Usage
Chopping
Mechanical Saws are powered through rotational force, and when placed down facing to the side they will automatically chop down wood blocks in front of them. When chopping down a tree, it will automatically destroy the entire tree by only destroying the bottom-most block. This also works with 2x2 trees as long as at least the last block (horizontally) is mined using the saw. Note that Bee Nests generated on trees chopped down by mechanical saws will not be collected, and will remain in place after the tree is removed.
Mechanical saws are automatically powered when on a create Contraption.
Sawing
When placed facing upward, the Saw applies sawing or stonecutting recipes.
