[QUOTE="historicalarms, post: 29926, member: 978"] I had two bars I wanted flat on two parallel sides one time. I did that sideways cut peter suggested in my saw on the first bar but it was a slow process to get the cut started, but after you get a small slice started the blade will just follow that slot the same as a longitudinal cut. You have to clamp the piece in the saw then while holding the saw bar up, start the saw. now very slowly manually let the saw down to just lightly start the cut...more or less it just wears a small notch in the work to begin with. It worked but for the second bar I found a much better way to start the cut. I pinched the bare in the mill vise and just quickly cut two parallel notches down the bar sides with a endmill...now when I clamped it in the saw vise with the notches straight upright, I had a perfect flat spot for the blade to bite in.
