Ok, I think I know what you are saying, I'm not so dogmatic in my views re felling.

When I make a directional felling notch I sometimes have to adjust the direction because I was slightly out with the initial top cut, so I will re-cut the top cut after the undercut has been made.

Which is similar to what you guys are doing in the 1st instance.

But I will never re-cut the undercut as a way of adjusting the direction of fell.

See what I mean?
