I was a little worried about installing the blade after reading a couple of reviews. But it was amazingly easy. Took about 1 minute. Works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c . Cuts easily and is perfect for pocket cuts I needed to make for replacing some old deck boards.
That’s a serious bit of kit you have there. I’m sure you will find many uses for it. Great review and demonstration. Can’t wait to see the finished tables :-)
Thanks for showing how you set it up and especially made it so it would cut square. I was hoping to see somebody going lengthwise on a large cant of sorts so I could see how nice of a beam I could make with it.
are ripping chains available for the Prazi. Is it a standard gauge and standard pitch chain, or some special odd sizes where one must buy the chains from Prazi ?
Thanks for the video - it makes it an easier changeover. The only thing is how did you go about squaring it up? Is that information included in the manual or something that you have to figure out?
It takes a bit if fiddling around but with a square and tapping the base around you can really get it nice. I don’t think they have info in the manual but I could be wrong.
Quick question for you. Does the chain spin around the bar freely when everything is tightened down? On mine, as soon as I tighten down the bar, the chain doesn’t want to spin properly when moving it by hand. I’m Wondering if it’s damaged. Thanks for any help.
On the end of the shaft you have either a squared end or keyways that drove the original saw blade through a special washer, how does that washer on the prazi saw capture the end of the shaft so you get a positive drive?
Great review ... and yes a new sharp chain helps a lot ... but it looks like a tool worth the 100-150 US$... now 1 year after your buy ... did the tool hold the performance as you hoped ... no broken parts on the tool?
im also looking for a dedicated saw to put this on. would you recommend a sidewinder or worm drive? when using chain saws the higher chain speed cuts faster. removes chipps faster. im wondering if a 15 amp direct drive would be a better option for this what do you think?
I love this! ...but only if was on a backup Skil-Saw. You wouldn't catch me disassembling it every time needed my circular saw. ...just saying! I'd just assume go and buy the real deal if it meant I was forced to buy a completely whole other tool anyway! Fortunately, like most peeps, I do have a spare! lol. It was a great video, thank you. LUV4ALL & PEACE-OUT PEEPS!
This is the best review I could find for a prazi so far. I am interested in buying one, just not sure how well it works. I’ve seen other reviews where the results weren’t nearly as good. I’m guessing your results came down to experience and patience setting up and using the tool correctly. I grew up building on the east coast where sidewinder circular saws are mostly used. Whenever I think of a worm drive circular saw, a Skil mag is the first thing that comes to mind. Not to take away from your abilities, but I have to wonder if the Skil mag saw is the worm drive platform this attachment was originally designed for, and if getting it to work with other saws was an after thought. Again, nice work and thank you for taking the time to make and post this video.
As far as I’m aware, by the way it is designed to cut on the up stroke, that is supposed to eliminate any kickback. So you may want to cut those bits out of any other reviews you do on these. Good job explaining the workings of it though 👍🏼😊
The hole in the end sprocket of a chainsaw takes grease, not oil. You can buy a mini grease gun for a few bucks that will inject grease into there beautifully.
What are you talking about? Chainsaws use specific oil for the chain, not grease. This oil is usually brought from the bar to the teeth through little channels inside the bar.
google is your friend. I probaby can't post a picture here. look up grease gun for chainsaw. There is a little hole where the nose sprocket on the bar gets greased. The grease is for the roller bearing for the nose sprocket. Bar oil is applied from the pump on the chainsaw though the bigger hole towards the tail of the bar, and gets on the chain's drive teeth, link pins, and the bar rails that way. The sprocket takes grease. Oregon, largest chain and bar manufacturer in the USA doesn't sell those grease guns for nothing. @@beck2929
I was thinking the same that any oil contamination on your wood would deteriorate any bonding with glue and also your finish would leave some staining so you would have to be very conservative with the oil

I think that worked much better than I was expecting, wasn't really counting on such a smooth and accurate cut.
It is working great! I think with some TLC it should work well. ☘️🍺
@rawbacon How does it work with chain lubrication ?
Awesome on instructions of wedding to circular saw and what to look for.
Right On! 🙌 Thanks
Nice review of the saw. I probably need one. Thanks Jon.
Thanks Randy! I think it’s a nice addition to the shop. I was surprised on how well it worked. 👍 Not crazy heavy duty but does the job.

