What is the next size, after 12 *inch ? * * Does it go to *14, or larger ?
BTW, will be cutting dozens of 6 x 6 *beams, so could cut down on work if we
had a saw that can cut in one pass.
Am building outside steps on a slope, in the mountains. *Will build

beam squares together wtih 10 inch galvanized spiral nails. *For the

drill press to drill pilot holes first.

I forgot the second part - drilling the hole.
Again, drill press accuracy is not required. A 3/8 or 1/2' drill and
"speed bore" spade dills are the route to go. I've BTDT.
