A 480 volt electric saw, WOW You got any pics of that bad boy. Would be neat to see.Howdy Folks,
24 foot long stacks of wallboard off our longboard reject. We was using a 480 volt Holtec (i believe) saw with a bar over six feet long to do it. I walk past it everyday at work, I'm 6 foot 6 with my boots on and I have to look up to see the top. So its probably longer than 6 feet. I have had to repair the chain a few times and also make new loops for it. .404 round chisel stihl is what they bought for it. It don't work to good but it will cut it. I just drag them out with my fork truck whole.

Did it trash the chain?Split this 16 penny nail lengthwise in an old elm abuot 15 years ago.
LMAO, That a misprint or did you do something bad.Wood 55 gallon whiskey barrels, why? To make planters for my bitter half.
Cut like 5 of em, and I swear I was getting a buzz!
My knee, and I've always thought it would be cool to attack a bonfire with a saw, or maybe get somebody else to do it for me so I can watch, and not wity my saw....
....any takers?
LOL, Not while the fires going.......I hope. Could get nasty quick.
Background: After high school I spend several months cutting fish at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center in Nags Head, NC. During that time we cut mostly tuna, and dolfin, with a few sharks thrown in. We'd cut the fish in the evening when the boats came in, and the next day a truck from a cat food plant would show up and we'd load the guts, etc. into the truck in 4x4x4 vats for cat food.
Event: One day, we had a boat come in with a 1000+ lbs blue marlin. They usually tag and release these (apparently, they are not good eating), but this one got tail-wrapped with line and drowned. (Yes fish can drown...) They brought in the Marlin and hung it up on the rack and took photos etc. It stayed up on the rack until late that night when we finished cutting, then we were told..."before you go, you gotta go cut down that marlin..." Grudgingly, but somewhat excited we cut it down, loaded it into the pickup (it stuck out of the back of an 8' bed about 4 ft!), and took it back to our large walk in freezer and left it next to the totes full of that night's guts, etc. to be dealt with the next day.
Next day: We come in and start the day, and the cat food truck shows up. We start loading the scraps and realized that there is no way we can load up the marlin. It was 1000+ lbs, 10-12' long. After debating how to deal with this someone mentions, "...If we had a chainsaw, we'd be ok..." My boss says there is one in the shed. I won the rock-paper-scissors contest, and got to run the saw. This was my first time ever using a chain saw!!! It was an old echo with a 12-14 inch bar.
I'll set the scene...my co-workers were dragging the full-size marlin out of the freezer on to the deck while I was getting a crash course in chainsaw use from our maintenance guy. As you can imagine, a 12' long, 1000+ lbs marlin draws quite a crowd of tourists opcorn: anywhere it goes, so by the time I stepped out of the cutting house there was quite a crowd. I was wearing my orange Grundens and had a pair of goggles on my head, with a chainsaw in my hand.
I stepped up to the marlin, pulled on my goggles and pulled the starter rope. It sprang to life and I revved the saw for a few seconds and immediately plunged the 12" bar into the side of the marlin, as blood, guts, and flesh started spraying onto my Grundens. Surprizingly, a chainsaw does not cut through mushy, marlin flesh as fast as you want it to when you are cutting it into 7 separate pieces to load it onto a truck (it took about 15 minutes). As I was acting like the texas-chainsaw-massacrer...the tourists were starting to turn green...one little asian girl, sitting on her dad's shoulders, puked on his head. Others turned away in disgust, but for us it was bloody-stinky-nasty business-as-usual. The crowd disappeared faster than it had gathered.
After I finished cutting up the marlin, we dragged the 200 lbs. chunks of marlin up the loading ramp and man-handled them into the vats.
For me this was 2 things...my very first chainsaw experience and my strangest chainsaw experience.

I used the little 009 to cut a hole in my roof for a turbine vent. Any rough and nasty carpentry cutting I usually do with an old bar and chain. Quick and dirty gets it done.
The neighbor using it as a "mini trencher" so that he could install the invisible dog fence.
Did he buy you a new B&C?
