This was a challenging cut.

[@user-vg8ov5my1t]

OUCH! Glade you guys finished it out.

[@MrJoRobb]

Agreed

[@Sinarglondong]

Very good ❤❤❤

[@MrJoRobb]

Thank you!

[@JamesJohnson-eo6ig]

Sucks that you guys hit metal but awesome you were able to push through it.

[@MrJoRobb]

Had no choice. We got it done. Still got some ok wood out of it.

[@jonathanechols9985]

That is why you run a metal detector.

[@ronaldmorrison2765]

The blue stain on the end of the log tells you there is steel in the log. The metal detector only tells you when you will hit it, not how to miss it.

Great info, gentlemen! We are still pretty new at this. Any help is welcome.

[@garygreen1787]

I always change blades after hitting metal. Otherwise your sawing speed is cut in half and you get horrible cuts.

[@MrJoRobb]

Normally, we would, but we had suspicion we would hit more, and we did.
