"felling calipers"

[Plasmech]

I don't know what they're called, but to me they are felling calipers...basically a compass used to set up a face cut. I've seen them in videos before but never seen them for sale. I guess I could make a pair easy enough though. Crap now I forget what this post was even going to be about. Oh yea, so does anybody use them and who sells them? (but I'll just make a pair)

For situations where taking an extra 5 minutes to get the face cut perfect is just the right thing to do.

I used to chalk face cuts for felling in tight places. These days I am too lazy and frankly don't need to anymore. I can see that having the face cut drawn exactly right would help you develop a good eye.

Forestry Suppliers used to carry them. Once you have your saw sighted in tho you shouldn't need calipers. Just a stick out @ 50 foot from the tree.
