A filter grouping saws with a variable speed trigger.
This is a filter rather than a buying category: it groups saws with a variable speed trigger. It is deliberately kept out of search results, because the useful way to shop is by power source or by bar length.
A variable speed trigger gives finer control of chain speed, which helps on delicate pruning cuts and when starting a cut without the bar skating across the bark.
The DEWALT DCM565N Review is a chainsaw with a 30 cm (12 in) bar and battery power. A 30 cm bar cuts a log of about 30 cm in a single pass, and is at its most comfortable on timber up to roughly 25 cm. Thicker wood is not impossible, since cutting from both sides …
Start with the job. Decide the bar length from the thickest wood you cut regularly, add about 5 cm, then pick the power source: petrol for firewood and felling, cordless for pruning and garden work, corded for the most cutting power per pound within reach of a socket.
Then compare within that group: 12 inch, 14 inch, 16 inch, 18 inch or 20 inch.
