Eh Up.
I bought an Axminster Electric Chainsaw last year. It was fine for the first couple of logs, then it started to labour. I tried sharpening the blade but it didn't seem to make a difference. So I ordered a new blade. For one reason or another I never got to put that blade on and try it. Today I needed to process all my log stock ready for moving house. I sawed through one small 4" log (crosscut) and it was fine. But on the next log it laboured and took ages to get through. I played around with the tension, checked the oil, cleaned it all out and even tried sharpening the new blade. No Joy.
So I dunno whatta do. I remember the 'new' blade came from eBay and was delivered in a jiffy bag, no branded packaging. Could it be that the 'new' blade was a lemon? Or is the saw a lemon?
