That’s great to hear; Now I need to try the same over Christmas! Have a good one yourself 🙂
19 December 2013 at 6:05 pm #24184I have this on my tenon saw but not on my panel saw. I think I may have got the rake on the teeth a bit too aggressive on the tenon; but I’m not sure. I’ve tried removing some of the set which only helped marginally.
8 December 2013 at 3:07 pm #23289Hi!
I’ve been restoring some of my Granddad’s old tools (very slowly thanks to too many life things getting in the way) and had a similar issue with his brass backed tenon of 14PPI. I’ve managed to smooth the cutting action (mostly) by reducing the set of the teeth where it seemed to snag using Paul’s two-hammers method. The initial set seemed far too much, despite using a ‘fine’ saw-set at it’s finest setting (supposedly for teeth up to 24PPI).
Now, I’m pretty much as new as can be to this tool-restoration stuff but another thing I noticed while I’ve been working on his panel saw is that over the years (and with deteriorating eye-sight I’m sure) the depth of some teeth were way off that of others. I’ve had to completely remove the teeth from the panel saw and I don’t doubt that teeth of an uneven depth will also cause a stopping motion, so maybe check that?
Anyway, I now have to figure out how to cut new teeth when I’ve only got a Black and Decker workmate to use as a table/clamp, and the saw won’t fit in…
Good luck with your saw!
24 March 2013 at 8:48 pm #9773FYI: I did as suggested (though I used clamps onto some spare hardboard rather than screwing a rule to some MDF – same result, immovable straight edge).
The square is off by 3mm at 240mm extension – half a millimetre less than I’d thought, but still, seemingly, a heck of a lot off.
22 March 2013 at 8:02 pm #9749Great diagram too, thanks, I shall be checking it like that tomorrow 🙂
19 March 2013 at 7:34 pm #9626Lapping is a no-go; I’m just starting out in Woodwork and have almost no experience, very limited tools, and nowhere to get access to better tools. I’ve made a note though for future use, thank you.
Alas, returning it is also likely to be out of the question as it’s a good few weeks ago now.
I’ll order one of the ones recommended by Paul in his Tools series and (now I know I should) I’ll check it for square when it arrives.
Thanks for the help 🙂
19 March 2013 at 7:31 pm #9624According to Google that’s 9.44″ and off by 0.138″ (which would be a little over 1/8th)
Hmm, guess the B&Q square is considerably out then. Thanks.
