Default Advise on driving an 18" circular saw blade

Chain saws electric or gas also need chain
sharpening which I would like to avoid.


Not trying to be a jerk here. But, you're going to have to sharpen that
18" saw blade too, unless you just intend to run it dull and then burn
it up. I'm with the rest of the folks here, get yourself a small chain
saw, unless you are after doing it the way Great Granpappy did it,
belted up to a small gas engine.

And that must be a Fairbanks-Morse single cylinder, hit and miss; or
alternately, mount the blade in place of a rear wheel on a Model "T"
drive line.
