I am having the same problem of cutting 4x4 posts with a reciprocating saw and am going to try this. Thanks for sharing how you solved this problem!

Drilling holes in angle iron sure sounds like fun.

If you droll the bolt holes slightly off, wouldn't that mean you can't adjust the horizontal level on each side? The only way it would work is if you drilled the bolt holes oversized, that way you can adjust both sides when tightened down. Just my thoughts.

Unless you're putting caps on top. You should never cut posts level otherwise water will pool and rot the wood much quicker. They should be cut at an angle to promote water run off.
@HomesteadDIY Жыл бұрын
You're right, of course, but tbh I've never had rot occur at the top of my posts. Even with PT lumber rot has always been at ground contact. If I do say so myself, the beauty of this jig's design is that you can cut the posts at an angle if you choose. Cheers, and thanks for the tip!

That goes for all exterior things that are painted. Everything the rain hits straight down will deteriorate within 5 years. Anything such as a vertical fencewill still be minty after 5 years.

Thing is a 45 degree angle top would be better to drain the water
@HomesteadDIY3 жыл бұрын
I suppose that's true, though I've never encountered standing water as an issue on a fence post. I'd also say 45-degrees is a bit severe, but you actually could incorporate an angle, though much shallower than 45, into the cut since there is some play in setting it up. Thanks for watching.

RuggedHomestead Thanks for reply maybe Im over exaggerating because I’m in Rainy England and see rotten fence tops sometime but most have caps on to protect a bit.You probably don’t get as much rain so flat is ok.Sometimes I just creosote the flat post tops.👍
