I have been looking for a big chainsaw to cut down my time on cutting up blanks.

I think this will do it...might be a little difficult to always need another big guy to trim up the blanks. Could also be a little challenging to trim the corners of the blanks too. Maybe you could hold the blank and not the saw :) Might also annoy the neighbor when you fire that baby up at 7:00 on a Sunday morning right next to his window. Makes electric look a little whimpy...I guess I'll have to upgrade too!

Once you get that saw running, you will have to put a V8 on your lathe - that would be exciting!

this saw might may be too small for the Paul Bunyan types but go on and buy one anyway , as long as it is not my money
