Creekers,
I recently picked up a Disston rip saw on the bay (I know, sight unseen was the first mistake). When I received it it was mostly as described, other than the blade which was described as "straight" being (at least to my eye) anything but. Not a life changing amount of money if this turns into a lesson but I'd like to solicit opinions anyhow. On to the questions.
1) Is this even a make or break issue for general dimensioning work or am I being too anal?
2) If necessary, is it fixable? Whats the best way to go about it? Is it something I should tackle or best farmed out to those in the know? If farmed out how much of a hit to the pocket book and who should a guy look to?
Thanks in advance.
