I recommend a Makita, the long one. This was the best in a test in Europe
and it's reasonable priced.
Unfortunately I've bought a rather expensive1800W electric Husqvarna for
roughing out blanks. I thougt the Husqvarna gas saws are fantastic, so the
electric will be the same, but it's terible. It's always giving trouble with
the chain tension and has been back 2 times for major problems, within 1
year. 9 out of 10, the tension varies from rather loose to rather to
tensioned, within 1 rotation.

I've had some cheap one's who lasted a year or so but there is also a very
old Makita, without chainbreak, it just won't give up, even with a poor oil
pump, very cheap for the oil but a bit unsafe.

My family all owns Stihl for gas saws, but I want an electric! Used a
Remington electric 20 years ago, but only long enough for about five
face cords. Not long enough for any problems to show up...

I like to turn outside on the deck now that the weather has cooled off,
and I need to cut a bunch of bowl blanks soon...
