Reply To: Saw Whip

This is only a guess, but maybe you are pulling the saw back through the cut on an angle and not perpendicular to the kerf. This would cause it to flip back and forth at the tip until the saw was drawn all the way through.
I think having it set too much on one side can cause this also. Of course, I could be way off, but I had a saw do this and I took the set out (Like Paul describes in one of his videos) and re-sharpened and re-set the teeth and now there is no flipping back and forth.
YMMV.
