Wow part 50 already and I’ve seen them all

remember the saw blade that has been hammered, will flatten out some, not sure what the amount is ... i think the hammered blade is cupped away from husk frame, then opens up when spinning...

i asked one of the forums this question last year, this was their response: " How far should your saw be from the carriage? The biggest thing you'll have to consider is how far your dogs stick out. You need to clear them when they're all the way back. The next thing is how thin you want to cut. If you're looking for a dog board of 1", you should have 1/2" on your headblocks to support the board, or you could have a very unfortunate accident. I'm not sure what you mean by the floor of the carriage. Your carriage headblocks have to clear the collar. The collar sticks out more than the saw. If you're running an 8" collar, your carriage is going to sit about 5" higher, depending on the curve and thickness in the headblocks." i hope this helps... joe b.
