using an angle-grinder to cut down live Leylandii

In message , Nick Gray writes "dave @ stejonda" wrote in message ... I have an urgent need to decrease to ~7ft a line of Leylandii along one edge of my garden. Using a handsaw is good for me but takes too long. I am not prepared to spend money on a chainsaw for this single use. What would be the issues in using an angle-grinder? The sap is obviously relatively viscous and non-seepy at the moment so I wouldn't expect catching from that to be a problem. The maximum trunk diameter is probably 3". What do folks think? When you say handsaw do you mean a pruning saw or a bow saw? A good sharp bow saw should do the job as quickly and effortlessly as an angle grinder. Ahh, good point. I've been using a bow saw which was new last year. Maybe I just need to replace it/blade. I don't think I'd like to use an angle grinder - something spinning that fast at just above head level, when a large section of tree is about to land on it could mean trouble. Very true. Just had a look on the B&Q site - they have the Wilkinson Sword 21" bow saw for £9.98 wow! - thanks. Stop ****ing about and go down the local HSS and hire a proper chainsaw for the day. Proper job, loads of fun. -- nigel r1 |
