I'm looking for a cheapish firewood saw and thought I would try one of these builds. I'm ok mechanically, or at least stubborn, but I am a little worried about the safety concerns.
Is there any reason to think that these clone saws wouldn't be able to pass the safety standards set by OSHA? I'm not so concerned about the noise or emissions, but I would like to have a saw doesn't have a ton of kickback or where the chain brake could fail. Anyone have any experience with this, I would appreciate the help.
