How can a chainsaw cut through wood without jamming ?

664 views

Wood is kind of pretty hard and the chain of the chainsaw is made of “blocks” I suppose, can’t really find out what it exactly is but anyway, to me, it seems like that chain would just get stuck in the wood at the very moment it touches it. Even more when cuting deeper into the tree.

There are two sorts of blocks. One cuts on the left and one cuts on the right. The chain goes left-right-left-right-… . By cutting a slot that’s wider than the chain and the bar, it’s easy to avoid problems. Of course, you have to be smart, and but the tree in tension rather than compression. If you cut wrong, the blade will be pinched.
