The worse thing for nails is when people make a tree house and nail steps on. I had a piece of ash a few weeks ago with 27 4" nails in a 10ft length. Managed to ring it for fire wood without killing the chain. I used a ms180 slow going but cheap chain if it goes pearshaped.

Steel nails are the worst.

Wire nails will stand a tickle with the chain, making their presence known, without doing any harm a file stroke or two will not put right.

Assuming the chain was sharp and cutting effortlessly until the nail was found.

In my limited experience.

However if "horsing" the saw through the log, probably a different experience.

I'll see your steel nail and raise you with the humble screw!

Money down the drain, glad you come?

More likely a coach bolt, if in a living tree, some serious meat in them, my steel nail will concede defeat.

PS

Must go an skelp a few lengths of 10mm high yield re bar into a couple of trees I dont want felled in the next 50 years.

Even better lay a length or 3 (12,16, 32mm even?) up an down the trunk and wire into position, that should dampen the enthuasim of future chainsawers.

And wannabe bandsaw millers

tee hee

Concrete, or brick, in cavities for the win. You don't feel or hear nothing - saw stops cutting and no plating left on the top plates.
