How to measure the appropriate angles?

PS lucky this is not a photography forum and I can get away with smartphone images

Just want to push a small point, Bob hates smart phone cameras,that’s all I’m saying I hope he feels dirty.

Apologies, I'm interested in the topic, but unable to join you tonight.

But here is a contribution, in absentia.

This is the tooth pattern on my 1 or 2 man crosscut saw...

At glance it looks like a standard 'Great American' tooth pattern, but looking up closer at one of the triplets with the perforated hole, it is quite different...

That triplet has a forward and back raker, like on the 'Champion' tooth pattern (see image below). It's a hybrid of the 'Great American' tooth pattern on a pair of triplets set between the raker triplets. Some Nth American college saw racing teams use a similar tooth pattern to this.

It's a very effective saw tooth pattern for bucking hardwood firewood.

The rakers have no sideways set and are hammer 'set' forward and back. The alternating sideways set on the other teeth is also done with a hammer before sharpening.

I would rather use the Stihl type saw.

I would rather use the Stihl type saw.

When it comes to chainsaws, I'd rather use one of my professional Huskies...

But, you don't get quite the same workout using one of those compared to a big crosscut...

And, it costs less to run... my heating bill this winter has been zero.

[Pagie]

You can never have too many stihls.

That's not how I understood it. I thought that I was the one asking for assistance and advice and that you three honourable gentlemen where the ones who were going to do the educating and demonstrating.

Well last night's session proved why the above quote (6th October 2021) is correct - to say the I had the theory all "ballsed-up", was well and truly proven.

But some good came from it - Matt sent me a link to BlackburnTools web site which included a link to an excellent blog post - Concerning saw files (which I am now selling) | Blackburn Tools. If you need assistance in understanding file geometry and how it relates to sharpening your hand saws, this is an excellent post - thanks Matt.

Nice going Bob, I thought you may have had things a little bit muddled, an glad you have stoped over analysing it,.

Nothing Pagie an I can’t sort out when it comes to over thinking it.

Cheers Matt.
Next Sunday night Jabber Bob the saw guru will be telling all.

Might be a good job I took the night off if over-thinking was the problem. It's one of my strong points.
