I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
It's just 4-inch thick concrete blocks and mortar, neither of which are hard to cut. I'm curious as to how this saw would handle normal-strength reinforced concrete. P.S. "Concrete" is the product you get when you mix cement, aggregate, and water. "Cement" specifically refers to the magic powder that makes it all possible, by undergoing a bunch of exothermic chemical reactions when you add water. Those chemical reactions ultimately cause the cement to solidify, mainly due to the formation of nanocrystalline CSH (calcium silicate hydrates), which glues the aggregate together into a solid piece of concrete. That's an ultra-basic explanantion from a simple mud grunt.
If you are only planning to own one masonry cutting tool, the masonry chainsaw does it all. You can't neatly cut out for a lintel with a disk cutter or a ring saw. A ring saw would definitely do the job that I was doing in the video a lot faster but a chainsaw is a lot more versatile. Also it's way more cool!
@@BottomLineMarine yeah I was watching because we cut concrete pool decks every day and I think it would cost us more in time than the saving of the deck patch. Normally we jack hammer out the area of the deck and replace the hole with concrete when done, I figured the chainsaw would cut 90 degree corners and we could just lift the section of deck out and save it, then put it back when done.
@@joshyingling That's a tough call. I've not tried anything like that with it. I'd always wanted a masonry chainsaw as I prefer to tackle any practical jobs myself and knew I'd find loads of uses for it. If I was doing the job you're doing and wanted to remove pieces whole, I'd probably buy a ring saw and finish the corners with the chainsaw. That said, I'm a marine engineer not a civil engineer so it's only the opinion from a keen amateur.
Dude, don't stand directly behind the chainsaw, especially when starting off like that. It has a very very high chance of kicking back. Keep on the left side of it, so if it does kick back you don't get a new centre parting!

Used one today 😃 solid piece of machinery 💪🏻
I needed ear defenders on just watching
What do you do when the chain wears out? I checked and the chain is 500$?! Do you just buy many of them or?
Wish to purchace, anyone pls give more details regarding from where it can be bought. I'm from Kerala-India
What about concrete with steel bars
They'll cut through rebar, but it ages the chain.
So this is what the Chainsaw in DOOM was originally intended, designed, and made/built to be used for.
Was the wall material cement?

What is the price ?
In Italy it costs about 2.250 euros
Hearing protection?
What?
He means did you realize "oh shit this things loud"
He couldn't hear
Please send price
can you used your chain saw for cuting firewood
I do have a different chainsaw that cuts firewood but this one only cuts walls.
Better off with a regular 14 inch saw. Looks like

@@BottomLineMarine hmmmm that may work well. Now to get it approved by the finance team... haha
Might work to make the more demanding cut with the circular saw up to the corner and then use the chain saw to square what’s left below the surface.
Respirator, you don't want it in your lungs 🫁
Supar video. M. R. P. Pls
I glued all my wife’s diamonds to my chain….and wow it didnt work
Can it be used for tree cutting
No.

Have you ever used a masonry chainsaw?
No, didn't think so.
@deanbolton3228 you obviously can't read.
its not going to kick back if you tip in correctly kick back happens when you try to cut with the very tip of the bar
Et him learn the hard way, just wait for it to hit rebar!
To costly to run
It's 'too' not 'to'
