[SEL] Buzz saw

[Best, George]

With a hammer ;-)

My father had a factory made fixture for setting the teeth on buzz saw
blades.  Next time I go visit my mother I'll have to dig it out and take
a few pictures of it.

To use it you take the saw blade off the saw and place the fixture on
the shop floor (or you could use a work table).  You position a saw
tooth over the striking spot and hit the saw tooth with a hammer.  You
then turn the blade to skip a tooth and do every other tooth.  After the
one side is done, you flip the blade over and do the other teeth.

I have a 30" buzz saw  at home and we set the teeth on it several years
ago using that fixture.  Worked great.

I know that several of you have saw rigs so I'm comming to you for help
with mine.  I tried using it last fall to saw some firewood for the
steam engine with little success.  The teeth look to be in good shape
but there seems to little or no set to them.  How much set should the
saw teeth have?  How to I set them properly?
