Paul’s advise is excellent and priceless.

You 2 make a good team. Thanks for sharing.

That was one of your better sign-offs! Thanks, Brock.

Always enjoy a video with Paul 👍

I have to say you have a great neighbor ! Easy to get along with and not in to big of a hurry ..I like someone to show me and then let met do the process then head out..Hands on in front of the teacher..so to speak..Same as always a great video..!!

Howdy Brock! Such a luxury having an experienced and knowledgeable friend around to learn from. Good stuff and thanks for sharing 🤠

i like your hat, Paul

I have a Cooks Setter and Sharpener. .025 - .028 set per side. Proper Cam needed for different Tooth Profiles in the Sharpener. 7/8" Tooth Space Lenox Cam for the most common Tooth. The Setter is run manually but very accurate and fast.

Great video Brock. Paul is a wealth of knowledge. I've been debating getting the sharpener and setter from WM as well. With limited free time and a full time job, I just don't know if I want the extra hassle. It would make for good rainy day work sharpening blades. Maybe I missed it if you asked him, but could you ask Paul if a blade that hits serious metal can still be sharpened with these inexpensive sharpeners.

Sure would be nice to know where he bought that manual blade advance. I already have a chainsaw sharpener. This is the setup I'd prefer.

Always a good time with Paul lol

In researching this same topic I think that the blades are breaking due to him not grinding the gullets. They form micro fractures that if not ground off will cause the blade to fracture.

Thanks for this video great advice...I always found pine hard to cut because of the knots.

I used to work in a meat market and the saw blades on the meat saws were similar to those and extremely sharp. I handled those blades bare handed and folded them up like Paul did to put them in a sink to wash. They won't cut you if done properly, but like Paul's, my hands are pretty calloused. This was an excellent video btw!

Thanks for covering this. I have the same mill as yours and haven’t decided what to do with the 5 dull(?) blades I have. I only mill cherry, oak, maple and walnut in +18” diameter. I’ve experienced diving many times even on fresh blades. I’ve checked everything and it appears to occur at knots. I’m sure retirement will free up enough time to sort it out but for now it’s going to be cutting thick and flattening on the jig.

I’m a Sawdoctor over here in Australia and been trained in the art and I did work in a timber mill and I know when a blade is blunt!

Thank you for a very informative video!🙂🍃

Love it when you visit that man!

I enjoy it every time. I’m gonna bring that boom mower over there next and trade some work for some logs

Thanks paul good video!!!!!++++++

Sounds like a little side business you might could start up. If you can sharpen 20 blades an hour at $6/ea, that's $120 an hour. Perfect for those rainy days.

Most interesting. Know nothing about blades. Thanks again.

I have a chainsaw sharpener, but I have been doing those with a Dremel tool instead for a long time, I'm planning to try to sharpen my bands with that on the mill....🤷‍♂️ we'll see how it goes before I spend anymore

The Setting of the saw is as important as Sharpening.Set before sharpening. You can Sharpen up to 10 times if no damage. Well over 56 years experience here. I charge 14.00 ea

I got a setter and sharpener but I’ve only used them a couple of times

This might be worth some investigation for your mill. I follow Matthew Cremona's YT channel. He built himself a very large bandsaw mill -his blades looked twice as big as yours- a few years back. I also remember he had a vid about using carbide tipped blades versus regular steel blades. I think I recall that the carbide tipped blades, even at their additional cost, were head and shoulders above the steel blades in durability. I also recall that they just laughed at cutting through all kinds of buried metal in the giant "urban" logs he milled from time to time.

Thanks for sharing. I watched one video talking about the carbide blades. Seems like that person didn’t recommend them for most people. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea.

I have sharing my blade 7 or 8 times before they break my blade I get from Cooks bandsaw

Got some pine logs .9 fters

I'd trade him some sawdust for his fields for him to sharpen them for me & a 1/2 dozen chicken eggs 🥚 🤪

Hey, We are ONWOTE, a manufacturer of PoE and Wireless Security Camera Systems. Do you plan to install a security camera to protect the safety around you? Now, we are looking for partners to install and review our camera system, so any chance for us? I had emailed you the details of the sponsorship. Hope can get your reply and move forward!

Sawdust and sparks, looks like an extreme fire hazard.

No wonder this guy breaks blades after one sharpening. His process is nothing like what a real bandsaw sharpener does

Micro cracks will start in the gullet. That's why the best sharpeners will do the gullet as well.

The hardest thing about changing the blade is putting on the gloves that come with the saw 😩

I’ve been wearing gloves when I handle the blades, but Paul can make his own choices
