absolute smallest, lightest saw?

[Tempestv]

I'm looking for a saw to keep handy when I'm up on a log wall, or something similar. I don't need a whole lot of power, I just want something small, light, and top handled. I'm intending for this saw to run an 8" cannon carving bar, so it's got to have the right bar mount, and have 1/4" pitch sprockets available. Any ideas?

I have seen some tiny Tanaka saws, but they are pricey. Supposedly a very well made saw though.

Remington Mighty-Mites are pretty small....

I was thinking Stihl ms192t, but is there anything better out there?

Smallest saw right here:

Here is the smallest and lightest saw. It is also remarkably good on gas too...

Smallest lightest saw for sure won't have a motor strapped on it.

My dealers give me a "Deer in the Headlights" look when I ask about them

I found the Stihl UK page for the 150, and it sounds great, except that they don't seem to sell in in the states.

Does anyone know anything about the Echo CS-271T?

Some guys in Florida was running them.

St. Pete area?

Hmm, that might be a little too front heavy, even with just the 8" carving bar...

From the a bit a googling I did it seems that it should take std echo bars and clutchs, so no problem running 1/4" chain and a 8" cannon. I know echo's get a bad rap, but I'd say for the use you're considering it should fit the bill.

Just build a nitro burning RC direct drive palm saw. If I had the time I'd build one myself. Step the bar down to 4"-6" on that one horse puppy.

I've been wanting to build one for years, useless but definitely cool.

1hp? How about 6+hp and 23,000 rpm, cmb 91 marine 15cc

I'm not saying I'm against the idea, but a person has to admit that using a corpse as a means of comparing the size of an object or as a measuring device is different.

"Well Nancy, you were asking about the size of my tool ........... here is my tool and here is a dead squirrel for comparison."

"Ed what is the length of that rafter?"
"Its about 12 dead squirrels long."

Poster, thinking to himself, "Man, where is that tape measure, the guys on AS won't believe how small this saw is ............ Oh, hey, here is a dead squirrel, I'll just use that for comparison."


Some things are not wrong, just different.

23,000 rpm? So you would need something along the lines of a 5 tooth 3/8 sprocket?
