I
Would a miter work for a lot of wood like a cord. Seems like it would wear out.
Iv been pounding my 10 in craftsman Miter Saw for ,must be 15 years now and still works like a charm. You would wear out a chain saw with much less miles. 10 in seems to be the sweet spot cuz 12 in saw and also the blades are quite a bit more expensive.
 
Some years ago I cut down a little under a cord very quickly using the H frame method.
