Fuck yes, sort of.
August Hunicke just posted a video of it ripping a 36 bar with skip tooth chain through some dry white oak.

I wouldn't buy the 576XP. Not that it is a bad saw. It was state of the art...ten years ago. If you want a big bore Husqvarna with an auto tune carb, the 572XP is where it's at. Well worth the extra $400ish if you can afford it.
That Echo 7310 is supposedly going to be in the $750-780 range street price. I haven't seen one locally yet. Lot of UK and Canada users are saying it's the balls. Especially when ported and tuned. A little on the heavy side and has a manual adjustment carb, but a well thought out saw all around with excellent air filtration.
At least it’s not his trigger finger....
Dont have pics but a metal fab company I worked at had a pretty good size shear. It had this auto shear feature that once the metal was detected it would cut. This machine would cut 1/2 inch steel plate easily. Anyway the operator had it on auto and stuck a small piece of metal in. He had to put his hand past the guard because the piece was so small. Unfortunately auto shear also has auto hold where hydraulic driven rods hold the metal in place. So of course his finger was exactly where the holding rod comes down. When he took off his glove part of his finger stayed in the glove. Pinching is painful. Id say you got pretty lucky.
