non penetrating welds, no chain brake, no chain tensioner, no chain catcher and no way of securely grasping the “saw”. Nice, what could go wrong?
Thank you for pointing out the COMPLETE LACK OF PENETRATION on any of his "TACKS" because they were NOT WELDS. Also...this guy cant still be alive, is he?
Maybe with the money he made from his channel he can actually purchase a working chain saw; and a new grinder because the one in this video didn't last very long and burnt out the motor and bearings
And the emergency room bills when they have to remove this conglomeration from your body will pay for all of the chainsaws at hobo freight, and then some!
Absolutely brilliant. It’s given me a great idea: a device to remove my contact lenses using 15 rusty pins, a razor blade and a pint of acid. Cheers mate!
Hey!!! Can't anyone just leave a positive comment for this moron? Not Fair!!! Oops... WHAT AM I SAYING!??? Now I have to put back my grinder together which I turned into an eye gouger, but unfortunately, I can't find my contact lenses... You stole my idea! Shame on you!! (he! he!) You're funny...
You've managed to put the two most dangerous shop tools into one. It's an even more dangerous tool, without the pesky chain brake of a chainsaw, and with the trigger lock of a grinder! Chainsaws aren't that expensive, but you still need personal protective equipment.
Don't worry about the PPE, you don't need it went your using an angle grinder fitted with a cutting disc, especially one without a guard. After that, the chainsaw was really no surprise. Dangerous
@@mrxmry3264 It's a different design chain which can be sharpened on the outside of the teeth. There's a stone near the drive gear which can be manually moved against the teeth. It's very easy and effective. When the chain is worn out, you replace chain and stone at the same time. Look it up!
this is why I ALWAYS blow through the first 90 % of time on videos to see if it is even worth watching. It is such a time saver. I recommend everyone doing this on each video
Really very inventive but oh! So dangerous. Not to mention the removal of the angle grinder guard exposing the cut off wheel. I am 71, and a toolmaker by trade 🤚 and I still have all of my digits and no eye injuries. Cheaper and safer to buy a Makita electric with brake, guards and safety designed in. Albeit nice thinking outside the square👍👌
Right Uh? good thing that you wrote 'god' in small caps, otherwise, he'd be thinking you were complementing him! KING of... sorry, king of homemade... Crap! I wonder what else he makes at home besides an "angle grinder-ass scratcher"!
Thank god I read the comments before spending a lot of time explaining how ridiculously dangerous this contraption is. I hope no one risks life and limb attempting building or using something like this! The guy is clever and talented but extremely dangerous , I wish he would fabricate something useful and safe!
I will say this, if he tried to use that grinder without a gaurd at an OSHA job site, his employ would be short lived. Gaurds are for a reason. To protect the reckless and stupid. Myself included, 30 stitches when wheel exploded , and caught my thigh. Just the sound of a grinder makes my butt pucker now. Grinder PTSD.✌
Let's 'define' clever and talented, shall we? Tesla was talented, Einstein was clever... This FuFu guy is simply nuts!! So let's not call him clever or talented or whatever... Let's just call him a 'survivor' of his own idiocies...
Fantastic so all you need is several parts from an existing chainsaw and you can turn your angle grinder into a chainsaw only without any of that silly engineering and built in safety stuff the chainsaw you took parts from had to make this thing. Here's an idea for the next project, pull the electrical elements out of your oven and use them to convert your refrigerator into a cooker.
Even IF it had a trigger switch, like a chainsaw, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine it kicks-back and it just keep running and running; you drop it on the ground and it just keeps running and running flying all over the place.
thank you, sir. i've now been laughing for the past hour. i haven't laughed this much in five years... my wife thought i was having a heart attack because i was laughing so much. she was actually quite alarmed. then i started reading the comments and i started laughing uncontrollably again. laughter is the best medicine. i feel ten years younger for having laughed so much. this whole incident reminds me of my mate Mike Swart [sadly passed away earlier this year of cancer] who always advocated for taking the warning signs off machinery so stupid people could take themselves out the gene pool ... wherever he is now must be laughing too. just to let you know i have subscribed just in case you make more funny videos...

Battlebots may have a trademark on the name "killsaw", but this is truly a killsaw if there ever was one. Congrats on nearly 8 million views of easily the most dangerous tool I've ever seen. I hope the ad revenue has been sufficient to pay for both a proper chain saw and whatever means of destruction was needed to make sure this thing never gets fitted to a grinder again. :-)
I left my cimment in someone else's comment box. That was outstanding. I didnt jnuw what it was until you got the bar and chain out. You shoukd be working for some aerospace conglomerate out here in America. I'm sure you'd be in the hundreds of thousands in a short amount of time. Great work and great video.

