    I normally use a circular saw, chainsaw is not accurate enough.

    I used a chainsaw on all the internal posts, but i wasn't too concerned about having the tops dead square because i housed the bearers into the posts. Just gotta make sure the chain is sharp.

    Wouldn't use a chainsaw on kwila posts though. It splinters. Definitely use a circular saw if you want neat.

    Good luck.

    Circular Saw.

    Just a minor aside... does he also carve the Sunday Roast with an axe?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I used my little Stihl chainsaw to cut all 78 of my red gum stumps. No worries with accuracy due to a light saw and a steady hand.

    ...and well marked cut lines. We were very fortunate to have the use of a self leveling laser level for the day.....great toy.

    Could have used the circular saw but it was stuck in the Triton....
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.
