I’m not sure if you read my post but I tried a 359, which I believe is just a tad better than the 450. It cut but, it was soooooooo sloooow. If it’s only a tree or 2, and if you don’t mind taking the time you’ll probably be ok.

Much more than that, you may do the 450 in.

If there is any chance you’ll buy a bigger saw, get the bigger alaskian. it’ll still work on the smaller saw. The nice thing about the alaskian mill is if you don’t like it, throw it on ebay and you’ll only loose a couple of bucks.
