Felt about the same to me, though I've only used the one chainsaw, which was 240v not petrol.
Maybe I remembered wrong, not had use of chainsaw for a bit.

As some one who bashed trees for about 4 years chainsaws are bloody terrible. Newer ones are better i can use my 550xp best part of a day, my old stihl 038 is truly terrible but strangely enjoyable to use.
The 020 type saws are finger killers.
If the grinder was pulling its self in you were cutting in the wrong direction, with all power tools its safer to push against the blades rotation.

About chainsaw , yes them are the scariest tool I ever use but them are also so satisfying to use....
About grinder I do like to use them I feel relatively safe using this tool because I know how to use them in the safest way I can
I use to use this tool standing on a side , using both hands no matter which size or power .
I use it only with the guard and I have also a particular position I do prefer to use .
The wheel shots sparks in my direction so if gets pinched in the cut/workpiece and the grinder takes off it will fly away from me in towards direction (it doesn't really fly it will just jump little bit) .
But that doesn't happen because the guard positioned to catch on the workpiece and stop the wheel (stalling the motor , crushing it or allowing the safety clutch to work)

That's asking for a blade in the face or abdomen. If the blade jams it should pull the grinder away from you.

? No machine will pull away from you regardless!

We must be talking about different things. Nobody with any sense uses a grinder with the blade driving towards their body.

I always cut from the point nearest me away to the back of the piece.
Disk rotation. Top forward.
Driving the grinder into the work.
Hold it back with loose grip to let it cut.
How else could you use a grinder.

the cut50s are ample enough even with a 50 litre air tank much better with a 90 litre tank and you dont need a 32 amp feed to run them

And that’s something you only learn with practice. When starting out most folk hold on with tons of clamping pressure. I know I did that when starting out

That will depend on what are you doing and what you mean by clamping pressure.
Firmly a tight on the auxiliary handle, loosely on the rat tail (to quickly releasing the switch if needed)
About pressure just enough to avoid any bouncing from the wheel
Agree with you about this , excessive amount of pressure on the tool just makes things worst
The tool doesn't work properly
The disc doesn't last as well
The motor gets overheating
The tool wear down quickly
You get tired quickly

I will in the next future ,I didn't achieve my goal to get one in 2019 but I will surely in the first part of new year
A CUT50P should be enough for my needs
Also thrusting for a new work (half week working and the other half free , with variable payment 650 minimum ) I will get a power generator for cheap .
I got two years ago a genset MPM5/175CX engine driven welder , and if everything goes well I will get a genset MG10000 (9kW 230V Genny) next year
Be ideal if I can run both on 16/13 amp supplies. May have got carried away when I looked into air compressors previously.

you can run both on that supply ive already done it but only power i have is from a 35m 2.5 cable which supplies the shed
i run both the cut50 plasma cutter and a 40litre belt compressor on it
belt compresoor less noise than direct
a note i stop cutting when the compressor is building up air again but its never stopped me before i have done the cutting with both air and plasma cutting at same time its just not good practice but i am upgrading the wire anyway
