Since alot of the wood I hoarded was free and already cut, I had a good amount that was over 18 inches. Too big for my stove. This worked great. I cut all those pieces in under 2 minutes with my MS 271. Chop saws are for lumber.
That's a good way of doing it, I've never seen it done, but it works for you and that's all that matters. Kudos!
Lots of uglies but sometimes that's the end result when you do something that has to be done. Nice setup for that.
