PTO cut off saw?

  I've used those buzz saws before and they can be a lot of work- especially for 1 person. Nowdays I stack my slbs on 6x6s with 1 end even and with my 24 inch husky I can have those slabs cut and stacked on pallets ina lot less time and sweat than I could with a buzz saw. The big advantage of the buzz saw was that your slabs would be a more uniform length.

Here is what I call a roll case

WP lips,You could copy your buddies buzz saw, what would help for slabs is a longer than usual swinging table to support the long slabs.The long table would keep you from having to hold the slabs down with less tendency to bind.Most old mills used a jump or swing saw to cut slab where the saw moves not the slab.A buzz saw is a crosscut saw so the angle of the cutting edge should pass through the arbor hole.Any hook and they tend to grab, negitive hook and their harder to push into the wood.Frank C.

i have a couple (roll cases) confused me!   i think i call them roller tables or something. i was thinking a roll case was some kind of contraption i hadnt seen yet.    makes a good idea the way yours is set up in the picture.  i'm thinking i'm gonna take that design and at theend of my mill work something out like the picture>   thanks cpt crunch.

Biggest problem I have is no matter how you cut slabs they have to go somewhere this is where you need conveyor stacking them on  pallet takes time( at least for me this hand labor) Fire wood sells for 175.00 per cord here so if I get75.00 per cord for slabs and U load out of pile I don't get blisters loading what I would have to chip or burn anayway