I like that the video gets to the point immediately: The disc shield is removed before starting to cut parts. Just like there will never be kickback or need for proper chain lubrication (there is actually a reason why the oil is fed from the inside of the chain - think of centrifugal forces) there will never be exploding discs. A proper brand new electric chainsaw with all lubrication and safety features can be bought around €100. Nice tinkering, but this time a bad idea.
Never once have I looked at an angle grinder and thought, "hmm... let me waist time money and resources to make a piece of shit that is going to fly apart and kill me rather than pick up the Fricking chainsaw or even just a hand saw.
@@sampence1928 sorry, my phone always interchanges them. And there were so many other things I had to correct after typing it because my phone types wrong, but yeah, that's where I'm at. Is waisting time. Lol
Yeah having spent 20 years running saws thru work and knowing how even when you know what you’re doing, no kickback protection would make me hella nervous... regardless, it makes me want to build one just to say I did that!
@Psalms 118:8 how dare I comment. Who am I to know anything or ask any questions. Only you and people that share your point of view should be allowed to say anything.
After way too many interesting scars from careless use of big and small angle grinders I've finally learned, after many decades, to treat them with huge respect. Can't wait to make this modification and start all over again.....
Ingenuity is great but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. The absence of a clutch is a concern but not an idea killer. This is just too sketchy when a good electric chainsaw is only a home depot away while metal stock,a bending press and a mig or tig welder are not in every home handyman's inventory. Just buy one.
Noo.... the reason we are smothered in H&S Regs is not because people made useful things without 14 million safety features. It is because the stupid and/or unaware of proper usage used the useful item and did something stupid with it. See my comment under agnostic47 post to see more about anti-kickback BS
I thought that UA-cam was required to pull any material that was promoting dangerous activities and this ranks right up there with building your own nuclear reactor or building IEDs for fun. Over the years I have come to respect and even dare I say, admire all of my body parts being still attached and being alive to enjoy them.
Death Trap springs to mind, what happens to the chain once it heats up too much on that bar at high rpm... Its a no from me, would have been cheaper to go an buy a chainsaw than make that mess of a bodge too
looking forward from the hospital ED video showing a surgeon reataching sawn off fingers from a home made grinder chainsaw using sharpend fencing wire sharpend to a point using a block of concrete spinning on a lathe to shapen said fencing wire
@@danrook5757 This build is a danger to the operator no matter where you live. For those in poorer nations you can buy10 bow saws for the price of 1 grinder that most likely will burn out it’s motor under the strain of the chain saw blade before it causes serious injury.

That's so funny. Yet so scary to imagine a chainsaw blade jammed into someone's forehead.

Umm 🤔 think I’ll just use my chainsaw
I like how this man takes every precaution to protect his drill bits but zero precautions to protect his extremities.
Guard the bloody guard
Drill bit worth $7… finger cost nothing
One of the best so far 😂
Why use the angle grinder without the guard, and why use a hand drill when you have a bench drill?
@@ronnieg6358 I use my angle grinder without the guard daily to me that's not a big deal, but making a chainsaw out of a grinder is just suicidal. Chainsaws are not expensive
A Saturday afternoon, a few beers, a blown up chain saw, an idea, and enough tools to pull it off...HELLZ YEA!🍻
Can't wait for the next invention, DIY bath heater.
Firstly, fill the bath with cold water then just take your toaster and..... 😲
Roflol
Probably safer 😂
LMFAO hahaha
regrettably my wildebeast ex mother in law is long dead and I am unable to interest her in this very simple and cost effective idea
Hahaha
Let’s see, where to start? Two good, well engineered tools merged into one inferior tool by means of; non penetrating welds, no chain brake, no chain tensioner, no chain catcher and no way of securely grasping the “saw”. Nice, what could go wrong?
Thank you for pointing out the COMPLETE LACK OF PENETRATION on any of his "TACKS" because they were NOT WELDS. Also...this guy cant still be alive, is he?
And you missed supreme idea of oiling chain?
It is OK becasue he is making money on the views.
Everything !!!!!!!
Maybe with the money he made from his channel he can actually purchase a working chain saw; and a new grinder because the one in this video didn't last very long and burnt out the motor and bearings
For the money and time blown on that, you might just as well have bought a $50 Harbor Freight electric chainsaw!
And the emergency room bills when they have to remove this conglomeration from your body will pay for all of the chainsaws at hobo freight, and then some!
@@daltonsales5481 I'm looking at it like this - the angle grinder is $15. The chainsaw blade and guide is about $30. It's not worth it to save $5.
you do this because you can, not because it's practical or economical.
How's your fabricating skills? wanna show us what you make?
@@jeffhooper3447 I welded a workbench together from scrap steel angle if that counts...
At 2 grand per million views, I don't think he cares.
Doing this with a grinder is deadly. Why not just get a chain saw, which is what is made just for that, and use that? This makes no sense.

