Weird thread title I am sure. Been a professional woodturner for over 30 years. I have mounted logs upwards of 32" and 1500 pounds on a lathe. When Hurricane Andrew tore through South Miami in 92, you couldn't find a chainsaw to buy. I had a Jonsered 625 with a 20" bar. It was the opportunity of the lifetime to section up downed trees- East Indian Rosewood, Cuban Mahogany, and Albizia Lebbeck just to mention a few species. My beloved 625 finally gave up the ghost about 6 months ago. Rebuilding it is not an option since parts are unavailable. Besides all I need now is light duty saw. I'm thinking 40cc oughta do it. Maybe the Jonsered 2245 or 2240. Any advice would be appreciated. Sorry I was so long winded.
