Never seen one

What would you cut with a chainsaw to need this type of jig to hold?

My bet would be timber frame buildings?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

8x8 timbers for retaining walls.

I believe they're for beams, but also I think it's funny that those and these both exist and are probably just the ticket for certain people. It'd be funny to have one of each of them.

I've seen them used for log cabin beams on tv
Never saw one in person.

With all the new battery powered stuff I would think the need for a gas powered circular saw or drill would not be that great.
I could rip some serious crooked lines with that deal........

As others said timber framers. Other stick framers will use them to gang cut everything from rafters to floor joists to speed up production.

Those are big with the amish builders.

Wow been looking for something like that. Cross cutting big beams straight would be much easier with that! Had no idea they existed

*edit*
holy crap 700$!!!!

Google “Prazi Beam Cutter”, I have one here that I bought at auction for $5 because I was the only one who knew what it was. If you do not want a chain, you can move up to a beam saw. Just be sure to use both hands! Battery powered Makita for size comparison.

he's down to like 500 now
I've since seen kits to add chain conversion to other saws

How do you order one? I am very interested. Right now I’m bringing a genny with my electric and extension cord

The conversions were for adding chainsaw bar to a electric circular saw.
Although a person might do it on a rechargeable circular to get away from a generator...........

I’d be out of battery quickly, and to be honest the cordless ones are not as robust as the electric ones
