I want to get the maximum power from my electric chainsaw. If it was a gas model, I'd simply replace the gas engine with something like a Chevy 350 V8. But this is an electric saw. I considered replacing the motor with a 5HP 240volt motor, but I found that I need 3 phase power in my house and the motor shaft is too thick to fit the pulley. To simplify this whole procedure, I was wondering what would happen if I just ran 240v to the 120v motor? I'd think that would double the power.
A real man can never have enough power. I dont know why they cant just make these things with a voltage selector that reads something like this: Power Level 1. Woman (low power) 2. Average Man (medium power for the office working man) 3. Lumberjack (full power for the man driven by pure testosterone).
