they are demolision tools really they are very difficult to hold still and don't give a presentable finish however if you ever need to do a serios amount of demolition work on any thing other than concrete they are the muts.

 

Which tool mate ?

Problem is they would need a 12 inch blade to cut 4 inches. I use a circular saw to cut sleepers, then finish with a hand saw. They do a guide for cutting the tops of 3 inch post straight with a hand saw but not 4 inch.

 

It's not just cutting them straight though, it's the time and effort, i'm goosed after cutting 1, never mind 12 or whatever.

 

Might be just as well getting me tickets for the chainsaw and then I can cut away to me hearts content.

if you do go down the chainsaw route id highly recomend running a small ish saw with a carveing bar on. i run an ms170 with a 12" carveing bar and because its a 1/4" chain it cuts alot less agressive and neater finish. i use mine day in day out when im building stuff in my workshop.
