Bore Cut

These videos cover specific cutting techniques, and are supplementary material for our chainsaw safety course. They are not a comprehensive explanation of when to use the cuts, the potential hazards, or the basics of saw use.

Bore cutting is a versatile and safe way to fell medium to large diameter trees. Not only is it great for felling trees without leans, it prevents your saw being pinched on back-leaning trees and protects the cutter from barber-chairing on heavily forward leaning trees.
