My dad bought a trimmer once and it came with a circular sawblade like that. The protector was made out of aluminum instead of plastic for obvious reasons, and it was recommended to never use it higher than the waistline or for branches thicker than 2 inches, for kickback prevention. It was very useful for cutting the undergrowth in the forest, for clearing cross-country skiing and hiking trails

I use a 10" (255mm) blade on my brush cutter (a converted weedwhacker like shown in the video) at work, which I use for clearing overgrown roads and trails. I can clear woody vegetation up to 2" (5cm) without breaking stride (HINT -- with a blade this size hit anything under 3" (8cm) quick and fast like using a scythe; don't "saw" through), and to 4"+ (10cm) with little difficulty. Been doing so for over 5 years. Even to the point of breaking blades, which just fall straight down and stop with no fanfare. And yes, I've hit rocks, and had some of the carbide tips fly off. No big deal -- it has everything to do with the distance the blade is from you and angle the blade is rotating. Due to proper design, both are as close to ideal as possible in a real-world setting. Sure, there are things one must keep in mind while using, and there is a certain skill set that develops for safe and efficient use, but it is no more dangerous than any other piece of equipment that has the potential for such destruction.

Fantastic demonstration and at last! Real BLOKES’ Music! Superb!

Perfect for a Sunday drive.

All I can think of is how fun it'd be to mow down zombies with that.

We used one of these for clearing brush out . Very handy for trimming small branches and sappling through a woody area. These are no more dangerous than a brush cutter blade with 4 prongs on which you buy from stihl for example. When me and my dad used these we just had a rule which was to approach each other facing the operator and not to assume we had seen each other. We used to give a thumbs up to say we had seen. Nothing worse than seeing people walk up behind the operator of these and stand there. Lets face it even grass wire will cut you to the bone. Always anticipate him spinning round to sweap the brush.

like I said, this guy makes apocalypse machines. he's the guy to know and be around when the world ends

I’ve been doing this for the last 10 years. Works great!

Just be aware, without proper guards on a circular saws carbide tips can fly off and become very dangerous. As a former owner of a sharpening service I was constantly replacing tips on carbide blades. They will break and fly off if especially contacting rocks, concrete or or metal debris.

OMG people! They sell blades for trimmers, always have. The blades you buy for a circular saw are no different, other than price and arbor size. If you have the correct arbor size it is no more dangerous than the factory brand.

I have used various 7 1/4 inch carbide saw blades on my brush cutting trimmer for years. They work great going through brush and small trees.

Good day, and thanks for the video, i have a Chinese trimmer and when i try to start put out too much gasoline from the exhaust, do you have any idea what happened?

Hell yea! Work smarter not harder!

I use that setup too. Works excellent. Would not recommend it in a machine with the spring type shaft. Use with solid shaft.

Pro tip: Don't forget to check the direction of spin before attaching the blade!

You need to use the guard to buck the piece you are cutting! McCulloch setup includes a new guard with a bucking arm opposite the trimmer shaft. You can bury the blade w/o any kind of kick back. The bucking arm is best in the front position.

I love it. Got to try it

nice! i think, it cuts wood faster than a cahainsaw

I did this for years using circular saw blades on an Echo SRM 410U cutting down brush, saplings and trees up to 6" in diameter. Works great. I started doing this before these kinds of blades became available after having made a special washer to enable the saw blades to fit. And I know that the circular saw blades are not recommended for the RPMs these brush saws are rated for but I never had a problem. Never used a guard either. Experimentation indicated to me that it was more dangerous than not having one as you're always trying to maneuver around the guard. The frustration of doing so may cause you to lose your footing and be injured in a fall. Not from getting hit by the blade which is three feet out in front of you. Never even came close to having a problem except when an rare chunk of cut wood would be kicked back and hit me in the shin. Hardly even a bruise.

Essa serra circular serve em roçadeira FS160 da sthil?

I've been using this arrangement for several years now. It works great but it is very dangerous so the extreme care and safety is a must. Small tree saplings and bush undergrowth can't stand a chance, it cuts them even with the ground specially using carbide blade.

Great zombie weapon!! Noisey but great.

