Abstract:

This paper focuses on the design and fabrication of an advanced chain saw sharpener with the ability to collect metallic dust formed during the sharpening of the chain. This chain saw sharpener is similar to the conventional chain saw sharpener but with a separate attachment. This attachment includes setup for the metallic dust collection. The dust collection can be done in two ways using a miniature vacuum machine or using an electromagnet. The attachment can be made fixed or portable as the customer opts. The cost may vary accordingly. Spreading of metallic dust to the atmosphere is not the best thing that can happen in our daily life. It is both harmful to both natures and living beings. So the attachment used in this chain saw sharpener can be of great use. Here the metallic dust is absorbed or sucked into the attachment with the help of the vacuum setup or magnetic setup used. This dust is then manually removed by the user. This reduces the spreading of the dust to the atmosphere at considerable levels.And it was thus protecting both nature and us.
