Now that, my friend, is a saw! How long does it take to make one cut?
Thanks for sharing.
I kind of lost track but it was at the 4 hour mark when I took the video. I figured a bit over 10 hours on this one. It really does depend on the material on how log a cut will take. I cut for an hour or two and then have to shut it down for one reason or another. I don't leave it running and wander off too far.
Bar looks to be six foot or more, too bad the effective stroke’s only about two feet.
Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard, the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand. One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger erases human history.

The bar is 8 feet, and the stroke is about 2 feet. I don't think the 2 foot stoke is any problem. I like to see all of the segments cutting. if not the ones on the end may not get used and create problems down the road. I do not put on any more segments than what I need and position the log so that it is centered in the stroke. It has been a learning curve for sure.

At first glance it would seem that the cut would not be as smooth as one would like it to be. On the other hand I don't see any other way of cutting pieces that large.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

It is not too bad, one this size I use the hand held polisher and diamond pads, saw marks come out pretty fast. too big to put on my flat lap.
do you put something down to break the fall when it's cut off or do you have hands on when it's almost finished? Without something I could see the piece breaking.

Ya, pretty much a hands on right at last. I do brace it but I need to be there when it finishes.