Outstanding review and top shelf information from the beginning to making artful cuts. Right on !
Great information. Thanks
Right On! 🙌Thanks!
That's a cool attachment. It makes a great cut. I think I need to make one of those guides for my circular saw.
Right On Ben! ☘️🙌✨ Yes that saw guide is great!
That’s a serious bit of kit you have there. I’m sure you will find many uses for it. Great review and demonstration. Can’t wait to see the finished tables :-)
Right On Terry! 👍🙌✨ Thanks for watching! These tables are coming out great!
Thanks for showing how you set it up and especially made it so it would cut square. I was hoping to see somebody going lengthwise on a large cant of sorts so I could see how nice of a beam I could make with it.
Great gizmo for the right type of job..
Right On Chuck! 👍✨ It does the job!
What’s the kerf on the chain? Is it just as wide as a regular chainsaw?
No it’s a little thinner. Similar to a small stihl chainsaw.
That's pretty slick! Nice!
Right On Vic!! 🙌☘️
Thank Ye Kindly!
are ripping chains available for the Prazi. Is it a standard gauge and standard pitch chain, or some special odd sizes where one must buy the chains from Prazi ?
Good review and I was surprised how well it worked! But I’m sure the operator had something to do with that! Thanks
Right On Tony! 👍✨
was curious as to the length of the bar,and I could adapt any chainsaw bar frpm another saw?
I have a plan to rip, rough/true 2 x 6 x 10, into 3/4 or better - siding boards. Could the Prazi serve me well for this?
Thanks for the video - it makes it an easier changeover. The only thing is how did you go about squaring it up? Is that information included in the manual or something that you have to figure out?

Doing some Timber Frame work to house , just ordered same kit , Looks like a time Saver ⚒😎 Great Review Thanks !
Right On Ted! It’s a good unit. It’s not super industrial strength but definitely gets the job done with the right setup.
Quick question for you. Does the chain spin around the bar freely when everything is tightened down? On mine, as soon as I tighten down the bar, the chain doesn’t want to spin properly when moving it by hand. I’m Wondering if it’s damaged. Thanks for any help.
Right on Right on Mr Crane! Nice Demo Vid On The Skill Saw Add On.. 👍🏼
Thanks! 👏
On the end of the shaft you have either a squared end or keyways that drove the original saw blade through a special washer, how does that washer on the prazi saw capture the end of the shaft so you get a positive drive?
Oil with Moly may protect the blade bar, and blade even more.
Great setup and review brother thanks !
Very good review but will it work on a table saw?
No one else likes this?!! I was in the middle of a nice IPA, and got quite a chuckle.

Wow yours came with a user manual. Mine came with 0 information in the box
Thank You Sir ..
You taught me 🙏💜
great review and demonstration
Right On Marcus! 🙌 I appreciate the compliment. Hope you subscribe to the channel. Thanks!
Thank you it is very helpful
txs for sharing, hope your foreman/cat is ok
Yes the foreman is doing great! 🙌✨

Right On! 👍✨🙌 Yes I think it’s best to just keep this on a saw full time. ☘️

The bar tip sprocket actually takes grease. The chain itself requires bar oil.
How is with natural tree rounds anyone knows?
Very useful
Mantap bang 😁👍👍👍
Right On! 🙌
Go to 2:28 if you already know how to open a box.
Ingeneous solution, if u havent gotta chain saw...
Good working application for that tool. I am sure you know that "silicone" and wood finish does not mix well. Enjoyed. Thanks for the look.
I was thinking the same that any oil contamination on your wood would deteriorate any bonding with glue and also your finish would leave some staining so you would have to be very conservative with the oil
Other oils are easier to wash away than silicone.
