    Hope you are keeping well in these interesting times.

    Yes Matt, got it in one!

    Thanks Gavin (and Matt)

    It was obvious really, but I didn't see it.

    Yes, holding up well despite the bug, which hasn't made it to our immediate area: Probably too inhospitable! Work is a bit different nowadays. We are considered an essential industry so you have an adequate supply of electrons to feed to your power tools and for the hand tools you still need some light.

    All good.

    Hi Guys, on the first 10 or 20 saws I made I used old saw blads as pattern for the toothing. Works a charm, but you only have the choice you have. Then a fellow german Plane Maker Gerd Fritsche made me a set of pattern from 11-20 tpi. These are laser cut and therefor a tad harde then the file so there is very little wear. I use my first set for 10 years now.

    I am sure Gerd will help you too, if you need a set.

    Cheers
    Pedder

    It is clear there are many ways to mark teeth for a blank sawplate. Some of course are better than others. At the end of the day a bigger problem for me is forming the tooth and the resultant extra wear on the saw file and in particular the corners. A file will sharpen a number of saws but re-toothing either a blank plate or re-shaping a toothline in poor condition knocks the hell out of a file. Really the only satisfactory solution is to have a re-toothing device that punches out the shape. A triangular punch (preferably hydraulic) and adjustable fence would seem to be the answer, but how to go about that has me stumped for the moment.

    Could something like this be modified to accept a triangular punch and a corresponding die. The punch and die would need to be adjustable for different rakes.

    It seems possible but a 60° punch and matching die would need to be made specifically.
