I worked for a bloke in the 80s who had a Stihl 240v chain saw.
Brilliant bit of kit.
Liked so much I bought a Stihl 415v power unit to make a slabbing Saw, never got made too busy with other stuff

Me too but luckily the whipper-snipper uses the same battery so I have a spare battery either way. Since the back op', that and the Makita 240V saw are the only ones I can use - gave one of the petrol saws to the youngest son and I'm thinking about selling the other two . . . but you never know what miracle might happen yet

Camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora). No1 weed tree! So, definitely not a native....
Nice enough colour and grain. Relatively stable green => seasoned. A bit heady from the camphor volatiles (like Vicks vaporub) while turning. Sure clears the sinuses, but probably also dissolves a few neurons while it is at it...Stay sharp and stay safe!

Smiife,
I bought a Stihl chain saw, and a leaf blower, they have the same battery pack. This morning my son and I cut up three old dead lychee trees. Lychee wood is quite hard. At the end of the exercise the battery was only half shot. Mind you I have no alliance with the dealer, just a very surprised and happy customer. The saw kerf is much smaller the what I call "normal" for a petrol machine, which probably helps battery life.

As I already had several sets of Makita 36v (2x18v) batteries for other tools, I went with the Makita cordless chainsaw.
I expect that either the Stihl or Husqvana 36v offerings would be better, but once you have already gone down another brand pathway with its battery system it is hard to abandon your existing investment to get an incremental improvement with either of the big name chainsaw makers.
My 36v Makita has had a fair workout now and has performed OK. I opt to use it wherever it can do the job, given that it is so much lighter and quieter than my petrol chainsaws. I did replace the 'tool-less' bar knob with a standard hex nut that can be tightened sufficiently with a tube spanner to keep the bar firmly secure. Its 'tool-less' bar knob was not up to the task.
The 240v corded chainsaws are another quieter and cheaper option if you are in reach of a 240v outlet. The only thing with them is that the ones I've had don't stop as quickly as the petrol saws, so are potentially more dangerous.Stay sharp and stay safe!
