Thinking of buying a corded electric chainsaw for cutting up Bowl and turning stock. Got an old Gas one, but want something easier to handle . Which brands are best ?

how many inches of bar length do you need

I have a 8 inch Remington that is also a pole saw , very handy for trimming branches , and it detaches from the pole easily with a t-nut and bracket.

I would probably look at the Oregon if I wanted a longer bar.

Not sure.

I can turn stock 15 inches in diameter between the headstock and the tailstock, and can turn up to 20 inches on outboard turning for Bowls.

I think I'd still be happier with a gas powered saw.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

sounds like more than 8 inches will be needed
I bought one for my dad many years ago black and yellow is all I recall 14 or 16 inch bar it works , he doesn't use it much most of it's use was me using it to trim his trees they are a different beast you tighten the chain more than you would on a gas saw , they are instantly all on and all off generally have a narrow Kerf bar and chain.

I don't have any experience with the Oregon but my dealer stocks and sells the Oregon cordless and he was impressed with how well it worked he said comparing it to a homeowners type gas saw it would make most of the same cuts and unlike most home owners type saws you don't have carb issues when you go to use it again in a year
