The video, presented by lawyer Egorov, offers two techniques for cutting logs into planks using a chainsaw. The first technique involves cutting the log lengthwise, which results in smoother and less rough cut surfaces. The method also consumes less gasoline compared to using a sawmill for a chainsaw like LOGOSOL or Alaskan mill. It doesn't require additional equipment, just a chainsaw and the right sequence of actions. The method can be used to cut logs from a variety of tree species.
The second technique involves cutting the log into boards with parallel edges and equal thickness along the entire length. The log must be fixed so it doesn't rotate, and the saw chain must be properly sharpened. The cuts should be made using the toe of the saw in wide sweeping movements, allowing the saw to cut as it wants. This method ensures that all cuts are strictly parallel to each other.
The video also discusses a problem with the MC 260 saw, which cut slower than the old 180 saw. The saw guide turned out to be useless when cutting a log with its side edge. The solution to this problem is to stop sawing with the flat of the bar and start sawing with the toe.
In conclusion, Egorov asks for advice on a reliable saw that can handle cutting a tree that is one and a half times thicker than the one he used in the video.
