This is the Best Chainsaw Jig Ever Invented

I'm here today with my friend from Flat Top. We'll be right back. Use it like a chop saw. Most 98... I'm here today with my friends from Flat Top, Travis, and these guys have a new invention, a new tool for all of you, let's say chainsaw guys, builder guys, somebody that doesn't want to actually pick up a chainsaw, use a guide as a surgical instrument, and I'm actually here watching what these guys can do with this one particular jig. And since he's telling me now that you've designed this just for poles. Now, guys building pole barns, anybody knows you're going to be up 40 feet in the air. How are you going to cut that straight? You're going to use this tool right here. But they found how many. Show us exactly what else you can do with this tool. We started out vertically. We figured out we can go horizontal with it as well. So we basically attached it. Take the clamps off, attach it. We're going to use it like a chop saw. So the fact of the matter is you can make a perfect 90 degree cut, just like you said, like a chop saw, a chainsaw chop saw. You got it. So what kind of chop saw are you going to be able to use to use a six by eight timber? None. None. Right? The beauty of it comes too is if, you know, if we need to cut rafter tails or we need to cut knee braces, whatever it might be, we move the material to whatever angle we want. Say we need a 20 degree angle. It's hard to do that with a skill saw. True. And if you have it on a table right here and you set yourself up a jig, maybe you need to make 20 of these things, it's a repeatable cut. We do. Basically, we find the angle we want, we'll create a sacrificial block here as a fence. We can come back. Once we make the first cut, that's zero. We know that's where it's going to cut every time, so we come back, find the angle. Set it up for a rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat, that's very smart. So let me ask you a question. In this particular circumstance, if we're actually cutting an angle, am I able to cut a skewed angle like this as well? As in what skewed angle? Let's say I needed to make a 45 and a 45. One thing you could do is let's just say, let's say we want to do this. Give me a little block, Jimmy. If we wanted to clamp it, and let's say we needed to come here, and we needed to come here, we could clamp it down. We could make it work if we wanted to. Okay. So we'd build a block to hold a cradle. We would build ourselves a cradle to whatever you wanted, if we were just cutting in this certain circuit. Yeah. We can actually use... Hand me that block, Scotty. Really, the reason I asked is I saw one of the poles you cut before and you had cut it on an angle. I got exactly where you're at. So you're probably running a 30 degree 45 on that block. So you need to cut it there you can. I got you. So that's awesome. So where else do you find all you guys are using this tool? I mean, you're using it on square wood, and right over here you have a jig that's using it on round wood. We had a neighbor building a pole barn out of telephone poles, and so a lot of people still use these. They can get them pretty cheap most of the time. The thing we run into is we came up with what we've referred to as the round post kit. So basically it's a standoff. So if you got knotty wood or if it's twisted or bowed, we added a set of dogs here to where we can come out and get larger diameters. We can clamp to it and hold it. Right. But when we got to his project. His poles were at the top, were twisted and bowed, and so we needed an ability to be able to level and cut for his top plate and cut it level, so we've added a level bubble to the top. So we can manipulate the guide once we get on the pole, level this, so as long as we've got a 90 degree angle between our bar and our axle, it rides in this. We give it that true plane. This is level. The cut will be level. I got you. So is that how, even if you're wanting to cut a square pole, you're putting your thing on at a 90 degree, and then you're getting your bubble level, and now you know you're cutting true, you're cutting plumb. Very true. Got you. Very true. We'll cut this one off. Throwing cookies at us, buddy. Cut it, Jamie. The thing we come up with though is building fences. Pick guys are building fences and they don't want rain to sit on top of their fence post. So basically all we do is with our guides is we can remove the bottom, reinstall it. That puts you on about a 15 degree angle. So if we're running High tensile fence wire, we want to trim all of our posts the same above that wire. I use this as a gauge, so basically I can set that gauge on your top wire. I come in and clamp, and now I can trim all your fence posts off the same, and we don't have any water sitting on the top. That's a good, good idea. You can change it, but just the depth and how high we want. If you want to cut half of it, you can cut half, drop it down, we can cut it all. I got you. I got you. So the only thing, this fits