Self-Propelled Chainsaw Reduces Injuries
22 days ago
- Advoko created a self-propelled chainsaw jig to reduce fatigue and repetitive strain injuries while milling logs on-site using only a chainsaw.
- The jig features rubber belts and a carriage to semi-autonomously guide the chainsaw downhill, allowing Advoko to multitask during cuts, though it requires manual setup and operation.
- Safety features were implemented over iterations to protect the operator and equipment, with the design inspired by a need to mill a fallen tree on a slope efficiently.
