Chainsaw attachments that not everyone knows about. Part 2
The list is not limited to a grinder, a plane and a sawmill in the form of attachments for a chainsaw. Let's continue the review of the tool that expands the functionality of chainsaws. Let me remind you that such devices are needed for those places where there is no electricity or the purchase of a full-fledged instrument is not planned.
Brushcutter attachment
Many in their summer cottage or suburban area have to prune trees. If this is a single pruning, then garden shears or a reciprocating saw (if available) will cope with this task. But there are ornamental shrubs that need to be shaped with a special brush cutter. To use once a year is expensive to purchase. And if you buy or make yourself such a nozzle for a chainsaw blade? We look:
The principle of operation of such a nozzle is simple. The branches of the bush abut against the vertical stops on the canvas and the teeth of the chain cut them off. It is similar to a professional hedge trimmer, but there is a reciprocating motion. If the speed of work is not important, then the nozzle will do the job. Moreover, you can cook it yourself:
From the steel strip we cut the segments to the required length. One central one and weld "teeth" to it. We drill holes for fixing on the tire and paint in bright red. The link under the photos has a video of assembly and demonstration of the operation of the nozzle
If there is no desire to collect, then you can buy, the price is low:
Factory options length: from 25 cm to 35 cm. Weight approx. 1 kg.
To anyone interested, there was an article about the brushcutter attachment and the trimmer pole here
The next nozzle is debarker
This is a cutter for cutting a groove in a log if someone is building a bathhouse or a house from round timber. A business forest costs 3-5 thousand sq. rubles / m3, and the timber is already 10 thousand. rub / m3. There is savings. The bark can be removed with a plane attachment (shown in the first part) or a cororder (a plane with other knives). How this milling cutter works - you can evaluate it in any video on youtube (or the link under the third slide).
We can say that this is a professional tool for builders. But where else can it be applied? For example, for carving bowls and sinks from wood, for creating wooden sculptures. These are also rare occupations.
There are even rarer chainsaw attachments:
Drilling with a nozzle can help in places where there is no electricity (construction of a recreation center, a hunter's house). For example, drilling for dowels. Ice-screw is very often bought by fishermen. Reviews also came across. A chainsaw outboard motor will certainly not replace a full-fledged outboard motor. But if there is a boat somewhere in remote areas near the lake, then taking a chainsaw and this fishing attachment - you can not row with oars, but move through the water with comfort. Well, it is difficult to overestimate the winch when driving off-road.
There are also very rare attachments for a chainsaw like a motor pump and a wood splitter:
The pump is also an interesting option if you need to quickly pump a volume of water where there is no electricity. And the wood splitter, in my opinion, is a dubious device. Do it faster with a cleaver. The brushcutter attachment is inconvenient because the chainsaw rests on the stomach, and does not hang on the side like a trimmer.
In conclusion, I want to show another interesting attachment for a chainsaw - a plane on a tire:
Drive from a standard saw chain. We just move the tire as close to the sprocket as possible, and put the chain on the sprocket on the nozzle and tighten it. You may need to drill an extra hole in the tire. I have never seen such attachments on sale.
If you used any of these attachments - write in the comments. Other readers will be interested to know about your experience.
