NPTC requirement for crosscutting with 25"

[Spruce Pirate]

Don't know about CS 30, but my old CS 14 covered cross-cutting, it was a stand alone unit so, for example, saw mills could put guys through CS 10 & 14 (as was) so that they could cut a 7.4 log into two 3.7s without having to go to the trouble of having a felling ticket for someone who was never going to drop a tree.

 

I presume the cross-cut element of CS 30 is still in place for this reason, so it would seem daft to have it limited to 15".

 

 

 

On the 15" diameter thing for felling, I totally agree, we had a job a we while ago thinning some southern beech, knocking on 100' tall, less than 15" diameter, and yet the 30' tall beech sub-compartment just 100 yards up the hill couldn't be felled without a CS 32 ticket as it was all over 15" diameter. Ridiculous situation.

Cross cutting has no size limits, only felling has limits in size

...but would cutting a piece off a stump count as cross cutting?

The test requires a 15" bar for the cuts you have to demonstrate. There's no way you could really do a split level cut on a sub 380mm tree with a 36" bar

No, but stump cutting isn't felling, but cs30 will cover it
