This sawing work with currents designed to cut deep (current ripping), with thinner, and each cut only lost 6 mm thick on wood.
Considering that the cut with chainsaw is a straight cut, and poses virtually no fibers (unlike a bandsaw), what we lost when cutting with chainsaws ends up very close to what we lost with a bandsaw, which later will have to go by plane. The cut with chainsaw is so soft that, for various purposes, subsequent dispensing finishes. In many other cases just a passage with the sander to have the wood ready for what we want to make it.
