Some electrical parts have been changed to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility-requirement. One word about chainsaws, i'm an absolute fan of stihl, but for lightness, husqvarna can't be beaten. I planned to sell this machine when I'm done with the barn, but I might have to keep it just because it is so well engineered. We illustrte in our present issue a machine which has apt I y been said to be an invention as revolutionary as that of the band saw. America has been pre-eminently a wood-producing country, and has brought sh a ping, planing an d m wing machinery into the greatest perfection.

The chain rotates with high velocity, and a deep mortise is made in the hardest wood, complete and ready for gluing in one or two seconds. The work table on its front is adapted to be placed at different angles, so that the mortises can be made in any desired direction.but can never find much info, Eventually I wont to build my own home with log posts and sawn timber for the frame.

I am making a couple of timber frames shortly, and have about 120 mortises to cut in green oak beams of either 175 x 175 or 150 x 150 cross section. I had pondered a sword saw for the tenons, but these are really just a glorified chain saw (limited to 200mm cut) and as I already have a couple of those I think I can cover the tenons and general dimensioning with a big circular saw and a chain saw. Can’t help but think that if they take that path we will miss the opportunity to learn something interesting, just saying that doing things in the “correct way” not always gives the community the best results, experimentation is the key to learning. One issue I’ve noticed with it is that as you are plunging the chain into the wood, the bar will kick away slightly, like maybe a tad over 1/16″.

It requires way to much force to be applied to the small locking lever to hold when applying the locking lever. If the mortise is not big enough for the saw then I repeat drill out the mortise to depth and then chisel out. I’ve watched videos of it in action but it’s very hard to tell if there’s any side movement there or not. Get a Makita chain morticer and sell on when you're done - you'll struggle to find a pillar drill and morticing bit that'd make a typical mortice for an oak frame - (say 40 wide, 150 long and 100 deep in a 200 x 200 beam or post! No branch of mechanics has received greater develop ment in the U n itled States than t h at which relates to woodworking.

To use the attachment place the sharpened tynes onto the timber and engage full throttle - peak revs.
