RE: (ET) ET powered chainsaw

["Pestka, Dennis J" <Dennis Pestka mkg com>]

Allan;

Along with a lot of others, I also looked into this.
I wish I could find an original 36vdc saw but so far no luck.

In the meantime I bought a small Remington pole saw that I run off my 
rotary
inverter.
Haven't given it a good workout but it seems to work pretty fair.

I heard that there are 12vdc saws available, another option.
Tony Bailey has one. He may be able to fill you in on how it works.

Also check the Elec-Trak discussion list archives for a lot of old
discussion on this topic.

Good luck;
Dennis


Has anyone found a really good way to have an electric chainsaw powered 
from
the ET?  Seems to me there are only a few options:

1. Find an original ET chainsaw
2. Find a powerful enough inverter to run a regular chainsaw
3. Find an AC chainsaw which can run on 36VDC

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Allan
