Corded chainsaw

[treebing]

I want a corded electric chainsaw It seems to me, you could have a pretty powerful unit but I can't seem to find a pro electric corded chainsaw. Is that not a thing? There are stronger battery saws than the corded ones. Cutting firewood by my building in a residential neighborhood calls for electric but I'm not seeing it.

Did you see the one from Dolmar?

Stihl makes one as well

I think the limit is standard outlet amps at 15.

Edit: for spelling

If you don't mind the saw being stationary you could add a bar and chain to most any electric motor, then just bring the wood to the saw. I believe there are setups like this on certain wood processers that are ran indoors.

@treebing I have one that I don’t need. Check your voicemail

As already stated there is only so much power available, about 2hp tops when you figure in voltage drop in even a fairly short extension cord. Plus batteries have come a long way, really hard to get a solid answer out of Milwaukee but some of the engineers have said over a hundred amps peak are available. At a hundred amps this would supply about the same amount of peak power as a corded saw running with no extension cord. Then last but not least any corded saw you need to worry about cutting the cord.

I had a Craftsman corded saw for a long time. Not crazy power, but very durable.

Over the years, I've had several given to me... mostly Crapsman, Remington, etc. that I've given away. I have two that I bought, both the same model because they're the best ones I've tried, and they're not expensive. Limited to 18" bar, but with a sharp chain they cut as good as anything else. Mine have cut dozens of cords of firewood and are going strong.

Husky had a nice corded model - always wanted one, then the price went up to over $300. I'm over it now.

Build a electric chainsaw mill. Three phase 5hp motor and just figure a way to flip horizontal to vertical depending if your cutting firewood or slabs
