Its only cutting when I do the opposite, push the saw up. That tells me your chain is on backwards. There's no other reason. If it cuts, the chain is somewhat sharp.

I have had that happen, brand new chain and wouldn't cut butter. Not sure the chain is on the right way, Buy another chain you may have got one that is defective.

]]> Comment on How long does it take to cut a cord of wood? by HOOK http://w95.us/how-long-does-it-take-to-cut-a-cord-of-wood.html#comment-8458 HOOK Thu, 17 May 2012 21:13:46 +0000 http://w95.us/how-long-does-it-take-to-cut-a-cord-of-wood.html#comment-8458 OK, We are working with some variables here, Number one, how big around are the logs ? is one cutting and the other splitting,? or both cutting and then splitting. What's the cc of your saws ? In general, I myself alone, run a Husky 445 Saw, and use a 27 ton splitter, my logs are around 20" dia and I cut into 16" logs for splitting, all in all from start to finish I do a cord of wood in approx, 3 hours . My standard practice though is,, I go out and take down at any one time about 2-4 Trees, delimb them and cut the logs into 16" pieces, I then load them on a Cart and drive them to my stacking area, when my racks are full I only have the splitting remaining to do. When I stack my wood for seasoning I place the splits Bark side facing up, that way the rain water does not go directly to the wood fibre, When I stack the wood indoors it's the opposite ,Bark side down for max sir circulation, OK, We are working with some variables here, Number one, how big around are the logs ? is one cutting and the other splitting,? or both cutting and then splitting.

You are most likely to need something from the hardware store when you are fixing or building something anyway, so buy the right tool for the job at that time and sooner or later you will have a shop full of tools that are appropriate for the type of work you do. If you try to buy tools ahead of time, you may end up spending good money on tools that you may never use. If you are only going to do minor woodwork a few times, a tablesaw may more than you need. A good hand-held circular saw with the right blade can do a lot of good work in the hands of a skilled operator. However... A large sturdy workbench, good lighting, a bench vice , and a bench grinder with a wire wheel have been invaluable in my garage for years. If you must buy tools in advance, look for ones that have a lot of universal applications. It would not be wise to buy specific tools like a 2-7-32" slotted socket made only to replace the muffler bearings on a 1949 DeSoto. Oh, and don't forget the stereo, it's a must.

The Ryobi BTS20R sells for $ 199-229 depedning where you live in the country. The favorable expert reviews that its received convinced me to purchase it, and I'm glad I did. A nice feature of this saw is that its portable (has a built-in stand with wheels). To get a better saw, you'd have to spend at least twice as much - which just wasn't worth it to me.

I can also cross cut up to 12 inches. Great for angle cuts and the fine cut blade makes a smooth edge cut every time. I mainly use my table saw to rip long or large pieces of wood. As someone already mentioned you get what you pay for, it sounds like you plan on using it a lot, a good tool is an investment that will last you decades if you care for it. A miter guage also has the convience of portability. I have a dewalt compound miter guage and I can cut 4×4′s with ease. I can also cross cut up to 12 inches.
