Why Angled Back Cuts Are Dangerous. A common sight and especially used amongst people who are new to felling trees is using an angled back cut. ... On a standard horizontal back cut a wedge lifts the tree. However with an angled back cut the wedge will try to push the tree forward, against the grain. That's one problem, the other is the weight of the tree is also now mainly on the hingewood and little shared with the wedge.
