Currently, the only benefit of the stonecutter is to reduce wasting blocks when creating stairs, as well as crafting a specific amount of special blocks. Also, stairs are a pain sometimes because they are limited to needing multiple stair blocks to create corners, and some designs using all corner stair blocks are impossible (only a 2x2 square and diagonal rectangles are possible). Not to mention, the forced corners might not be desired for some designs.
Why not remove the automatic "bending" mechanic and refer that to the stonecutter? A stone cutter can then create an "X Inner Stairs" and "X Outer Stairs", as well as even vertical slabs (1:1 as to not abuse resources, iirc this is why stairs are craft-inefficient). Standalone corner stairs have many uses, from the bottom row of a corner staircase being one block, to a design "missing" pieces.
Lastly, rename it to saw or something, so that wood can also be used in the same fashion. Wood/log stairs would be cool too (not just planks). This has already been suggested, but relevant to this overall suggestion.

Oh goody, no
Dividing what whe have now into even more block variants?
I don't recall having a rabbit farm anywhere, where will I fit all that mess in my inventory?
I'm OK with bending mechanics, there are few things it cannot handle now.

Maybe a Shaping Tool? Would work similar to the Debug Stick for walls/fences, stairs, iron bars, etc. Was just messing around more with walls and iron bars combos, and since walls don't default to tall without blocks/walls above them, it's nice to manually set them to tall so that they match the height of iron bars, and remove the center "pole" in some cases.
