Chainsaw Chop Saw

[HoneyMonster]

I was looking for ideas on adapting a chainsaw into a chop saw type setup or the availability of any chainsaw jigs diy or purpose built for cutting large sleepers accurately. But I came across this little treasure.

I'm pretty speechless to be fair.

Excellent! Ideal for a small scale biomass coppicer!

Looks handy.

 

I saw your title and thought of something else entirely though.

 

A 'crosscut-station' is what I thought you were talking about. This cuts planked timber into length, basically a giant fixed chain-saw, hydraulically driven. Saves X cutting each piece with a Wadkin circular saw.

This is the kind of jig I was looking for, but just not with such a high price tag. I know you pay for what you get, but maybe it's something that could be fabricated?

What about one of the fixed crosscut sawhorses?

I've been looking at them for cutting small to medium thin discs accurately.

Has anyone used any of these?

There's quite a range of prices, the stihl one Stihl cross cutting sawhorse | F R Jones and Son

and the portek http://http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/forestry-equipment/sawhorses/portek-logmaster-sawhorse/

are the dearest but I guess they are more robust than the cheaper ones.

These have been posted before and I like it to be honest . Got alot of stick from the H+S conscious guys but I would use one for branch logging . Not a problem for me .
