Wimp, mine is about 5", but was only done with an 023. Right across the top of my knee. Hurts more when they are cutting the jagged flesh off the edges of the cut at the hospital.
Plunge cuts are fine Winstone, for someone who has done a few. Tis the only way to see how rotten some natives are on the inside.
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
Learned genulmen, having at me stump with the chainsaw is just a thought. Yup, plunge cut would be quick & easy but also dangerous. The saw would skitter about badly until I got a decent bite into it. Put's me off a bit. No doubt not the best thing for me wee saw, either.
I plunge cut some holes into big fence posts to build a locking retaining wall, no dramas, but that was treated pine. Quite surprised at how accurately & delicately a saw can be used with a bit of thought.
Every time I pick one of them up the Husqvarna dealers words ring in my ears. "You can't stitch mince". I always wear me chaps, hemlet, eye protection ect. ATGATT even in the garden.

...any high speed, motorised, on a bench, in your hands tool is much like riding a motorcycle...if you take your mind off the job in hand then what happens next is up to the tool, ...sometimes you are lucky sometimes you are fucked...keep your mind on the job at all times...

There is no other saw. Got five of them with my brother. Hard care saws.
I used to think that too, but I like my huskys just as much now. Especially when buying spare parts.![]()

Good. What we are taiking about is the danger of chainsaws kicking back. It isn't funny or something you try and see. Kickback is brutal. Either the saw kicks up and the chainbrake stops the chain, or the operater pulls back the saw into his lower leg. Its a nasty wound.
Experienced people know this so we joke about injuries but chainsaws are tigers and a little bit of fear is very healthy. Take care.
I'm a chef & spend a lot of time working very quickly with very sharp or very hot things in me hands. There is only one way to do this unscathed and that's the right way. Obey the Golden rules & all is well & efficient.
Slowly getting their with me Solo, which I'm loving.
I need to prune a Monkey Cherry tree, the trunk forms three smaller trunks which I need to cut off. It's a bastard job for me, no experience, but I think I have it figured out and will get my friendly, local chainsaw instructor to look over my shoulder while I do it.
He can also get his behemoth husky 69cc light sabre into some more of me Wattle. Perhaps I can? That's a cool thought.

1. Thats no hemoth. Me mann up the road got his sel' a ms880.
...120cc motherfucker. Shit will fuck trees up for days.
2. Larger saws are no more dangerous.
3. The tip is the only part that causes kickback. Infact the top 90¤ radius. If youre a professional bad ass, which i clearly am, you can start a plunge cut with it, as long as you keep the point (where chain changes direction) uninvolved till last.
I highly dont recomend it, but shows what can be done with care.
4. Do it pussy.
