I'm guessing you're talking about 4 by 4 posts?  I can cut through a 4 by 4 on 
my miter saw.  If  that isn't an option, most will make a cut with the circular 
saw through one side and then line up exactly opposite and make the same cut.  
The kirf will overlap and make the cut complete.  

If you don't like the idea of trying to cut opposite the first line, make your 
first cut, put the blade in the kirf and make a cut 90 degrees to the first 
cut.  Then go to the opposite end, and put the blade in the original cut line 
and make your last cut.  This requires one more cut but you'll have the same 
starting place for all of them.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] cutting off fence posts


  I'm building a fence and have a bunch of fence posts that I figure will be
much easier to try and cut off evenly rather than try and get them all in at
the right height when I pour the concrete.

Any ideas how to do this safely?

How do the professionals do it?

Thanks,
David
