Looking for a good firewood saw. Cut about 6 to 7 cord a year of standing dead or fallen trees on state land each year.  Trees range from 6" to maybe 20" in diameter with the norm about 14".  I'm thinking about the Makita DCS510.  Does it have a metal crank case?  How much of the saw is metal?

Thanks

Metal case yes - but is the heavier aluminum, and not the usual magnesium.

The saw really is too heavy for its power, but it is up to you if it matters.... :)
