    Default A few old saws

    Well cleaning the shed and sorting tools and boxes and found a few saws plus a couple a guy gave me when i did a feeebie on the job.

    Paul .... sorry no Simonds

    Pete ... couple of S&J's I believe



    Bottom two are SJ on screw

    Then there is this no name?


    A superior which i thinknis diston



    A diston



    And a couple more more superiors i think





    Then two baked and a plastic handle



    The plastic handle is valuable only to me as it was my dads. Guess it dates to the 70ies and he died in 85



    Has an unusual tooth pattern. Not sure what it is designed for. Im only a chippy, what would i know about saws lol



    Feel free to share some info or ask for better pics of any that grab your interest.

    Amazing what you'll find when you get the broom happening
    You should start the resto of your Dad's saw first. I reckon it's cool.

    A couple of my old crosscut saws have this pattern, I have always assumed that the first few inches are to establish an initial cut that the coarser teeth will fit into for some serious work.

    Any idea on the deeper gullet every 4 teeth? Is it just to help clear material?
