    I've used that method before and one of the pieces of carbide came off and hit me in the cheek
    Plus I'm probably done cuttin' 260 heads in half

    Yeah you need to wear a full face mask and man is it messy but if you go slower is not so likely a carbide piece will come off but you know it will happen anyway just wear the right safety equipment and man it saves a lot of time verses a sawzall.
