Here are some basic spec's I got on existing cutting technologies.

Amperage, I assume is at stall, and we will be cutting
at relatively slow speeds (at least slow for string technology...),
so I suspect the real power draw to be less.

In any case this can give us some figures for power consumption
vs. cutting width vs. weight.
