A look at how Disston did It
4 short videos inside the Disston Factory showing the saws being made. disston Search Results | CriticalPast.com: Page 1
One point they show a saw blank being ground and say it is grinding the edges smooth, I suspect it could possibly be taper grinding?…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

That is an excellent find, Dale!
Intriguing and valuable footage. Literally valuable, apparently
In the fourth one, where they describe "embossing" ... I think it might be flattening the plate again after the toothing operation.
There also seems like there might be a rotating wheel of some sort bearing on the teeth ... hard to tell the relative distances.
Thank you,
Paul

I thought it was worth sharing and some of the guys would get a kick out of it.
