Although the machines available in market are of reasonable quality, we were facing problems in one of thefactories I worked for. No machine would last more than one year; these are made from plastic, sheet metal,puter or aluminum etc., which makes them disposable. The machines available are more delicate and could notstand the rough use which is a habit of the less skilled workers of third world countries.Problems faced were; broken handle, broken switch, frequent consumption of carbon brush, damaged armature.Most of these machines are designed with integrated motor with bevel gear-set which also was frequent sourceof down-time.We decided to have more rugged machine to serve our purpose. No such machine was available in the localmarket, that compelled us design and fabricate a machine for our use. If you intend to fabricate a machineyourself the following pages will guide you do that. Those who go for such a venture should respect local lawsand regulations governing the manufacture and use of cut-off saw.Syed Jaffer00

I withheld the dimensions hoping some day I will be able to sell this book. I will put the dimensions but it will take a lot of time redrawing the whole book. I will try to do it as soon as possible.
