The poles holding my porch over hang up are getting in bad shape. Priced a few and they're around $80 each, I have 8 that need to be replaced. Bought some 6" round posts and 2x8's to build my own, but I'm not sure how I'm going to cut them flush. Got some ideas bouncing around in my head on how to build a 90 frame out of angle iron and bolt some thin strips of plywood on the bar of my chainsaw, but not sure how that's going to work. Porch is concrete, so poles are going to have to be flat on both ends. Anyone have any suggestions before I start experimenting? Thanks in advance!

Need help making 90° miter cuts on 6-8" posts.

A 12” compound miter should cut all the way thru it and it would be a perfect 90. If not, rotate it slightly and finish the cut. If u use a bench and have a stop to bump the post u to for the length u can rotate it to finish the cut and it will bea perfect 90 and a lot better than anything u can d w a chain saw

I don't think I can make a straight cut all the way threw.
