I have six pieces of pressure treated 8"x8" railroad ties (8' long) that I
need to cut into short, 8"-10" long sections. What is the best way to go
about it? I can't use my compound miter saw with such a large cross
section, and I am not sure I can get a clean cut with a circular saw (not
with my skill level). Any suggestions?


Used ties? Get a saw from someone you hate. Or take your garden variety
bowsaw or crosscut and do it. Lots of grit in there, and then there's the
treatment. Neither will make the job easy nor improve the saw.
