If your Circular saw just isn't cutting it try this!

THAT THING LOOKS SCARY!

Where do you run when it kicks bacK. I think full body armor is appropriate

16” blade. Lee was talking about one at his picnic this year.

where can i get one of those? that is awesome! i’d feel a little intimidated holding that thing though.

wow! thats kinda scary.

Just kinda scary??? That’s a lot of blade spinning with only you holding it… Ouch!

We sell these in our store. Our customers are always quite impressed. Yes, they are %&$#’n scary.

-- Dust collectors suck.

you better have a good hand because i was thinking if you go just a little out of square you better run for the hills!

hey thats a good sonG by iron maiden!

I hope they soft start LOL. That brings some of those old cartoons to mind. The ones where the operator spins around the tool instead of vice versa

Wow… I bet plunge cutting is a bear! (I wouldn’t try it… lol)

Imagine the kickback that thing would create.

That thing would be a lot safer if you put it in a metal enclosure and had some jigging to present the work to the blade squarely…oh…er… ah…never mind.

Yeah, real scary!

not to put you off, but I no a guy who had half his arm ripped off when one of those kicked back!

Thanks for the post

Blake, how much for a garden hoe for the edge guide and steel I beam for the straigt edge guide?

Seriously though, that thing fills a need in cutting thick pieces. I wonder what other tools could handle such a thing and be more safe? In the shop I guess you would use the band saw. I know there are those hand held band saws. Are they used for such things? hhhmmmm…...

So uh Bob…who’d you get to volunteer to run it?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Great! I have some 1/4” plywood that I need cut to size, and my circ. saw’s battery died… maybe I can get one of THESE for the job…. :-o

who said that size doesn’t matter?

nice post! I’ve seen those go on for sale on craigslist from time to time.

Nice saftey glasses and hearing protection this guy uses…must be that new stealth style…

Check out the hammer in his belt too.
He is one of the best of the top framing crews on the west coast of Canada.

Also take note how he deliberatley steps out of the cutting path of the timber saw.

If I had one like this, I think I’d mount it in a table,

but then you’d have to figure some way of feeding the large timbers into it.

I think that’s also the preferred model for Snerdly Whiplash when he’s trying to cut up Penelope Pitstop.

-- Jim

Christ, I can’t even use regular circular saws yet! Wow, beastly is all I can say.

What a saw!!!!! Do they still make them? That thing is awsome, but I’m guessing it has a price tag and I would hate to lug that thing around all day. Really cool tho.

This is definitely a “pro” tool and best used by a pretty husky guy.( or gal)
The weighs around 28 lbs and packs a +16” blade.
It is equipped with an electronic brake as well.

Most of the timber framers use these big boys up here .
You will pay around $600-$900.00 for one depending on how you shop.

Short of a buck saw or chain there is no other solution for 6×6” timbers and up.

I think they used to use really big radial arm saws for work like that at the lumber yard.
