Saw score or just junk - Disston

[Bushmiller]

Dunno how you blokes determined this? The spine and blade end are neatly cut, and the end of the spine is slightly pinched, as they usually are - would someone cutting down a saw bother to do that? And is 13 points a common pitch for a mitre saw? I'd expect a longer saw might have had a coarser pitch, but not necessarily, of course.


Cheers,

Somehow the saw looks unbalanced: A bit too short. The end of the spline can still be pinched. You just cut the handle end instead (off the saw of course.) However, I don't think it is a mitre saw. Mitre saws are 11ppi. Also the heel is normally curved: The tenon saw is cut straight like this Thylacene's

This is a cut down mitre saw and a full size mitre saw next to it:

I have the same saw, it's a 10" too, I think it's the real deal. Mine carries an etch. Cost me $5.00 and $20.00 to sharpen. I've posted to this forum previously about this. I took a rasp to the handle to make it fit my chubby arthritic hands. It has become a very handy user.

When I say real deal I mean it was originally a 10" saw.

I don't remember how much mine cost, it was from Nock and Kirby's decades ago.
