Since you have set the post completely uncut lengthwise you will be able to cut it later to the exact right size, which was the measurement we took in the beginning. You would not be able to tell what that exact size was before because of the usually arbitrary depth of the post plug bottom.

Next, mark off a square all around the post at the right measurement on all four sides then cut it most of the way through with a circular saw on its deepest setting. Be Carefull! Finish it off with a hand saw so that you can catch the the top of the post when it falls off.
