Thanks for the comments on using a
miter saw blade with a weed trimmer.
Most people are like my
neighbor and report problems with it binding up when cutting small
trees which could be a result of not keeping the blade exactly even
during a cut.
Maybe in the future Stihl
will invent some sort of LED indicator you could look at and know which
way to tilt the blade to make the most level cut.
I keep thinking: Mark the zombie hunter.
