I'm good enough with one to avoid kickback.
I'm pretty good at cutting firewood but not sure about this!


The underside of the nose won't kick, just anything north of
4:00. Keep your end of the bar low and take your time, the
chain on your saw didn't come filed for ripping. You'll still
need to plane the inside of the channel true.



In fact - I have done exactly this. Had to notch logs to make corner
pillars on my garage, and just used my chain saw.