I’ve done this for years. Learned a few things that are a must. 1- don’t use a cheap brand blade. I’ve had them rip apart and send a third of the blade flying across my yard. 2- don’t allow ANYONE near while using in case the blade blows out (see #1 ^) 3- keep the blade as far from you as possible. 4- don’t force it or allow it to get pinched. Take your time and it will cut under brush and small saplings (up to 2” diameter) as easy or easier than the string cuts tall grass 5- wear sturdy long pants. NO SHORTS! This combination can be WICKED. Be careful! P.S. I generally use a 21 tooth carbide tipped blade. I’ve tried several sizes and the 21 tooth blade worked best for me.

Nice video 👍

I've used circular saw blade on weed eaters (brush trimmers) for 30+ years maintaining 1-1/2 acres of rocks with very heavy grass and brush. I've found that it is 10-20 time faster than with a string trimmer (the most powerful string trimmer I could buy). I also found that the fewer the teeth the better and that carbide is a waste of money. I occasionally hit up a carpenter friend for old skill saw blades. They get ground down to nothing on the rocks in a few months but I don't care because they are free.

I use a circular wood saw blade for years now to trim overgrown brushes and brambles, but only during wet season, dry season only Nylon Tooth Wire to avoid sparks that can cause fires.

I like this kind of innovative idea.

They could make a horror movie with this thing.

You can buy an application like this original from Stihl as well! But its a good idea to use a Circular Saw blade

I had a Yardworks electric string trimmer that wouldn't feed anymore. I managed to fit a small steel 4 1/4" blade in place of the bobbin and it works great at brush trimming and small branches. Lots of fussing to get the right spacers/washers but worth the effort'

Better than buying a chain saw, good idea dude!!! 👍😁👍😁

Wonderful 👍... HOW many volt machine?

Around 1980, I had a gizmo made by Stihl - that was called the Brushette. It consisted of a belt driven head and extension assembly, which attached to my 16" chainsaw - replacing the cutter bar. It was a string trimmer, a triangular blade that was good for small brush, and a saw blade like the one in this video. It worked pretty good, but had several drawbacks: 1) it was heavy, 2) because it used a belt it would sometimes slip/stall, and 3) the change-out was a chore. Nevertheless it worked pretty well. My biggest problem was started the darned saw. By the time I got it running (no matter which bar or attachment I used) I was so tuckered out that I didn't have enough energy to work very long.

LOL I had a coworker who did this and almost cut his foot off. It ripped right through his tennis shoe and cut into his foot. He lost some meat and his foot has never been the same since. He walks with a limp now. It's a great idea for tree limbs. Just be careful if you're going to use it near the ground. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

Hi sir!! Can I install this blade on my 128LD

to improve it , especially in green timber , try using a blade with less teeth .

Use a Stihl clearing saw blade designed for the job. Similar to a circular saw blade except they have don't have carbide teeth. They'll take the high rpm without shattering, which is what tends to happen with circular saw blades. You also need a more powerful machine - Stihl FS4600 series or above. And fit the correct metal guard. Perfect for small saplings. Useless on grass

Hi bro!! Could I install this blade on Husqvana 128LD

Sweet deal! I'm doing this today , man they make specific blades for trimmers equally as " dangerous " just pay attention and your sweet

A little less crazier than the one that shows a bike chain as the "string". At least the Blade shouldn't fly off as long as the nut is tightened right. Those chains could let go at any time. Any "kick-back" is negligible or less of a worry because of a 4 foot pole between you and the blade. Not like with a chain saw where you have next to no clearance between you and the chain should there be "kick-back". As long as you don't "let go" of the weed eater, your fine. I wouldn't suggest it for "overhead" work, straight out & stumps of the right size. I could see that with no problem.

What is the part number and does all the bolts and washers come with tge blade?

Hoo boy. Cutting anything above knee height with this setup is asking for serious injury or worse. With any brush trimmer, cut low, slow, use more eye protection (goggles + mesh guard, like he has on), and proper footwear (i.e., not canvas sneakers). Better still, gloves and long sleeves (little bits of brush can hit your exposed arms hard enough to hurt). As to cutting through branches: even at ground level, anything more than a few inches in diameter calls for a chain saw (or sharp hand saw, if you're up to it). Just because this blade/trimmer combo *can* cut thicker wood, doesn't mean it is safe to do so. Certainly, never overhead. As another commenter below mentions, there are pole saw attachments that are essentially a small chain saw to go at the end of the pole. Very efficient. Much safer than what this gentleman is doing. I'm not lecturing, just want to be sure we all practice safe cutting and minimize risk.

Beware if using to cut brush at ground level .hitting a stone or rock or tee post will result in the blade shedding a tooth or two which may or may not imbed itself in your leg
