Good idea.:cheers:

i usually just use a pair of channel locks & a cordless sawzall & then
grind the burr off with a dremel. i really like your idea tho & think
ill build something similar next week.

 

High speed grinder with cutoff wheel is what I've been using. It goes super quick and can be powered off the 800 watt inverter on the truck.

 

That is what I use also. Very quick and very Conveniences. Power is always available at site.

 

I just snip them off with a good pair of lineman's.

Whats the big deal?

 

Looks like a pretty good setup to me

 

You even included a bolt to keep the shaft from spinning while you cut it. Good work Walterc!

 

great idea, you ought to hire a patent lawyer, spend aabout 25,000 on it. then hire a marketing manager (me), then start a production company, you might sell a dozen or so.:.02:

 

look at the guy who patented the magnetic jumper that we are paying
around 10 each for. bet he isnt driving a service truck anymore

 

I like it..Pops'

 

I was taught to use a 1/2" drill. Chuck the shaft up in the drill, crank it full throttle, and hold it to a stationary hack saw(clamped in a vice or clamped down with Vicegrip Pliers). Makes a very clean cut.

 

I don't have ac power on the truck and I'm usually not close to an outlet and by the time I run a cord and get a drill set up I can usually have it cut rather quickly with the hack saw.

I knew a guy that cut the shaft after the motor was installed but this might allow small chips to fall into the motor or bearing area.

I say do what ever is easiest for you, there are many good ways. :cheers:

 

I have a Dewalt 18v cordless 1/2" Drill. Much quicker and cleaner cut than using a Hacksaw by itself.
