Saw Sizes - Model
I have a Stihl MS361 (Now discontinued). I am very happy with it but have
started enjoying working larger pieces. Curious which saws people like for ripping larger pieces, up to 24" in length. I used a larger Husqvarna saw and it really went through the logs with ripping (Not sure of the model). I had looked at possibly 440 in Stihl or larger. Just curious what others are using. Since many other non woodturners don't rip logs just wanted some woodturners opinions. Thanks! |

I did some log cabin work a number of years ago, and used an old Pioneer saw. I used a ripping chain, and the cut was very good and very fast. The cuttings were flying from the chain bar like so much fettucini. In essence, a rip chain has its depth control rakers ground way down, so the teeth can take a very agressive cut. It is my belief that if the engine has decent power and the chain is very sharp, you will do well. tom koehler -- I will find a way or make one. |
