Chainsaw for Cutting Firewood?
Started by stinglacson on June 22, 2024
I've got the Craftsman CMECS614 chainsaw and it works pretty well for cutting firewood. It's corded so it doesn't require gas or batteries, just plug it in.
That sounds good! What about the weight of the chainsaw? I don't want something too heavy if I'm going to be using it a lot.
The Craftsman CMECS614 is actually quite lightweight at 9.4 lbs, which makes it easier to carry and use for extended periods of time. It's perfect for those who need to cut firewood often!
The Craftsman CMECS614 has a 14-inch bar, which should be suitable for cutting most types of firewood. Plus, there's an article at Overview of the Craftsman CMECS614 Chainsaw that offers more insight into how this chainsaw performs.
Thanks for the info! I'll definitely check out that article. So, what about safety features? Does it have a chain brake?
No, unfortunately, the Craftsman CMECS614 doesn't have a chain brake. However, it does feature tool-free chain tensioning which makes adjusting the chain easier.
I haven't had any issues with the lack of a chain brake so far. It still gets the job done efficiently. Just be sure to use proper safety gear when using the chainsaw!
Sounds good! Thanks for all the advice everyone, I'll think I'll go ahead and give the Craftsman CMECS614 a try for my firewood cutting needs.
