I was about to buy a Bosch AKE 40-19S chainsaw from SFix when I saw
that Homebase have a cheaper Bosch AKE 40S. The obvious differences
are a slightly higher motor power and chain speed on the -19 but I'm
tempted to go for the cheaper one if that's all. Has anyone here any
experience of either?

I have the Bosch AKE 40-185.

1800W 40 cms.

Does me very well for my limited use. Do buy a chain sharpener as well
because a sharp chain makes an enormous difference to the ease of
cutting.

I send my chains to a place in Lancashire. Back in 3-4 days, very
sharp, for just a few pounds.


Previously I had a B&D where you had to take a side panel off and undo a
nut with a spanner and use a screwdriver to tension the chain. Pain in
the bum.

This one has a big wheel on the side, with one part being the locking
mechanism and the other being the adjuster. Much easier.

Must slow you down if you are half way through a cutting session and the
chain needs sharpening.

I assume that you have two chains (at least) so you can use one and send
one off?

Cheers
