Good video!! I just bought the same Beam Cutter from Harbor Freight and while I was trying to figure out how to mount it on an old electric Craftsman skil saw I have, I ran into the SAME problems you mentioned and also was close to giving up. Of the 5 arbor bolts, 4 of them were too small for my saw, plus they were all fine thread. The one bolt that was the right size to fit, also had fine thread,, so it also would not go into my skil saw which is coarse thread. like you, I ended up using a bolt I had lying arond my shop. Hercules acutally makes it difficult with poor instructions and multiple parts included that you won't need or use. I'm still having a hard time getting the bar lined up right and mounted to my saw arbor but I continue to keep watching videos and presevering!
Looks like a great saw. That thing could handle a railroad tie without a problem. Thanks for the video, and a very Merry Christmas to you and Julie. Be well my friend.
Great explanation really good is only sostain by the screw on the center and the on the left circular blade deep adjustment .thank you . For some reason I was thinking that also need it to be sustain on the right side but is not really necessary .thanks for the video
Looks like that would come in handy working with the sawmill and making really big beams!! Thanks for sharing!
You bet thank you so much for the comment.

You are welcome im glad you enjoyed the video.
I coulda used that when I was cutting those beams for my cabin foundation.
I might need to get me one of them.
We have a project coming soon will be using it.
Kevin, I never get them straight either with my circular saw, have a great Holiday.
Will be using it on a project soon.
Happy Holidays my friend.
How does this compare to using a regular chainsaw?
You have more control.
It does give you more control thanks for the comments.
I have one as well, I haven’t used it for my original purpose, but I plant to use a fence to get fairly precise cuts.
The name Hercules fits it to a T. Quite a piece of equipment.
It sure does thanks my friend.
Looks like you could do some damage with that thing.
You bet thank you Frank Merry Christmas.
