Oops guess my edit made another post, please remove this one. The other one is the edited one. Sorry.
I have seen some strange tooth patterns on saws recently. The one I have seen several times looks like the teeth are filed in pairs. At least one person selling this type tooth pattern said it was a combination cross cut/rip filling. The grooves between the double teeth are consistent. The grooves between each pair of teeth is consistent too, although this groove is not as deep into the plate as the groove between the pairs.
Is this some filling pattern that someone out there may be familiar with? I suppose the pattern could be filled out, but it looks like it would take a good deal of work. The pattern in the teeth looks to consistent for it to just be a bad filling job. It actually looks like it would be harder to file so it is hard for me to imagine that it was done without a purpose.
