Chain Saws

[DanS]

Yeah, that pic is actually white oak, we get it often! How many beams do you need?

I want to say Norwood can mill 20' lengths and up to 36 inch diameter if you're careful with your first cuts. I like it, but its the only mill i've run, so nothing to compare to.

Off the top of my head, 10. Easy.

These are for long term historic railcar preservation projects, so not looking for perfect grain, or anything more than white oak that I can mill down to size.

I'll send you a text message, if not now, when I get back to the US tomorrow.

Has anyone tried out one of these harbor freight electric chainsaws?

Less moving mass allows you to run it at higher speed and use far less lube.

Just like a sewing machine

Found it entertaining and maybe helpful. Also, the Motorhead cover at the end is kinda nice.

Once I adjusted my CS-590 for altitude and ported the carb a bit, I have really enjoyed using it. My friends that have borrowed it can't believe how well it runs for a HD purchased saw.

I've had an Echo CS-400 since around 2008 for smaller jobs and it's been crazy reliable. Use my Stihl for the bigger stuff, but it has been more of a maintenance hog comparatively. Both are great saws though of course.

Seems like a good saw for reasonable price. If I had to buy one, I can see myself getting a cs590.
