Crosscutting in Medium tree felling assesment.

[sanny]

i had to do a reduction cut much the same cut you have to use with wind blown trees can't remember the proper name but rembered the j cut. you cut down have the diameter of the log when you reach the bottom of then log push the nose of the bar up, then walk round to the other side tree then find the cut bring the cut up half the diameter of the log. then figure out the tension compression then cut either in board or out board this stops your bar getting pinched. or what steve say'd use a bore cut if log flat on the deck hope this makes sense

thanks for the replys i ask mostly because it was a strange turn of phrase used in the schedule suggesting there was more to it than i thought.

As steve said it helps when you cant undercut if a log is close to the ground but also if you're using a larger saw it takes the weight off, as you are cutting down once you have bored in, rather than having to hold the saw up, if that makes sence
