I'm sure there's about 1000 little cutters on the damn thing.
I might be finished just in time for tomorrow's chat if I work hard.

Suggest that you try my method:
* belt sander with 40 or 60 grit belt to take off surface crud and make all nasties highly visible,
* Manually remove all nasties,
* Then to jointer/thicknesser.
Rather than belt sander, I sometimes use a hand planer with sacrificial blades for the first step.
This minimises but does not remove risks

Graeme I use similar methods already, including metal-grinding flapdisks when needed. It has not so much been the extra steel bits, which have been few and far between. Some of the timber I have processed in that time was about as hard as steel anyway. A hell of a lot of timber has passed under those blades in the past five years. The job just became due to be done.Quote:

And the timber comes out looking POLISHED.

Hi everyone.
Matt just contacted me off-forum to ask me to run tonight's session because Paul decided to chicken out after losing the draw last week and Matt is feeling unwell.
So the topic for tonight's discussion - DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...
"How small, damaged or spalted does an offcut need to be before you throw it away?"
We all keep some offcuts and throw others - I suppose. So lets talk about the selection process.
Let's see where this takes us.
Sunday is hear again, how exciting!!!!.
So tonight’s subject matter may be one of two, if We have the delightful company of Mr Bushmillar, we will insist he hosts this evening, due to him being absent last week with no note of absence.[emoji17]
Or we might just go free radical and talk amongst ourselves.
(There will be NO talks of F chainsaws or Operating rooms it’s getting a bit boring [emoji90])
Anyone is welcome, and we especially invite fresh new meat, too attended.
The Jabber is hosted using Skype
You may join in as a guest if you are the paranoid type or have strong hate off Big sister brother uncle.

Your saw appears to be a No.13 from W.Tyzack & Sons & Turner from around 1965. It is within their Elephant brand range.

Interestingly earlier models (1950 catalogue) had a more simple handle. I would have expected that to be the other way around.
Attachment 515314
The Tyzack family had many different companies and associations. They occupy about sixteen pages in Simon Barley's book.
