    Fair enough! I figure there’s a reason that’s the shape of a table/miter saw blade instead of a reciprocating action.

    I also personally just don’t trust a circ saw on round stock, since the shoe is designed to cut through planar surfaces. That’s probably more of a skill issue on my part though lol.

      Keep your body clear, grab onto the top nice and tight, keep your saw-holding arm semi-rigid and controlled, start the cut a little slow and the blade will take care of the rest.

      A good sawzall will still cut through 2in hollow round stock in under 35 seconds, so they’re both quick, I just prefer the circular saw for the extra speed. You could theoretically rock up on a bike and be gone with the wind in under 30 seconds if you get your flow down.
