A few shots of the swedish cut

[Ian Flatters]

Spent a little bit of time tonight putting this together. I was talking about the swedish cut on the treehouse and a said i had some footage of it being done on a job i did a while back.

 

Hope you enjoy.

Is it a "Humbolt" notch with an over cut on the top?

 

What is the advantage of the over cut?

Can you make it available on mobiles please

HI IAN very good post you put up on net :thumbup1:jon

Basically its a tep cut but with a humbolt face, when moving chogs it makes it much easier if you require a step cut and makes it much safer than cutting straight through at a slanted angle. Josh had it in his video a year or so ago and was good enough to explain its mechanics

Hi Ian. Can't see the vid on my phone but it sounds like a cut we have been using this summer. Do you mean a face cut, then saw all the way though the face and small.step.cut on the underside?

 

That's a very useful cut for pulling big chunks off and ideal for verticle.speedlines

I understand the principle but can't really see making an extra cut being worthwhile. Will try it out and report back though.

Yep thats the one Its on my Jerry B video apparently and it goes into detail about what size chunks to drop to get them to rotate to land flat. Havent got round to watching the dvds yet tho.

I could see it being of some help on very large chunks, but don't think it was really needed on the size of timber in the vid.

Its useful on those sized chunks too. Instead of doing smaller chogs you can drop longer sections without the need of using a pull line to overcome the force required to break a hinge, thus leaving the groundy to be able to chip and log, not remove a line and tie it back on your line.

 

Also save a lot of used energy in comparison to a step cut as it removes a lot of handling of the section.
