Thread: Saw Report 7

So Paul, did you watch it all?

Yes, in a few chunks. Some of it was listening while driving.
I realised I had thought of posting it, but left off until I heard it all.

It's ok - it's a talk at WIA, probably to power-tool folks - so there's a certain 'presentation' flavour to it.
And some opinion-subject-to-question maybe
But good enough to add to the listen sometime list of someone who is interested in the topic.

Cheers,
Paul

Bad news with the video Paul. I only lasted 45 sec before I felt the need to turn it off.

He sounds too much like a yank motivational speaker.

Stewie, I don't think there is much you could learn from a video like this.
You could be presenting it.

Paul Sellers ... setting xcut saws. Only about 10min but I haven't watched it yet.

I think it requires registering to the site.

I don't think that's it ... more nervousness at giving a talk, IMO.
He has experience on YouTube, but I felt this was different for him.

The actual sawing demo part starts about 1:30:00 and is alright, I think.
He makes a good demo of all the directions that your arm can move unhelpfully.
And he has "listen out for the rattle" in his bullet-points, which is a good pointer.

I meant to reply earlier - I can't now remember if he talks about how subtle movements and rotations of your hand can help and hinder the way the blade runs through the kerf and the cut.

Is there much use of steel toothed circular blades these days?

Actually Rob I snap them up whenever I can get them for free.

To my mind they are the best method of cutting corrugated (or other roofing) iron.

Make very certain you remember to reverse the blade so the back of the tooth is doing all the cutting and wear ear plugs and ear muffs (and safety eye protection of course). It is a prerequisite that you don' mind noise. These blades will outlast a fibre cutting disc twenty or thirty times over.

Paul's link is to quite nice device and very well presented, although the jointer looks more the type used for hand saws. Not quite sure how that would work on a circular saw.

Paul

Me too neither. Best way I know to joint a circular saw is to run the blade (again, backwards ), against a stone for a few seconds or however long it takes to get a bright spot on each tooth. Haven't done that for more than 30 years, it's been at least that long since I switched exclusively to TCT blades. I do remember how sweetly a freshly-sharpened steel blade cut, though. For about a couple of metres, after which you could feel it dulling rapidly!

Hahaha ... no, not mine ... just a pic posted online showing one entry in an imminent auction.
Work & family have capped the unholy urges ... for now ...
