Re: Best tool to cut posts 6.25 inches square x 96 inches

Ok--so I misunderstood the post design. The Sawzall will still work and
will cut cleaner than a chainsaw. But, then, use the tool that's easiest to
 get ahold of.

I am thinking I probably need to make a jig and use a circular saw.

We usually use a chainsaw for similar circumstances.


For a cleaner cut, there are circular saws with 9 and 10" blades:

Or a portable bandsaw:

Or, the one I have, a Sawzall (reciprocating saw) with a long enough
blade--9" should do either way. The taller the blade the cleaner and
straighter the cut.

Enjoy!
