Work Safer With A Chainsaw Sawhorse

It is a well known fact that you can work safer with the use of a chainsaw sawhorse.

This handy accessory holds logs, branches, or other timber sections securely whilst cutting with a chainsaw or hand saw.

All types of chainsaws can be dangerous unless care is taken during their operation. It does not matter whether your tool is battery operated, driven by electric, or petrol powered, unless high levels of care and safety are taken a chain saw can be dangerous to use by any level of operator.

In it's basic form there is the wooden chainsaw sawhorse. This is manufactured usually in a hard wood and is light and relatively stable in use.

When erected a sawhorse holds the log or other work piece in a horizontal position freeing up both of the tool operators hands. This allows the operator to use a chainsaw with complete control allowing good and safe cutting to proceed.

Most types of chainsaw sawhorse feature a method of securing logs or timber sections to it for chopping and cutting. This is commonly by way of a retaining strap or securing chain.

On the stihl wooden sawhorse this is by way of a retaining rope. On the stihl metal sawhorse a spring loaded chain is included as standard fitment.

Even an experienced tree surgeon will recognise the benefits of using a chainsaw sawhorse. As well as safety the purchase of one of these accessories can save hours of time on site by allowing more efficient cutting and logging work to be carried out.

Are metal type sawhorses stronger than wooden ones?

Although they are heavier to carry a metal sawhorse is stronger than a wooden one in addition to being more robust if the chain blade accidently touches it. Several brands of metal chainsaw sawhorse are also galvanised making them resistant to rust when used on site and in forestry environments.
