Pete, I usually put the cable on BEFORE I start cutting.

You may want to adopt this method.

Unnecessary, if you use a open face cut, and wedges. The hinge won't
break until the tree hits the ground. It's much safer and more accurate.

Unfortunately that doesn't always work, the tree may be leaning in a
direction away from that which you wish it to fall or there may be wind
pushing it in a direction you don't want it go. In these cases no amount
of wedges will make it fall where you want it to, it's cable time.
