Hi Don:

I would just like to correct you, the Muley saw mill's blade that we operate is canted ahead on the top end by 1\2" not 1\4" as you mention. This is important if you are really working thye mill at any speed at all. If you are really pushing things ahead then you need to advance the top of the blade by 3\4" of an inch or more, by 1\2" is the usual amount of advance.

there are other adjustments that are critical, for instance the blade will need to be toed slightly away from the cutting line to account for the thrust against it during the cutting process. The thrust will bring it back into line and it will cut straight. Without the knowledge of proper adjustment it would be very difficult to cut straight, and know when the blade is wandering from poor adjustments or teeth that are dull on one or both sides.
