Will one of the better units cut wood if I use a straight nozzle ? I'm not sure (because this idea just came to me mere seconds ago) what kind of pressures they develop these days , but I do know for a fact that I have used one (30 years ago in another life) To cut other difficult materials . All these questions come about because I got a stump . A big stump . A big red oak stump with a taproot . And it's right smack in the way of the shelter I'm about to build to cover my camper . I went out there on Sunday afternoon with a pick-axe , shovel , axe , and one of my chainsaws . I managed to chop out maybe 3 of probably 20 or more roots about 5"-6" in diameter . Then spent the next
2 days with lower back pain . There's gotta be a better way than diggin' and choppin' with an axe ! Then I thought about pressure washers ...
