The lumberyard in my small town manufacturers a variety of surveyor's stakes from mostly dimensional lumber. Most start with units of 2x3, 2x4, or 2x6 material cut to length.

They cut the units to length with a Stihl 880 equipped with a 60" bar.

They are not very diligent about maintaining their saw.

On this occasion, the clutch bearing was so packed with fine, pine pitch loaded sawdust that the clutch/bearing was virtually locked up. Getting the clutch drum off is not a simple task, but getting the shaft, drum, and bearing cleaned up & lubricated was a simple fix.
