V8 Chainsaw (Predator) by Rotax Robert

Rotax Robert · 14th June 2007, 11:11 PM

I think it was 1.5 or 1.6 thru a 32"+ log

Ekka · 14th June 2007, 11:14 PM

That's larger than normal log right?

When you win what do you get, like prize money, maybe $1K or more or less?

Or maybe bugger all but a shiny trophy.

Have you pulled down the engine since you built it?

Rotax Robert · 15th June 2007, 03:16 PM

Normaly we shoot for 30" diameter, this one was 32+ but I did not get a chance to measure circumference as I usualy do to get a true volume of wood. This show you just get a trophy as all the $ goes to Busted up Loggers.

I bet you have a shelf full of trophies then.

What about Guiness Book of Records, you in there yet?

Rotax Robert · 15th June 2007, 08:58 PM

Heck, they don't have a class for saws as I could see.

I'm in the process of putting a vid together, but here's a classic off the net to let those of you who don't know of him and his saw what it's all about.

I believe he's a machinist/engineer bloke for Boeing, so has the techno skills for building a monster like this with accuracy and fine tolerances. I believe he had to build many components including the bar etc ... aint no saw shop helping you out here.

Enjoy, and Rotax, keep winning.

Oh, and here's his most serious competitor, the Binford saw.

Sorry, missed this one. 13k in the engine would hate to pay the bill for all the hours though.
