hi, new to sawmill and a slow convert to neanderthal'ing.
I just restored a D-23 (5tpi rip) and i believe i sharped it well and set the teeth correctly.
For some reason the first few inches of all my rips always come out very messed up, I start the cut on a push on a saw bench with one knee on the piece. After those chips, the cut is very smooth. Did i not restore the saw correctly or is there something wrong with my technique?
