I re-toothed my Disston Panel saw with a 6" slim taper sc saw file. It is a Grobet USA American Pattern Saw File.
The file performed well. It did not dull that I can detect from this one sharpening. I was concerned with all of the
recent reports about saw files being soft. I'm not recommending the files, but thought you might like to know what
I experienced. The files arrived this week. I ordered them through Amazon. I bought a box of 12 files.
The teeth are shaped, so now on to sharpening. I re-toothed it 8tpi with 15 degrees of rake, I will sharpen it with 20
degrees of fleam. I am able to do this because I have Ron Herman's saw sharpening video.
After filing the the saw
plate smooth, removing all of the old teeth, I colored the smooth tooth line with the red marker.The red helps seeing
where your at if distracted and I need all the help I can get.
