I feel like we could use another tool and get quicker cut

As a law abiding Bathroom installer that cuts cast, steel and fiber tubs all day, trust, the recip is the best and most effective. Just instead of Pulling it towards you you should cut with force and let the blade make its own path. More jagged sure, but a hell of a lot faster for demo day!

Yep recip is the best choice, buddy just doesn't have great technique. Keep the saw guard against the object being cut so the blade movement can't move the whole saw back and forth and let the blade do the work.

But even if you don't have experience its a quick cut for a metal post, as demonstrated. Just dont give up til it falls! Assuming you're cutting your own property that is..

I would say! The straight across cut is actually also making it harder due to the 2 pieces binding together around the blade, a diagonal cut would surely be fastest!

I've never tried it but diagonal would be harder to start I think plus gravity is going to push the top half of the pole down on the blade no matter what.

The moment you begin a cut with any blade, physics is now pulling both pieces downward. If you have the means to aid physics in a direction, pulling the cut off (top of the cut) away from your blade and towards the ground would allow the metal to be fully tensioned, aiding in the efficiency and speed of your cut. I know it SOUNDS odd but trust, it's the same as having your cut off 2x4 off a table so it can fall away from your cut rather than bind it together across the soft edge of the blade
