Hello,
In felling... Are there any good tricks or techniques for getting perfectly level/horizontal undercuts and backcuts ?
Especially when the bar is 3/4 (or so) of the tree width?
For example: tree width is 18" using 16" bar .... or tree width is 30" using 25" bar
... or for that matter, even if the bar is long enough to go through the tree.
I can't seem to eyeball my bar perfectly level, but often wind up with slightly slanting undercuts and backcuts.
In contrast, for example, if you watch August Hunicke make his cuts, his bar is *perfectly* level on the backcut and undercut and it also shows in the stump.
I have considered using small level (e.g. bulls eye level) on the bar of my saw to get my bar oriented level on both "slant" and "pitch" axis.
Does anyone have any good techniques for getting the bar level other than just pure practice and experience?
Thanks,
Robert
