question about cutting logs with chainshaw?
I have a craftsman 42cc-18 inch chainsaw. My boss cought his tree down and gave me the trunk pieces that he cut down. They range from 2 feet wide ,3 feet high to 8 inches high, 1 foot high. I just got a blade for it. I set tension and it has an automatic lube. I read the book for the chainsaw and followed the directions, but after cutting 2 logs that were 8 inches high, 1 foot high the blade dulled out on me. It just will not cut anymore. I dont understand what I did wrong. I did not overload the chainsaw. Also any tips on cutting real big tree trunk pieces.
I use a chainsaw a lot and usually on oak wood, which is much harder than pine. A sharp, or new blade will stay sharp for several days, if not longer, with care. If you hit a rock, or anything metal (nails, fence wire), with the blade while it is running, the blade will dull immediately. A lot of sand on the logs will also dull the blade, and wear out the guide slot on the bar.
A chainsaw is a cross-cut saw. That is it cuts well across the grain, but very poorly with the grain of the wood.
All the saw does is spin the blade. You can cut a log twice the length of the bar/blade, or in your case up to 36 inches in diameter easily (I know it is hard work).
When cutting large logs, I cut at least half way through the log, then roll it over to finish the cut. If you can roll the log onto a smaller log, to hold it off the ground, you can cut all the way through.
