    Yes it was from a Gumtree ad in Sydney.

    Spent several hours chatting with the old guy on the phone he did his apprenticeship with diston. It was quite interesting hearing some of his views on the makers and industry.

    There are three types of carriers too, standard, breasted and one for keyhole saws.

    There is also a carrier for back saws that uses round head bolts as spacers so you can leave the back on while toothing. You can use a standard carrier you you remove the back.

    I thought the carriers were, straight, crowned, and backsaw.

    Is breasted another term or the correct term for the crowned one?

    What does the keyhole saw carrier look like?

    Crowned and breasted are the same thing.

    The difference between the backsaw carrier and the straight is the clamps, at least on the carriers I have, and the clamps are interchangable. I also have the gauges that are designed to set the position of the saw plate prior to toothing if anybody is interested in seeing a picture. I do have carriers that have an additional set of holes for the clamp bars - I assume that they're the backsaw carriers. I'll try to make photo's tomorrow, I was busy making Christmas presents today.

    Rob I'm sure there will be interest in the set up guage & probably dimensions. I hear the are one of the first thing to get lost. You would need to state which machine/model it belongs to as I read it isnt standard across all.

    Interesting thread. I am still looking for a key hole carrier and an extra 10ppi. I broke one .
    Hey Hiroller, did you get that 18 and 20ppi from me? I can tell you filing the 18 or 20 ppi is really hard on the eyeballs.

    Yes Ron, nicely made too!
    Hand toothing anything over about 14ppi is tough for the eyes!

    I wouldn't be doing any saw sharpening at all if it were not for the headband style magnifiers. I wear my reading glasses as well as my Optivisor magnifier and then it all becomes clear. Without that device I would be cactus.

    I have recently ordered a led light frame to suit it as it is really useful, imperative even, to be able to see the gleam of flat spots post jointing during the shaping phase. However that hasn't arrived yet. Next year.

    When I tooth saws, particularly > 10ppi, I clamp the ratchet bar to the carrier on both ends using small C clamps. I find this really helps produce a uniform blade. Here I'm cutting 20" of 14ppi on a piece of 2" wide X 0.015" 1095 for my saw set testing experiments.
