many thanks

NPTC website will give you the information.

As CS30 is cross cutting and you are shown how to cut timber up to twice the guide bar length then this should be your guide. Remember there is nothing stopping you putting a larger bar on a saw and using that.

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

"Unit 30..2 Crosscut and stack small diameter timber using a chainsaw

For cross cutting there must be sufficient timber on site for cross cutting and at least one piece of timber must have a diameter of 200-380mm (8”-15”) to accommodate a boring cut to sever log

8. Crosscut timber under guidebar length to a given specification."

 

The above is all taken from the NPTC CS30 Assessment Schedule on theri website.

 

In summary it would indicate that 380mm (15") is the max. size of timber to be cross-cut under a CS30 ticket. However, as we all know and all do, much larger timbers are cut in reality.

 

Consider obtaining CS32 would be my advice which states:

"Crosscut stems over guidebar length in diameter to a given specification."

 

Hope this to be of use.

 

Cheers..

Sensible advice, dont get ideas above your station, do it right.

The old chainsaw ticket never really specified max tree size just bar length, i know there are inherant difficulties with big sticks, but lets face it, when we did 39 it wasn't up a 100 foot redwood was it?
