I had to get this for a retaining wall I am buildingout of railroad ties. Its a Bosch Wormdrive saw and a prazi Beam cutter. I wanted to test it out so I grabbed a 6x6 and made my first cut it cuts great till you hit the hidden screw that was in the wood. now it will not cut for crap. Oh well I will sharpen it and and get a new chain and be more careful next time.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Aw, man - I had finally succeeded in putting the Prazi out of mind and you show me one up close and personal. I want one.  For those that don't know, think about having a circular saw that thinks it's a sawmill - and can produce evidence to support that rediculous assertion.
Major rockin' good score! 
Sorry about the nail.  but you still got your Prazi! | |

Doug I can get I think 120 more at 30 dollars each. They are The best quality I have ever seen. If you want some they weigh about 220 pounds each so need a truck for sure.

Jon,
Now that's a toy tool that totally rocks. Congrats on the snag. Sorry about locating some metal in the wood. Sounds like a good excuse to buy a metal detector. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")

Looks like a circular saw on steroids!  I hope your saw doesn't find itself in the midst of the Mitchell report.  Nice score!

If you want some they weigh about 220 pounds each so need a truck for sure. Jon, I'm surprised at that price for used RR Ties. I bought 30 of them last year from our local Lowes that were in good, solid shape for about $11 each. I was able to cull any marginal ones from the pile as well. I agree on the weight, though. I had a colleague's trailer and transported 15 at a time and unloaded them be myself. I'm glad I could move the trailer close to the work site; I tipped them off the trailer and moved them end-over-end slightly down hill, but it was still heavy work!
BTW, I cut mine with a chainsaw and always check for embedded gravel or any metal. So far, so good.

Rob,
They dont really look used and They are Sqaure cut for corners they were for a Show like railroad in Texas. They were only down for 60 days. I tried the chainsaw but didnt get the sqaure cut I wanted.

The last time I remember handling crossties by hand my dad had bought some used ones from a guy that did railroad repairs. Sent me to pick 'em up in a flatbed dump by myself. No one there to help me load 'em but the secretary. I got 'em on (in 90 degree weather) but I kept wiping my forehead with my shirt & blistered myself from the creosote in the shirt! Man, that's some nasty stuff! The Prazi is a cool tool. Cut SIPS panels real well too. Consucks are in order here. Now go on & get the metal detector. .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") | |
