Just thinking about bucking all my firewood with a 16" bar makes my back hurt.Buck 16” with a 16” bar use the bar tip to mark the next cut in the beginning. After experiencing it you need nothing.
I had seen that video before. I thought it was a good idea and you can easily switch sides of the bar.I made something like what is shown in this vid (you can skip to the 6-7 minute mark if impatient). A stronger magnet will make for a better experience - it takes more than a bump to dislodge the one I made.
I can attest that mine was super easy to make. I found neodymium magnets to be almost too strong and not very expensive.I had seen that video before. I thought it was a good idea and you can easily switch sides of the bar.

Es para que pueda cortar leña a una longitud específica.Para que es este invento?
Absolutely great idea mate, and you could easily sell this design. I might steal it. I normally either do it by eye and end up with wood of all different lengths - I have a jig for helping to make them shorter) or I have a length of 1x2x16" wood painted bright yellow and will use that for doing paint marks (usually do this when the wife is helping me). I've looked at the magnet ones before and i think they are ok if either the bar is longer than the wood you're cutting, or if you just use it for pre marking, but your idea would be great no matter the bar in use and won't get in the way. The only problem is probably that it'll get in the way when not cutting and you can only use it cutting right to left down a log.Been wanting to build something like this for quite a while. Finally got around to it. Took me 30 min and 20 of that was running around for drill bits.

You can use it left to right if you place it on the log, reference where the tip of the measuring bar is and then keep your eye on it as you move your saw. If you find a grain, leaf or knot you can usually get it bang on.. The only problem is probably that it'll get in the way when not cutting and you can only use it cutting right to left down a log.
Ah, i guess so. And I guess if you have it rub against the log as you cut it'll leave a guide line for your next cutYou can use it left to right if you place it on the log, reference where the tip of the measuring bar is and then keep your eye on it as you move your saw.

You could probably save yourself some time and frustration by putting the 20" bar on the 660But whenever I use my 660 (with 28" bar) my eye goes to hell, and all my logs end up too long, even though I'm doing it all just by looking at the log. It pisses me off when trying to load them into the woodstove, because most of them end up an inch or two too long, and then I've got to cut them into little short logs, and waste a bunch of time and gas and sawdust doing it...
