Video Tutuorial: Tuning a Pipe Saw in Three Easy Steps

[Definitive Dave]

We are allowed a peak into the mysterious world of hand built pipe saws and how to really make them perform.
Special thanks to @spencerpaving and @jeepsnchainsaws for allowing us unrestricted access to this normally secretive process.
If @Mastermind , @Jon1212 or @Gentleman feel this should be moved to the technical or race saw areas I will understand.
The gains they make from the first cut to the second over the course of a little over a minute of fine tuning are remarkable.
I wont give it away but rest assured the cut time is more than twice as fast.

[Mastermind]

Awesome.

 

[cus_deluxe]

So all you have to do for 500% improvement is make the saw cut 1/5 the amount of wood? Sounds like witch doctor stuff to me...

 

[spencerpaving]

Good times!!!! Thanks Dave the secret is out

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

That's a true woods port.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I missed that demonstration

Thanks for sharing. The other vid makes more sense now

 

[Deets066]

Man.... now I really know how to tune for all out speed

 

[astnmacgto]

I feel as though I've been bamboozled, hoodwinked. If my math is correct, It takes 2 saws to make a fast one

You could do it with one

Could make build another and bolt it to the bar. Apposed twin but not a boxer. Dual fish tail pipes, cromed for extra power.

Now I just don't know what to believe

No worries.
He'll cut out or miss completely.
Or maybe he'll forget to put the switch in the "run" position on a cold start.

Just Dave being Dave

Or he'll start it on the ground and lift the wrong handle first...

When I make spare ribs
They is buttery dabone
gotta get me some.

What you said was so poetic Jeremy, I took the liberty of editing it a bit and changing it to a haiku. Hope you don't mind.
