Here is our friend Jason demonstrating how to cut the heart out of a large tree he is setting up to drop. Observe that he starts his bore cut with the lower corner of the nose of the bar, pushes in to his right, then sweeps counter-clockwise while he holds the saw in the center of the hinge. Jason makes a point out of stopping to explain how to do the bore cut whenever someone new watches him. He's afraid that if he doesn't teach the method, the next time he sees that person, half their rear end will be cut off. If you try to punch straight in you will have a major kickback. Click back through my 'Chainsaw' posts and you will find a video I posted on the 'Bore Cut.'
