Checklist For Sawhorses
- In addition to a classic sawhorse, which can be folded to save space, there are also so-called saw frames and clamp stands.
- Sawhorses are very suitable for sawing many branches at the same time, clamping stands are designed for sawing logs and thick branches.
- If you want to saw a few logs for the cozy evening in front of the fireplace, you are well-advised to use a commercial sawhorse.
- Mostly you have the image of a wooden frame in mind when you think of a sawhorse. Today, however, sawhorses are increasingly made of metal, as it is much more weather-resistant.
- Even if a block of wood does not always weigh several hundredweight, a good sawhorse should have a load-bearing capacity of at least 100 kg. After all, you are exerting pressure on the block, which is not too light anyway, when sawing.
- If you want to cut thicker pieces of wood or tree trunks, you should choose a model with a load-bearing capacity of at least 200 kg.
- When buying a sawhorse, look for solid workmanship and a secure stand. Nothing should wobble here. You need your hands for sawing, so you can not hold the sawhorse additionally.
- If the trestle bends easily under pressure, you should choose a different model.
- The larger the saw blade, the larger and thicker the branches you can cut. The distance between the upper struts is decisive here. The wider this is, the larger the diameter of the pieces of wood may be.
- The sawing area should also not be too small so that the wood does not constantly fall out of the holder.
- Ideal are saws that you can pass through the piece of wood from top to bottom Circular saws are not suitable here, as they are designed to be pushed.
