I enjoy building post and beam structures on my farm and this is the tool I've always wanted and always been terrified of. Right now I use a chainsaw-bar mod on a circular saw, which maybe is just as sketchy, but certainly doesn't make as good of a cut as this would.
The chainsaw-bar-on-a-circular-saw-mods vibrate something fierce. Unless you have a speed square clamped to the piece there's no way you are getting a straight cut. Tenons are also a bit ugly as the cut is too rough (you'd have to chisel/sand after the cut) and a chainsaw bar is ever so slightly oval meaning you'll either get some overcut in the middle or finish it with a hand saw. Stopping at the right spot to handsaw the rest is really hard to do.
I might pull the trigger. But it's still a pricey tool. Ugh thanks for posting.
Do I need this tool? not if you have to ask.
