go to see Welding Machine for Big Chain Saw

Notice that he starts out with NO Hearing or breathing protection.Weldandpower Lincoln 225 AC,DC with Briggs 16hp gas engine.WW2 era Miller TIG.
Reply:Also, no gloves, no protective equipment, and worst of all, no chain brake on the saw.That much power with that long of a bar is a recipe for kickback - especially since he couldn't cut all of the way through on one pass and the nose is doing some of the cutting.Oh, well.

Reply:i have never heard of breathing protection for running a saw.thermal arc mst400, va4000 feeder, lincoln 175 min, victor torches, miller s32p feeder, air arc k4000 for work.
Reply:" Breathing protection'.... I mentioned that because I assume this is not in the United States... that large a tree might be one of those which are really bad to breath any dust from...and you see right at the start that with the saw that high the sawdust is coming right at his face...Weldandpower Lincoln 225 AC,DC with Briggs 16hp gas engine.WW2 era Miller TIG.
Reply:My father had an old David White that had a bar so long it had handles for another man on the end of the bar..two man chain sawAnd leaving the boom on the tractor raised up while on one is on it isn't a real bright eitherespecially while sitting on a hill like thatBacked my CATMA over your CARMA oops clusmy me  What would SATAN do ??

Reply:what a waste of money. Companies pay big money for logs that big. Old growth tables, counters, doors, etc. come at a premium. Hacking it appart like that was a waste. safety and all aside.

Reply:The old big saws do not spin nearly as fast as the newer saws so the kickback is much less violent, its more of a push than a whack,( think shooting a 300WSM vs an old black powder rifle) The saw never came with a chainbrake and with the chain speeds that it had it wasnt that big of a deal.As for the waste, I believe that log was being split so that it could be milled into boards/planks. It first had to be split or quartered so that it could fit in his mill. If you watch his other videos he does have a bandsaw mill and cuts custom lumber

Reply:i would hope that this is being done to sell fire wood.  Because if it was to just go in the fire pile why cut it up like that?  Just push it in and let it burn.  Too much like work to me.
Reply:The blue stain is most likely due to metal imbedded in the trunk.  That is what steel does inside a tree (especially acidic oak), which is probably why they were pointing it out.  You want to avoid that with the saw...-DaveXMT304 with: 22A Feeder, or HF251 Hi Freq DC TIG air cooled

Reply:Originally Posted by Oldiron2The Stihl 90 came in either direct drive or a 'slower' geared version but it also had bigger chain and cutters so it could grab harder too. Kickback is a matter of not controlling the direction of the forces all the time, and that can happen with any saw, the 90 included. I once did some machine work on one, and still have part interest in it, theoretically.As for the milling, the first part of the video shows him removing what appears to be sections of good wood from the top end; I'd have expected the grain from that area to have been rather pretty, and the thin cuts would have been useless except perhaps for building doll houses or making chess pieces.Did you notice the blue area on the top end of the truck just before it was being split? That, and some other spots shown later inside the trunk appeared to indicate fungal growth to me. The first could have been from exhaust if the mix were too rich and he'd been cutting at a different angle, but with the long crosscut he'd needed to sever the end, that's doubtful.
Reply:My kickback comment has to do with the overall chain speed in general. The 090 spun at most 8-9500rpm's and spun a big chain fairly slowly compared to todays saws which are spinning from 13-16k and pull a smaller chain at a much higher speed. Its the higher speed which makes the kickback much more violent and harder to control than the 090
