Quite a difference, though. A chainsaw is one of the most dangerous portable
power tools around, while a bandsaw is not particularly dangerous (given,

Chainsaws alow for some extra dangerous usages. This summer i saw two
construction workors installing plastic water tubing and cutting the
tubes with a chainsaw. One worker kneeled on he street holding the
pipe (~10" diameter) with two hands in front of him, the other kneeled
on the street facing him and cutting the tube between the first
workers hands with a chainsaw... Neither wore any protective clothing,
face shield or ear protection.
