F R Jones have got the MS181 at not much more than the Husky - I can specify a 16" bar too - is it worth going for a longer bar?
I can deal with them face to face as they're reasonably local and they look like a good dealer too.

Thank you all for you valuable advice - particularly about the safety side too - the thought of using one of these machines with sharp teeth scares me too - hence my query. I cant understand why the DIY sheds sell these things as if they were selling a cordless drill - and they are dangerous enough in the wrong hands. I'm planning to buy from a proper retailer that insist on some basic training and advice.

hello,
I'd like to upgrade my Village Blacksmith electric saw to a good "domestic" one to cut logs for my burner. I've dismissed the £99 toys int he DIY stores and supermarkets, and am tempted by a Husky 237 or 240 (£170 / £180). Happy to consider another good brand. Do you think that the 240 would be suitable for small trees say up to 12" diameter - I guess I'll probably use it for a day or two a year.
Also any advice on how to use one - I thought I'd ask before using one and getting it wrong. Any advice would be much appreciated - thank you.
Beginner looking for saw and advice
in Chainsaws

Thank you all for your excellent advice. My only experience of chainsaws is the electric one I've used, which is a very good electrical one, and one I'd continue to use, but the oiling mechanism has failed and I can't get parts. My only other experience was in Italy where I've watched people use large professional chainsaws with no more protection than a cotton t-shirt! - I certainly don't want to emulate them. I think a trip to FR Jones is called for. Thank you, just need to find a good supply of wood now.
