Yea but a circular saw is much more common. How many work trucks has a deep cut band saw in em?

    Am I missing something, possibly a joke? When he goes for the saw in the video the pipe is clearly already pretty much cut

    That being said, please do not attempt this in real life. These sign posts/ camera posts are often made of steel. For safely cutting any harder metal with a saw, you should use way slower blades (like a tenth of the speed of a wood saw). In the best case your blade will just fuse with the metal pole. In the worst case, your blade shatters or you will get a kick back that breaks your bones easily.

    or you will get a kick back that breaks your bones easily.

    Are… are your bones made of glass?

    Did you modify your saw? Is it now powered using a chainsaw engine?

    (You're right about the shattered blade, and the kickback can be brutal)