Hey!!! Can't anyone just leave a positive comment for this moron? Not Fair!!! Oops... WHAT AM I SAYING!??? Now I have to put back my grinder together which I turned into an eye gouger, but unfortunately, I can't find my contact lenses... You stole my idea! Shame on you!! (he! he!) You're funny...
That's just too much work, seeing as contact lenses are basically plastic they should stick to a soldering iron.

You've managed to put the two most dangerous shop tools into one. It's an even more dangerous tool, without the pesky chain brake of a chainsaw, and with the trigger lock of a grinder! Chainsaws aren't that expensive, but you still need personal protective equipment.
I TOTALLY AGREE. WTF IS HE DOING!
funny
Pretty cool huh
The hospital bill he will acquire (if still living) would buy him a truckload of Stihls or Husky's.
Don't worry about the PPE, you don't need it went your using an angle grinder fitted with a cutting disc, especially one without a guard. After that, the chainsaw was really no surprise. Dangerous
This is an incredible use of the angle grinder The creativity and functionality of this invention are truly impressive
Stihl makes a very affordable, self-oiling, self-sharpening, SAFE, electric chainsaw. Go buy one!
Self-sharpening? How does that work?
@@mrxmry3264 It's a different design chain which can be sharpened on the outside of the teeth. There's a stone near the drive gear which can be manually moved against the teeth. It's very easy and effective. When the chain is worn out, you replace chain and stone at the same time.
Look it up!
for his next act he will turn a chainsaw into a grinder
@@jimmacaulay844 if you have a part number, that would be a good start. A link would be ultimate

this is why I ALWAYS blow through the first 90 % of time on videos to see if it is even worth watching. It is such a time saver. I recommend everyone doing this on each video
How can l get your contact l need one
Really very inventive but oh! So dangerous. Not to mention the removal of the angle grinder guard exposing the cut off wheel. I am 71, and a toolmaker by trade 🤚 and I still have all of my digits and no eye injuries.
Cheaper and safer to buy a Makita electric with brake, guards and safety designed in.
Albeit nice thinking outside the square👍👌

Someone owes me 8 minutes of life
Thank god I read the comments before spending a lot of time explaining how ridiculously dangerous this contraption is. I hope no one risks life and limb attempting building or using something like this!
The guy is clever and talented but extremely dangerous , I wish he would fabricate something useful and safe!
I was thinking they could have taken the parts off of a broken electric chainsaw at least the chain brake or the clutch.
I will say this, if he tried to use that grinder without a gaurd at an OSHA job site, his employ would be short lived. Gaurds are for a reason. To protect the reckless and stupid. Myself included, 30 stitches when wheel exploded , and caught my thigh. Just the sound of a grinder makes my butt pucker now. Grinder PTSD.✌
Let's 'define' clever and talented, shall we? Tesla was talented, Einstein was clever... This FuFu guy is simply nuts!! So let's not call him clever or talented or whatever... Let's just call him a 'survivor' of his own idiocies...
Kick back to the face .
Damn, i mispelled guard, not once but twice. 30 hours of OSHA safety courses, and still can't see spell check.
Fantastic so all you need is several parts from an existing chainsaw and you can turn your angle grinder into a chainsaw only without any of that silly engineering and built in safety stuff the chainsaw you took parts from had to make this thing.
Here's an idea for the next project, pull the electrical elements out of your oven and use them to convert your refrigerator into a cooker.
😂
Hilarious
A smoker?
Even IF it had a trigger switch, like a chainsaw, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine it kicks-back and it just keep running and running; you drop it on the ground and it just keeps running and running flying all over the place.
id watch this
thank you, sir. i've now been laughing for the past hour. i haven't laughed this much in five years... my wife thought i was having a heart attack because i was laughing so much. she was actually quite alarmed. then i started reading the comments and i started laughing uncontrollably again. laughter is the best medicine. i feel ten years younger for having laughed so much. this whole incident reminds me of my mate Mike Swart [sadly passed away earlier this year of cancer] who always advocated for taking the warning signs off machinery so stupid people could take themselves out the gene pool ... wherever he is now must be laughing too. just to let you know i have subscribed just in case you make more funny videos...
I agree with your friend. Lets take idiots out the genepool before they breed and weaken the species!

