I find myself with a need to cut some 4x4 posts. They'll be used outdoors (pressure treated) and won't be used for anything being featured in Architectural Digest.
My choices are: a 10" mitre saw or a 7 1/4" circular saw. I know that ideally that's a job for a 12" mitre, but I really don't want to pay $300 - $500 to make 8-10 cuts.
I'm leaning towards the mitre just to have less work by not having to flip the posts 2-3 times to make multiple "passes" at the cut with the circular saw.
Last question is, if you think the 10" will get the job done, would a general blade or fine finish make the job easier or it doesn't matter.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide!
