Thanks for all the replies! *smile*. From what everyone told me, it seems like a vice/sawzall or that B&D aligator thing seems safest. Can the sawzall be dangerous if it binds?

I am lucky I have a local supplier for wood that has really good pricing. It also helps he cuts me some breaks since I have been going to him for a couple years now when he was a part time operation.

when I get down to that piece that is too small to hold in the vice I just take it and split it into little pieces with my axe.
problem solved.

Heavy gloves are always recommended. Use two hands, pressing the blade guard into the wood. This stabilizes the saw, reducing the chance of the blade twisting. If you use a pruning blade, you should not have much of a binding problem. A blade with as few teeth as possible would be the next choice. Binding is more likely to happen when you are using a fine tooth blade.

Imo sawzall is the safest power saw. The first 2 powered saws dad let me use as a kid was the sawzall and jig saw. I wouldn't recommend 10 year old boys use power tools but it was normal for me. Pretty safe, the blade stops fast and there's little risk of kickback. I'm surgical with that bad boy.

First chance to look through this post...
I have tried cutting on the bandsaw before. If a split will not sit flat and stable on the table, there is a good chance the blade can grab the wood and try to spin it. BTDT, hurts and ruined a good $15 blade... I remember seeing a homemade jig for a chainsaw, of course can't find it now, but a quick search on YouTube gave me some more thorough solutions. This one could be easily made on a wooden X-sawhorse. Basically something to secure the chainsaw and pivot into the cut, and a fence to hold the wood back during the cut. |

Safest is a bandsaw; because you have both hands on the wood.
Most efficient is a chop saw. I use different tools as well, including a table saw, radial arm saw and reciprocating/sawsall.
