Echo vs Husqvarna

Same here, I thought everybody did that.

LOL, you are not good for the economy, don't U know that all those newfangled gadgets is what keeps the GNP going.

LOL, what's wrong with the old fashioned methods.

What next?
A computer controlled laser saw mounted firewood measuring device?
Perhaps it'll let U know when each cord is up to specs.

Heck. I simply eyeball and go to it.
OK, sometimes I'm off an inch or so either way but as long as they fit into my stove I'm OK.

Same here, WHO CARES if they aren't all the same length? My stove sure don't!!

Never saw a saw with adjustable hand grips.
Maybe the only adjustment would be 'shortening' your fingers.

I suspect professional woodsmen don't even wear gloves. Hardy guys!

don't Echo sell a finger shortener?. that would come in very useful for people with normal size fingers!!..

If I want to get accurate, my thump tip to big finger tip length is 9 inches. Two of those makes 18 inches which is my ideal length. On all smaller wood, I typically use the bar as an approximate guage. On big, big logs I do measure off the 18 inches since I may be getting a dozen pieces out out of single cut. I actually like wood in different lengths to use depending on how cold it is outside. I use shorter wood on moderate days, longer on colder.

I care, I CARE I CARE, your fired......... Without a measuring guide I start out 16" and within a few cuts I'm up at 2' and my stove dont like 2 foot wood and or my back, then stacking wood is much easier with constant length of 16-18"

Wow, I cannot imagine an 8 inch variation if I eyeball the cut based on the length of my bar. If that is the case for you, then the measuring tool is great a thing. :thumbsup:

19 isn't too bad, but I prefer 20"!

I couldn't imagine it either till I tried to put wood in the stove and didn't fit then I got the type out and found out why, I always was bad at guessing length but now in my 60's I got worse.

A good sign of a strong back either you or your better half, nothing will make you feel 80 years old like back pain.
