Howdy from the U.S. I am currently a roundsaw benchmen at Potlatch Corperation located in ST. Maries, Idaho. Your question about trim saw's is very common. This way has worked best for me. Alternate top bevel 15 to 20 degrees 0 degree hook and straight face. If this doe's not work for you try turning one of your trim saw's around to cut the other direction and get a electrician to reverse motor. Probably the 0 saw so it will be easy to see the cut you are getting. I hope this will help. Take care.
