This is a video of a drop cut technique. Works well but the pitch of the roof has to be taken into account. Also if your venting for contents fire and punching ceiling. The pieces that drop in may make it tough to punch. What do you think?
I like this cut. Good stuff Mike! One consideration that was pointed out to me when working on this over the summer, was the potential for the decking to fall into the fire compartment onto FF's or civilians. You know us hose jockeys are weenies. I like it a lot though...fast cut and you dont have to mess around with louvering the decking open. And if you dont need to punch ceiling, it's a one man job. Keep posting!

ReplyDeleteIt also can add fuel to an already involved attic. Works great for a trench cut if you apply it correctly. Thanks for the comment
