Ok, I've tried cutting the end with a sawzall, the ends come out
uneven. I tried with a circular, I can't ever seem to get the

line up when I flip the wood to do the other side. And the miter
saw
I
have just isn't big enough.

I've resorted to having Home Depot cut them there, but they don't
do
precision cuts, and sometimes they are too busy and I don't want
to
wait.

Add in the fact that sooner or later I'm going to have rough sawn
4x4
that I will have to cut myself regardless.

Besides buying a really big miter/radial arm saw, any
suggestions?

Either get more accurate with your skilsaw or use a power sander on
the
cuts. This is sort of silly.

Especially since dead square post tops are undesirable. Chamfered or
sloped tops don't hold rainwater, and will last longer.

The OP never said anything about post tops...

Why would anyone want to cut the part that sits buried under 3 feet
of
concrete square?

LOL, the OP just stated he wanted to know how to cut a 4x4 post!!! Unless
I
missed a post somewhere, he didn't specify if it were in the ground.
Considering he said he has Home Depot cut them for him, I don't imagine
they
are.

It's for a bed post, sorry if I led anyone astray. Although I'm
learning a lot about other techniques even if not for my application.-

Or buy a Festool Jig Saw. Great capacity and a very square cut.
