Awesome, yes I saw this one when I first subscribed! I am a woodmizer guy, but your videos are extremely helpful and informative 👍

[@floydbrennan9300]

Awesome video I love listening and learning from the older generation appreciate the video mr. Roberts and Thomas keep up the videos I can't wait to see you new sharpening and setting room

[@shanenmannies3782]

Absolutely love it, it's the video I've been looking for, thanks you 😊

[@melissatuason2395]

I could spend hours just watchin & talkin all day

We need to preserve the knowledge of people that know how to work with their hands and make due, someday the throw it away and get a new one mentality will get us in trouble. Enjoyed the video.

[@TCSawmills]

Amen to that!

[@subjectofgov]

I like your thinking. I do the same with what I have. My wife calls it junk.

[@Toonseskat]

Very innovative. The gloves anywhere close to the rollers on the “unsetter” is extremely dangerous. That roller grabs the glove, you might be known as “Lefty “.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there good idea john

[@mcpiddler1135]

I have the same equipment, but have not set it up yet. Thanks for the videos. I will use some of his ideas eventually and it will shorten my learning curve I'm sure.

[@rogercalza9936]

Please forgive me if I am silly but...Blades are made by first cutting the tooth and gullet. That process causes the sharpening of teeth. Then the teeth are set left, right and left center. So the sharpened edges are twisted away from when formed. In contrast,,,,,We sharpen a dull blade with the teeth set. So our sharpened teeth derive a very different (and uniform) cut angle. This does not seem to be what occurred initially during blade formation,. Am I incorrect?

[@fromanabe8639]

I have a large Laguna bandsaw which I use chiefly for cutting up firewood. The blade on it is pretty dull but I'm not looking forward to doing one tooth at a time for a hundred and fifty teeth. How about mounting the blade backwards, turning the saw on, then holding an ordinary knife sharpening stone against one side of the teeth, then the other. It probably wouldn't be as good as doing each tooth individually but it would be a lot quicker.

[@kensullivan5390]

Do you have any videos on 30 inch buzz saw blades.

[@TCSawmills]

I have a buzz saw or rather a bucking saw that we are rebuilding. Mr. Robert has set and sharpened the blade for one too. I'll look around for something interesting.

[@kensullivan5390]

@@TCSawmills would really like to learn how to set and sharpen one

[@coldspring624]

[@dellrand3628]

Hi I have several blades needing to be sharpened how can I contact you or Mr.Roberts and what you charge?

[@TCSawmills]

Hello, do you have an email address? I can send you Mr.Robert's contact information. He does an outstanding job and very competitive prices. Are you near the lucedale ms area?

[@dellrand3628]

Thomas O'Bryant Mr O'Bryant my contact e-mail is [e-mail] , I live about 30 miles east of Natchez MS down in the southwest corner of MS. Thx for your time. WLR

[@TCSawmills]

I emailed you his info, sorry for the delay.

[@carsonfancher5889]

I clean the blades and my de setter is way better than that and takes half the time so some of us out there clean and de-set

[@MrRackinroll]

Question Why would you want to remove the set f rom a band saw blade. set is very important to cutting, explanation please

[@TCSawmills]

Sometimes if you hit something it can take the set beyond where it should be. If all the teeth are reading around 22 thousandths and a few are at 35 thousandths the ones set too far will leave deep marks on the wood and will be over stressed. Another thing we can do is take all the teeth back to a lower set using a tool we have then essentially start from scratch to ensure consistency of the final set.
