I have been gathering parts for my firewood processor and am about to build the saw. The only pump I have available to test the saw motor with is my 28gpm 2stage on my current splitter. I eventually plan on purchasing a 30gpm pump just for the saw motor, but for now what I have is what I have. Since these 2stage pumps have a low and high, flow/pressure I am just wondering if it is possible to turn up the highflow/low pressure to where it would produce high flow and high pressure.(1500psi) The pump is new and I dont want to screw it up by turning the pressure up to high on the high flow side of the pump.
My current plans are to use a pulley ratio to get the chain to turn the rpms I am looking for, but thought I would try the motor directly hooked the the saw to see if it might possibly turn fast enough to give me the cutting speed I am looking for. I dont think it will, but would like to just try it before I start a lot of time consuming and expensive fabricating to build the pulley system.