every chainsaw, am I right? So basically what we're doing is we're going to replace your nut with our axle. Most, 98, 99% of every saw is either going to have a 5 16ths or an 8 millimeter thread. So basically we're tapped 5 16ths on one end, 8 millimeter on the other. If you start it and it's a little tight, flip it over and screw it in the other side. And that'll replace basically your nut, put our axle on, and every saw I own, that's my new saw nut because it doesn't get in the way. So then that's it. Anytime I want to put it in the jig, I'm just putting my saw nut on it. If I don't want to use your tool, I'm still using it. You're ready to go. The way we married this up is we've got a bushing and we've created a mill slot in our bushing that will control the swing of the saw. That way the saw, it can only travel back this way so far, that way so far. That way it can't come around and get us on the opposite end so we can control the saw. That keeps it on plane and it keeps it safe to where it can't come back and get us. That's good at 14 foot in the air, not getting hit with a chainsaw. You better believe it. So there's not even an issue with kickback. You've almost got yourself another guard there to help you. You do. You do. I'll tell you, we came up to the Paul Bunyan last year though, and the more we use it, The more uses we find for it. And so last year we had a lot of guys that were buying slab wood and they wanted to find an easy way to cut their slab wood and not have to, you know, handle that saw all day. So we made them a little firewood processor. Let's go over and check it out. Let's go see the flat top firewood processor. So basically we're using the same jig. We're removing the clamps and we've just affixed it to a fence. Take it away. That moves along pretty quick. Dan, the only problem we found with this is we just ain't got a big enough wheelbarrow. That's all you got to do is jack this up. We need to get him the multi-lander that he can actually move that around. Now, one thing I noticed that you're not saying that I'm already telling is that I'm not handling the saw. My back isn't hurting because you actually have a helping hand. It's almost like having a third hand holding the weight of that saw. You can operate with three fingers if you like. That's what I mean, if you're picking up a saw trying to aim it, I particularly, I like that feature because I know at the end of the day my back's hurting. Exactly. This is our miter scale, so if you're on a pole. So if you want to miter this thing, we don't have the table. Okay. So this is actually a angle gauge right here. This is 22 and a half degrees. We're just flushing it to the outside of this line. Flush at the bottom, we'll cut a 22 and a half degree right there. Okay. So if I just wanted to change this, I'm loosening up the clamp, I want a 30 degree, 40 degree, 45 degree, we're just putting it onto this line, flushing the bottom. So it has nothing to do with looking at your level bubble, because that's not what you're looking to cut. Just cut that angle. If you want to cut your deck post and make some decorative teepees on your deck post, run it all the way around. Oh, I got you. That's a good idea too. I mean, somehow you gotta do it. It is, for sure. That's the loudest little saw I've ever heard in my life. Okay? It sounds like a beast. It does sound like a beast. So is there anything else that this does? I mean, now you've had compound angles, angles, knee braces, straightening, chop saw, pole cutter, round putter, square cutter, and a lot. How many things does one jig actually have to do? It does. And then, you know, if you get in a situation to where you don't have room for clamps. You can remove the clamps. Okay, for storage. Well, not for storage, but ... On really big beams, you know, really big beams. Oh, if the beam ... If you don't have a ... If you got a big bar, big, big, big round, and you want to cut it, there's holes. So I can attach this, screw it to the post, and cut away. Same as how you mounted it right there on your square post. So it's actually, you've cut a square log, and you've just screwed in the base to it So that you know that you're going to run 90 degrees. So these look like they're just, I want to say, and I don't want to say regular clamp, these look like regular clamps. Six inch. Where you can actually buy longer. Put a four foot clamp on if you want. That's what I thought. So you're just replacing the pin and putting it in. Correct. Piece of cake. Correct. I got to tell you the amount of things that this one jig does is really why we're here with you because I love a multi, I always say it, I love a multi-functional And as usual, guys, for my members, I know my members-only club, these guys are going to give you an awesome discount. We're going to have them on our lives. We're going to show all our members what we got. And before long, everybody's going to have themselves a flat-top tool. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, my friend.
