   That's a configuration I considered when we were building our deck about 28 years ago.  Settled instead on a clamp-on guide made from bits of aluminum stock.  (I actually ran across it in a bin of odd tools last week while redecking the lower level.)

   If I wasn't in a campground in minimal service Pa. , I'd follow the link to see the result........

   That's too bad. You follow the link to the video where the saw and the cut-off piece are only held by one clamp. As they swing loose with the blade spinning there's lots of blood and gore all over the place.

   As expected

   What happened to getting the post close to the right length and finishing with a circular saw?

   currently in a campground on the Chickahominy river in Virginia and wishing I could have found an old BT's email address as we passed Richmond.

   I see someone from Taunton must have wiped some bogus posts or even the spammers have slowed down here.

   looking to go to the Outer Banks in a few days, barring a new tropical storm or worse.  Spent yesterday in the clouds of the Shenandoah.  In Ohio, they'd call it a thick fog.

   hows it goin with you?

   Binding

   As soon as he reaches the end of that cut, that blade will bind and those clamps will be everywhere, including a finger.

   Of course, the saw likely can't cut a 4x all the way through.

   that's the only hope....

   for a good outcome.

   That was a chumbait link so I quit as soon as I realised it was leading nowhere.

   yeah....

   You did the right thing. I suffered though the boring slide show and the slide after the pic posted here was only a pic of all the cut

   off posts. If they were selling anything I never got to it.

   Yeah, it was a real snooze, especially on this ancient box.