Battlebots may have a trademark on the name "killsaw", but this is truly a killsaw if there ever was one. Congrats on nearly 8 million views of easily the most dangerous tool I've ever seen. I hope the ad revenue has been sufficient to pay for both a proper chain saw and whatever means of destruction was needed to make sure this thing never gets fitted to a grinder again. :-)
Just when I thought an angle grinder couldn't get anymore dangerous - mind blown.
But it's painted green!
Still laughing 🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂
EXACTLY
You won't feel anything because you'll be already dead, or the chain stuck on your head or leg.
There is a reason “few people know about this function of an angle grinder” 🙄
Yup, none of then lived to tell the tale of "How I turned my 10,000 rpm electric grinder into a life insurance claim for my now single wife"
Function 🤔 , i thought that kind of stuff was considered jerry rigging or in certain instances , how to loose a hand or life 🤣
Stubby knows.
Ha ha ha ha....
Maybe the "Chain Saw Massacre" guy!💀
Brings a whole new meaning to life hack.
I left my cimment in someone else's comment box. That was outstanding. I didnt jnuw what it was until you got the bar and chain out. You shoukd be working for some aerospace conglomerate out here in America. I'm sure you'd be in the hundreds of thousands in a short amount of time. Great work and great video.
This is one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam, made me smile from ear to ear, I wonder if he's still alive.

Lets hope natural elimination will work on these types.
How many fingers he has left?
He d9esnt seem to value them.
I like that the video gets to the point immediately: The disc shield is removed before starting to cut parts. Just like there will never be kickback or need for proper chain lubrication (there is actually a reason why the oil is fed from the inside of the chain - think of centrifugal forces) there will never be exploding discs.
A proper brand new electric chainsaw with all lubrication and safety features can be bought around €100. Nice tinkering, but this time a bad idea.
Fat and blood will provide some lubrication, and bonus of spatter artwork on surrounding walls
Yep, the oil needs to be under the chain and this method has no chance of achieving that.
Never once have I looked at an angle grinder and thought, "hmm... let me waist time money and resources to make a piece of shit that is going to fly apart and kill me rather than pick up the Fricking chainsaw or even just a hand saw.
When you put your hands on your hips that is your "waist". I love to "waste" time correcting people that use this word out of context. 😉

Best example I have seen on something you should not do.

Yeah having spent 20 years running saws thru work and knowing how even when you know what you’re doing, no kickback protection would make me hella nervous... regardless, it makes me want to build one just to say I did that!

"Few people know about this function of the ANGLE GRINDER".... because few people want to lose a limb/eye/life

@@elementalist1984... no guts...no glory
Hopefully natural selection strikes again!
Ingenuity is great but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. The absence of a clutch is a concern but not an idea killer. This is just too sketchy when a good electric chainsaw is only a home depot away while metal stock,a bending press and a mig or tig welder are not in every home handyman's inventory. Just buy one.
@@elementalist1984 b
This guy is the reason we are now smothered with Health and Safety legislation.

Noo.... the reason we are smothered in H&S Regs is not because people made useful things without 14 million safety features. It is because the stupid and/or unaware of proper usage used the useful item and did something stupid with it. See my comment under agnostic47 post to see more about anti-kickback BS

@@3Hose . the gov is corrupt is why we have so many regulations. The hurd occasionally needs thinned out. Tools like this do the job.
I thought that UA-cam was required to pull any material that was promoting dangerous activities and this ranks right up there with building your own nuclear reactor or building IEDs for fun. Over the years I have come to respect and even dare I say, admire all of my body parts being still attached and being alive to enjoy them.

In other words, he invented a horrible chainsaw.
looks like he also likes the idea of losing his hand as well, if that grinder should slip, he will lose it no problem
But you got to admit it is an excellent person mangler
And doesn't know how to weld.
@@Coopdeville0624 I noticed that, what on earth was he doing, the welds will be well weak

With the parts left over you should be able to make an angle grinder from a chainsaw.
What a wonderful underpowered dangerous tool 🤘
When I was young an old timer once told me, " son; never use your hand as a hammer and always use the right tool for the job ".
"and son, if you need to cut a tree down, remember, I have an angle grinder"
Smart old timer.
If he has enough tools to create that contraption, he should have enough money to buy a proper safe chainsaw.
Unless he ran out of money after buying all those tools
