I have a kinked 22" 10 PPI Disston skew back saw, looks to be a 1903-1922 D100 or 1928-ish D-112 or maybe a late D12. Handle is original AFAIK but doesn't match any photos I've seen in the usual Disston websites. Teeth sharpened up real well. Kinks are about 6" from toe. Given that this is a relatively fine tooth but kinked saw I don't see how the plate will every produce accurate/smooth results. I have a 26" #12 10 PPI that leaves a real smooth surface, but too long for bench use. Also I want a vintage Disston (or similar) bench saw (~ 16"), but those are in real short supply, basically none to be had. So thinking of cutting down the 22" saw to about 16". Any thoughts on how it will perform and how to cut it down and so on?
