I sharpened that big saw. Cut poorly on a dry 2x6. In studying Leonard Lee's book on sharpening, I think that the raker teeth are set for green wood, as they are much lower than the side-cutting teeth. That would explain the poor cut in dry wood. I'll experiment some more tomorrow. I may have to joint the tops of the side-cutters so that the rakers can do their job. Apparently, I will have to tune the saw to the type of wood I'm going to cut, i.e. green or dry wood, and possibly even hard or soft woods. I may never really need this saw, but it looks like it will be a great adventure to learn how to fully realize it's potential.
