I tried to sharpen a Silky saw years ago...it didn't go as planned. Nice video, Mike.

Great info mike !

[@mike451]

hey friend how are you

[@mervmartin2112]

Great Video. You got the saw set too. That's rare. You can use different set angles for dry and wet wood (you don't have to copy the manufacturer, he has no idea what your cutting). The saw set sets the kerf (width of the cut). Raker teeth are used when you want a narrow kerf, they rake out the sawdust. With a wider kerf, the cutting teeth will do that. You might want to look into a cant (cantilever) file. They're thinner than the triangular file you're using and can sharpen finer teeth.

Thanks for the video Mike, it probably wouldn't hurt to sharpen one of my old ones and keep it for a spare.

Thanks Mike. I have an antique huge 2 man saw...it's in great condition, I'm guessing I can do the same on it?

[@mike451]

yes sir Josh thats right

[@pnyarrow]

Hi Mike. Thank you for sharing that great knowledge once again. BYYou can always buy a new sawblade unless you run out of money or they run out of blades and that can happen very very quickly. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

[@mike451]

yep sure can brother

[@FellVoice]

When calculating the tooth per inch of a saw do you count the rakers or just the teeth?

[@mike451]

@@FellVoice the teeth
