  • Patent number: 7984735
    Abstract: A portable, vehicle-towed cut-off saw for firewood and the like is herein disclosed for cutting down regular length firewood into pieces that can be used in a stove or smaller fireplace. The invention is mounted on a steel frame with two wheels and a trailer tongue that allows it to be towed by a vehicle such as an automobile, truck or all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The invention is powered mechanically by an on-board four cylinder gasoline engine which provides power via a series of belts and pulleys. The pulleys drive a large diameter circular saw blade which pivots from the bottom of a large feed table. The invention will cut wood up to 12? in diameter with one pass. The saw blade is retractable, is protected by a guard, and is only exposed when cutting wood. The invention can be towed directly to the cutting or piling site and is easily moved and operated by one person.
