Chainsaw mill with lawnmower motor??

[chuck norris]

Do you think a chainsaw mill, using a lawnmower engine could work?

Because lawnmower engines are very cheap, very easy to work on and have a decent amount of power.

I am not actually thinking of doing this as I recon it would be bloody dangerous, But I would be really interested to hear your thoughts on it.

i'd say save your self alot of bother and just buy a 076 for £200/300 quid.

 

but if you got alot of time and see it as a fun project why not?

I don't think it would be fast enough to drive a chain effectively, a bandsaw blade would be more appropriate for a 4 stroke.

The 4 stroke would have a bit more torque so I would think it'll be possible to gear up the drive for the chain to achieve a respectable speed..........

Mount a large .404" sprocket on the engine and the chain will fly .

My brother uses Ford Fiesta Diesel engines to power machinery like 3ph generators.

Loads of torque and would last forever.

Go big for milling
