Chainsaw Sawhorse

Chainsaw Sawhorse

Any user of an electric or petrol chainsaw would find a chainsaw sawhorse to be an invaluable accessory once used for the first time.

Simple in design and often overlooked because of their basic construction, a chainsaw sawhorse is one of the most useful accessories a chainsaw user could add to their tool collection.

The aim of this accessory is to free up the operators hands allowing greater control of the chainsaw or other tool that is being used. By doing so it allows the user greater control and safety as well as improving efficiency through reduced labour time when cutting logs or branches off trees.

A simple description of a chainsaw sawhorse is an A Frame device that holds logs or timber in place ready to be cut or chopped.

Logs, single branches, and timber sections can be postioned on a sawhorse and cut through without the operator bending or needing hands to hold the wood in place. Infact most chainsaw sawhorses also feature a securing chain or strap to hold the timber tightly, improving safety to an even higher level.

What types of chainsaw sawhorses can you buy?

There are several types available, all designed on a common theme. Usually they are manufactured out of timber sections or steel tubing. The stronger ones being manufactured with square box section steel, often painted or coated with a protective coating.

Which is the best sawhorse to buy?

This depends on the individual preferences and requirements of the chain saw user. As with most products though you can get what you pay for! One high quality and robust chainsaw sawhorse is the metal version one produced by Stihl.

Manufactured with box section galvanised coated steel this particular model is a firm favourite with users being robust in design, sturdy in use, and can fold flat for easy transporation to site.
