Default Re: To cut Cleanly?

Hey again, well most of what I'm cutting is mild and relatively soft, but the reciever and so on...... even with soft, mild steel I have been having to resharpen at least once an hour.... at least knock the face back a little, to keep nice and clean...I can really tell the difference between a fifty and fifty five degree face as far as longevity goes, and adjusting the included angle down a bit has really helped clean up the cut.... I'd like to go back to fory five and seventeen but allready know the results.... it could be my relative lack of experience, that causes the need for frequent sharpening, regardless, this post and the advice that everyone has shared has made a big difference for me..... I am now cutting the actual piece.... looks good so far... Thank you all once again, Jim
