Hello and thank you for being a part of this site! I created this forum 10 years ago when I realized there was no place on the web that had all the information I was looking for to learn more about crosscut saws.

If you enter into a Challenge Cost Share or a Participating Agreement, rather than a Volunteer Agreement, you should be able to utilize your organization's own insurance. There is usually a requirement that you provide "training" to your sawyers, but they don't require it to be S-212 or equivalent.

I run into a lot of different soft woods and always carry a small squirt bottle of diesel. WD-40 works fine, but I don't like to carry an aerosol can around. A little 4oz squirt bottle of lube really helps the sawing go faster and smoother, and keeps your saw clean. I recommend it. I've used citrus ...
