A counterbalanced chainsaw mount is provided that includes a pin joint, a suspended counterweight, and a counterweight support assembly between the pin joint and counterweight. The chainsaw mount assists cutting a work piece with a chainsaw, controlling the cutting motion and counterbalancing the chainsaw to prevent kickback. The pin joint is secured to a work table or alternative support, whereby the support assembly secures at one end to the guide bar of the chain saw. Along an opposite end, the support assembly supports the counterweight. The support assembly comprises an intermediate member extending along the chainsaw guide bar and an upstanding member supporting the counterweight. The counterweight is positioned an offset distance away from the distal end of the chainsaw guide bar such that the intermediate member is biased to rotate about the pin joint and therefore elevate the proximal end of the chainsaw guide bar while attached thereto.

An attachment for handling and variable length processing of a material having a longitudinal axis includes a material engagement assembly and a processing assembly. The material engagement assembly is configured to engage the material about the longitudinal axis and includes a planar engagement surface and a curved engagement surface configured to move relative to the planar engagement surface and engage the material therebetween. The processing assembly is variably positionable along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the material when the material is engaged by the material engagement assembly. The attachment can include a roller system configured to drive the material along the linear travel path without length restrictions.

A firewood processor with a tightenable saw chain, which processor comprises a frame arranged to support the firewood processor to a base, such as the ground, and a saw for sawing wood raw material in a transverse direction into an intermediate product of a desired length. The saw comprises a saw chain, a flange for guiding said saw chain and a sprocket, which is arranged to convey the driving force to said saw chain. The firewood processor further comprises a splitting section for splitting the intermediate product of a desired length in the longitudinal direction into a desired size, which splitting section comprises a splitting wedge and means for splitting the intermediate product of a desired length by means of the splitting wedge. In addition, the firewood processor comprises automatic means for tightening the saw chain of said saw and for maintaining the tightness.
