Thread: Hard on the ol' teeth

Paul

It would be interesting to know how long one of those logging style saws would last in that application.

Do you have any recommendations for tooth style? I am thinking rip.

Regards
Paul

I was trying to get a look at the teeth. From the fleeting glimpses you get, it looks like they have symmetrically triangular points, which seems to make sense. I guess you don't need a lot of set, either...

Watching that video took me back a bit (50 plus years !) to my teenage years, on the end of a crosscut saw with my old pot keeping up a steady, grueling pace on the other. Mostly, we cut nice, green Stringybark, which is pretty easy going in the scheme of Aussie hardwoods. I think I'd have been doing twice as much snivelling & whining if we'd been limestone cutters!

Aah, the good ol' days, when things were bad....
