My wife accuses me of never wanting to throw out anything. And she's right. Lots of excess parts & equipment in my workshop/brewshed/garage. I usually hang on to things well past their useful life, just because I might be able to figure out a use for them. Someday.
Like a B&D 7 1/4" circular saw, with a bent up shoe, a broken guard, and something wrong with the height adjustment so the blade was permanently stuck on 2". I don't use it for cutting anymore, but the motor is still in fine condition.
If I could pop some rivets and dismantle the saw, I know I could use the motor for something in my brewshed. Power for a grain mill is the only thing I could come up with, but that might be too much torque and I'd really have to come up with a good design. And a grain mill.
Any thoughts on how I could repurpose this perfectly good motor?
