But you really should be on the lookout for a 5tpi saw and sharpen it up, I promise you that you'd wonder what took you so long to get this tool in your arsenal.

By "pitch," I meant tpi (I should've just said that), but yes, going with 5° rake will also make a difference.
Thanks guys, the LN is Definelty too small for this task, working on a solution. Mike has a few saws in mind.

Sorry Steve, 7 TPI. It moves through 4/4 with ease, but this saw is even challenged to cut through 8/4 rapidly.
