Looks hungry!! That side plate angle is pretty aggressive. Did you say this was for a bike saw??

Almost ready for the finishing touches. Just gotta stone it and try it.

Yep. Only takes a slight throttle bump and a few seconds.

A little longer if you slam your elbow into the garage door track trying to start your 084 while in the vise.

Or so I've heard. Lol

Lightly stoned
Started with the rakers at 2.5*, did a few test cuts and adjusted the rakers to 4*. Seems to work ok but I need better test wood so I’m not gonna mess with it anymore.

Quick video of a few test cuts. The wood is dry sticky spruce. I need some fresh poplar or something similar.

Here’s what the chips look like.

So you zero the angle finder from tooth to tooth, and then get the angle from tooth to raker? I think
