i have one already, i've used one for about 2 years, you can't beat it!

if you hold it next to a chain saw you'll see the chain is identical except some of the teeth are turned round.

i have cut through many logs and branches in some cases faster than a bow saw and much faster and cleaner than chopping!

all of this and you can sharpen it too just like a normal chain saw blade!

i got mine for free from a friend, they are fantastic!

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

this is a 16" replacement chainsaw blade

look at the shapes on the outside of the chain(the inside has triangular teeth that run over the working parts)

close up it looks like this

this is one of the sabercut teeth!

the actual cutting teeth are identical!



ONE NOTE OF CAUTION!
(i've been trained in tree felling so it would be unethical for me not to say this!)

the one down side of using any wire or chain type cutting tool is that because of the way you use it (i.e. pulling towards you) you tend to always be in the danger area (i.e. where something will drop on to you), safe practice would say you are always away from the falling/dropping side!

best advice from me is find out how to fell a tree/branch properly before you experiment!

take care, have fun, and don't kill too many trees!

 

[Greg]

OK Guys it looks like we have plenty of interest, I am working on it at the moment hopefully it won't be too long before I finalise a deal with the supplier!

 

[beachlover]

Stick me on the list too please.
I had one ages ago and regretted selling it almost immediately I let it go.

I made my own from a Makita chainsaw chain!! It works a treat, I haven't felled any trees as that isn't the way I do things, but I've cut downed trees for fire wood and it ripped through the wood like there was no tomorrow. I used a dremel to remove two links of the chain by grinding off the pins, this gave me two useable lengths of chain and I put paracord through the holes where the pins were linking the chain together. I just wrap the paracord around two sticks I find on site to form handles and cut away.

If I was at home, I'd post pictures, it wraps up and fits into an old plastic shoe polish tin!

I made my own from a Makita chainsaw chain!! It works a treat

Does it cut on both strokes or just one? As the hand one has cutting edges in both directions making it efficient to use.

 

[spamel]

I don't think it cut quite so well on the return stroke, but it still does the job and quickly too. Of course, an actual chainsaw chain will be designed to cut in one direction only!!
