What's the biggest diameter tree anyone has cut with this?

This is a great tool. The clearance between the blade and the frame is about 6 inches at the narrow end so this is pretty much the limit working from one cut. I am guessing that Joe worked from both sides to achieve what he describes.

We've cut logs quite a bit larger than the 1.5" - main thing is to use a clamp or have a two person team doing it. My husband made a really nice log bed in just a few hours as a rank beginner! We used logs about 3 - 4 inches.

Yes you can, the first time I used it was to cut a branch which broke from an older tree the diameter was 6 to 8".

Yes it's bigger actually. You cut it to fit with scissors. Works great BTW.

The saw is better at sawing/trimming smaller branches. I wouldn't recommend cutting longer than 24".

I've cut pine saplings the size of my thumb and trimmed back overhanging rhododendron branches. It should do fine. As with a previous answer, a lopper would do better for anything over an inch.

I don't remember seeing a listed minimum tree size on the box, but I wouldn't use it on a tree under 16 diameter

The biggest I've split was about 20". You can really split any size, you just may have to rotate and resplit if it is a large log.

This pruner was a helpful tool for me and my friend. Whose also bought this pruner. This pruner can trim only 4 inches diameter, can not trim any branches bigger than 4 inches diameter. Any branches bigger than 4 inches need to use electric saw.

Hello Susan,I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps.http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdfregardsfrank

i have cut oak limbs about 6" in diameter. it is a work out for it, but it will do it. the machine is alittle under powered for anything over 3". but for the money it is a pretty good machine.

Not a chance. I was just using this tool this morning to clip a camelia tree. You can cut up to about 3/8" branches.

Can't really say since I haven't used with a mill. We cut up alot of large oak and cedar trees that were 18 inchs and a few bigger in diameter and it did a great job. The blade sharpness is probably the key. Had to tighten the chain more as it dulled but when sharp it went through the trees with ease.

No idea but the Saw and the Blade I got from Makita was awesome. We were cross cutting white pine 6 x 12, 8 x 8, and 6 x 8. Worked great.

The branches on my shrub are about 1/4 to 1/3 inch in diameter, which it cuts with no problem. It will certainly cut larger branches, but not with the same efficiency or ease.

one large oak was enough to dull it, but that is cutting the tree down and trunks and branches to manageable pieces. All in all I would say it stayed sharper longer than any other chain I've used.

the max it will cut is a 3" log or tapper down a larger diameter log with draw knife or axe. the finished cut will be 1.5" diameter ok for small projects benches, chairs, tables, get a bigger cutter for bed frames and such.
