Mini circular bench saw from scrap

Mini circular bench saw from scrap

Try to salvage little electric motors from scrap, because you can usually find a way to reuse them. I don't remember where this motor comes from, I've got it many years ago when I used to dismount everything I bumped into, anyway when I found it the other day I immediately pictured a small bench saw to cut metal. Not wood, because motor has a belt and a ratio so that the gear turns at a speed of about 20 turns/sec which is good for metal, bricks, stones but wood needs very fast speed. To cut steel these materials you can use a disc grinder, so I bought a pair of discs to apply to my motor.
