small chain saw

@lancedal.demon.co.uk: In article , Dave Hill writes I've always gone for Sandvik they are in a class of their own, it's like a knife through butter, but it looks as if they now sell as Bahco. Oh yes mine is also Sandvik, good quality as you say. Still takes forever to cut through an old wooden cot someone gave me to use on the fire!! Janet, as a carpenter and joiner I can say yes Sandvik saws are among the best, along with Spear & Jackson and Disston(American not Canadian), but they all come in differing quality and therefore price. They all did a full range from handyman to pro. £ to ££ to £££ etc. The snag is that like all saws(hand, electric or petrol/diesal) they go blunt and need sharpening and it sounds to me that your Sandvik needs sharpening. The only exception IMO are the hardpoint(disposable). They cannot be sharpened without losing their tempered cutting edge, rendering them useless afterwards. But they are the choice of todays Joiners who earn £20 per hour and can not afford to set and sharpen a saw because it takes too long when a Bacho disposable costs £7 trade, and stays sharp for a very long time as opposed to "non-hardpoint" which would dull after an hour or two of intensive sawing. Hope this helps Baz |
