Purchase criteria
shape
frame: The saw frame is often made of metal, can be folded up and, thanks to its high struts, is very suitable for working with a chainsaw. With the help of a frame you can saw many branches at the same time. Such a model is also suitable for sawing with a hand saw. Saw frames are only unsuitable for large branches or even tree trunks.
Classic sawhorse: This is the classic, x-shaped sawhorse, which is perfect for working with a handsaw. Such a model should be very stable. However, the classic sawhorse is not suitable for working with a chainsaw. This wood sawhorse can be made of metal or wood.
Clamp stand: Exactly the right model for working large and heavy logs with a chainsaw is the clamp stand, which is also called a self-clamp or self-clamp. This model is very heavy and therefore particularly stable.
weight
When buying, make sure that the sawhorse is not too light, because the weight affects the stability and thus the stability of the device. Although models with a dead weight of less than ten kilograms are easier to transport, they can also tip over quickly and can therefore provoke accidents. Therefore, a hedge saw should weigh at least ten kilograms, preferably more.
Steadfastness
The dead weight has a great influence on the stability of the wood sawhorse. Under no circumstances should it wobble or appear otherwise unstable when working - this can lead to serious accidents if the worst comes to the worst. You should therefore ensure that the workmanship is stable and that it is stable. When buying online, you will find indications of possible deficiencies in this regard by carefully reading them of customer reviews, paying particular attention to negative reviews should.
Load capacity
In addition to a minimum dead weight, the wood sawhorse should also have a certain load-bearing capacity so that you can work with it as desired. How high this must be depends primarily on the wood to be processed and the type of trestle: Classic trestles and racks should have a load-bearing capacity of at least 100 kilograms if you primarily use them to saw branches and twigs want. A self-clamp, on the other hand, who has to carry entire tree trunks, should have a load-bearing capacity of at least 200 kilograms.
More functions
Many manufacturers offer special additional functions with their sawhorses, which are often very useful. For example, there are models with an additional holder for the chain saw or chainsaw, which makes your work easier. Other wood sawhorses can be folded up to save space and are not only easy to stow away when not in use, but are also transportable.
