Recommendations for reliable saws, grinders, and more.
On grinders, if you’re doing more than 30–40 lb at a time, skip the #8 and go #12 — my LEM Big Bite has chewed through three seasons fine; add a cheap foot pedal and you’ll wonder how you lived without it. For saws, reliable = clean cuts: keep the blade cold and tensioned, wipe bone dust off the guides every few minutes or the tracking drifts (), and swap the blade the moment it starts to “polish” instead of bite.
