Initially, using the lathe, we made an axis, on which 12 small chains were placed. These chains are similar to the ones used for cutting the trees with the only difference that the ones that we used are very tiny. We also made a metallic box having both an entrance and exit and it covers the chains and the axis that is supported by two bearings located at the sides of the metallic box.

Finally, connecting the angle grinder on the axis, the axis with the chains revolves with 11000 spins (rpm) and the chain’s teeth cut any wooden item inserts in the metallic box and because of the speedy spinning the wooden object exits like a sawdust.
