Question:

There are different types of cordwood saws. "From what I've read and what I've heard," Dearborn makes two different types and Ferguson has one. Any opinions as to which is the better saw?

Tanks!

Thanks for the help fellers. I'm looking to fix one up for show. Won't use it much for cutting. My grandfather had a saw similar to these types. It was kind of homemade and had the same ideas. We cut many a cord on that saw. Dangerous as heck.

What Pete from England said is right on the money.

These saws were man-killers. That's why you don't see them around much anymore !

If the piece you were cutting got in a bind it would be whipped back with tremendous force... and of course, you've got that big blade sitting there ready to cut your arm off.

Chainsaws are dangerous enough... but they are lots safer (when used properly) than the old fashioned buzz saws... that's why they've replaced them.

Get a good chainsaw, a timberjack (peavey) & a couple sawbucks.

Just my 2 cents. Other opinions may differ.

Tyman, Greetings from England. Ferguson in fact made two types of cordwood saw. The early type was the A-LE19, which has an 8.5 inch pulley on the shaft and an angular saw blade guard. The later model, A-LE-A20 has a 9 inch pulley and a curved saw blade guide. Be very careful using these saws, they're a health and safety nightmare.
Either saw should be run at about 3/4 throttle setting or 1200 revs per minute. I can't comment on the Deerborn saw, but obviously, British is best!!!
