i got someone i need to bring down to size, thought the chainsaw would be a great start....

ok.... ok...

so i really neede on to chop the fire wood that we have at home in half.. it's too big for the fire place ( ok for th eold house.. but this one is SMALL..

so we have dry, split fire wood... needed to be hacked in half..

anyone got a small chainsaw petrol/electric ? :whocares:
as long as it is sharp... i have beer and don't expect me to sharpen it afterwards.. i'll pay for it to be sharpened if you want..

we need this asap....

Cutting firewood in half is REALLY dangerous. Bits are to short to hold far enough away from the saw to be safe. ie the saw is always going to be close to your foot, hand, leg or something else you dont want to hit with a saw. The bits dont have enough weight to stay still while your cutting them either. I operate saws for a living and wouldnt risk doing it like that. saw cuts are like gunshot wounds, see a few of them and you gain new respect for them

You need to get a big table saw to do it or your really likely to have a life changing accident.

Heres a light nip

gotta say i agree with timber.........really dodgy use of chainsaw. And I too use saws for a living. I would use a table saw or even better a big dropsaw or radial arm saw. At least then the wood will stay still against the fence while it is being cut.
good luck... i am too far away to be any further help

I would be inclined to make up a cutting stand (like the ones that are used in the chainsaw manuals for cutting small lumps of wood)

You asked for a solution for your problem, people offered you smarter and safer alternatives.

You probably know how to operate a chainsaw in the same way my nephew thinks he can ride a motorbike because years ago he rode a JR50, but hes hardly ready to borrow my fireblade.

So forgive us for trying to help you out, you dont even know enough to know you dont know enough, so someone has to look out for you, as your probably not qualified to do it yourself in all circumstances. Or do you lend out your bike to anyone that ridden a bike before?

You probably dont because you understand that unless a person has alot of experience at a certain level, then lending them your buell on the rimutakas would be irresposible and potentially dangerous. Same with us and our saws.

Timber020
30th June 2009, 20:49
PS my dads used saws most of his life (farmer) and hes such a fucking menace I wont let him near one on our job sites. I give him lessons any chance I get. It wasnt until his best mate put one through his face that he really started to listen. EVERYONE who can start one thinks they can use a saw, but most are just comparitively scooter riders playing with R1's, the accident is just a matter of time.

Orchadest wraped himself round a PTO shaft next door, he had growen up on a farm, had 30 years of opperatting tractors and implements, even so he is still crippled because he was not as good as he thought he was.

People who use chainsaws for anything more than hack value know what they can do you see...

ohhh Timber, the grumpy old git is having us all on... as for lending his bike out... well he gave it to me once, no questions asked and i cant ride for shit... however thats a shit load beter than he can ride which intern is a crap load beter than he can use a chain saw... ahhh hell AJ's screwed

I would like to know who would outright lend a chainsaw? I would bring the saw round and do it but NEVER 'lend'?

davebullet
30th June 2009, 22:08
Grandad taught me 2 things.

1. Never lend another man your chainsaw
2. Never lend anothre man your wife

In that order too.

Chainsawing small bits are ok. You just need to make sure the log is hard up against the chain guard first then bite the chain into the timber. It won't fly back. Worst case, the chainsaw leaves your hand and rides up over the log away from you.

Couple of splitting wedges and good size mallet , You will achieve more. Then you will have split firewood muscles and blisters.

I think he means the wood is split but to long to fit in his fire so it needs to be cut across the grain...

The Jreds are great saws, I run mainly stihls but have 8 huskys/jreds, the airfilter system is FAR superior. My 3120 is just getting warmed up when both my 88's start chocking on the chips and loosing power.
