    There are tons of videos of guys dropping trees of that diameter with saws like that. Whoever thought of framing that pic gets two thumbs up.

    Back in the day those saws were sometimes referred to as Misery Whips. I know I’d last maybe two strokes assuming I was still strong enough to actually pull it through a tree trunk.

    Those giant teeth and that thin aluminum skin, not the right tool for the job.

    "Cross-cut"...wait, aluminum has grain?!?

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
