I think that is done with a chopper, not a saw.

Hi guys.

 

Dogs tooth can be done upto two and a half guide bar and is for forward leaning trees only. The back tab is simply at 45 degrees.

 

Double v cut is only for hand tools as it does not require a bore therefore bowsaw etc can be used.

 

Split level is for back leaders but is limited by guide bar and can only be used on trees one and a half diameter of bar as ratio of cuts are to be 2:1. Gob as normal then with pushing chain set hinge two thirds of diameter insert wedegs or lever then with 30 45 degree slant under cut from other side set hinge and smash wedegs or heave like hell. In reality mass of tree will dictate limitation. So we use pie on big trees.

 

Pie cut is just a level cut with holding wood at back and is referred to as such if you leave holding wood in back quadrant as it resembles a pice of pie when felled.

 

Boring hinge is simply to remove centre holding wood where you are felling a tree more than twice guide bar and can be used on both dogs tooth and pie cuts but not split level.

 

Cheers

If it's leaning would you use a snatch block?

Brazilian hinge would be better.

Sorry to be boring, cannae think of an other inuendo:thumbdown:

 

Is there a site that shows all the different cuts and names?

Recognise some decriptions but never had names for any cuts really.

What about a " soft Dutchman eating a Danish pie with an up right stoop with one of his legs both alike and spread out in a bunch " cut ?

Hey drink

 

Mate just do your 32 it's a good course as you learn quite a bit unlike some others that is just ticking a box. You will learn all the compound cuts and how to use them. Also if your a bit confused about terminology it may clarify.

 

Also sure you know but your description about sap cuts is a bit wrong. Never bore below hinge. You just need 45 degree scores at apex of hinge.

 

Sorry no puns I'm not that smart.

 

Cheers,

James.

Probably easier to get the Dutch man to do a plunge cut on the Brazilian snatch and block the Danish pie eater with a back leaner dog breath
