37 seconds drawing time.
I know Blackburn tools,does vertical line spacing templates for saw teeth, I’ve down loaded and used them in the past.
Paul Sellers is famous for suggesting to follow the teeth of a hacksaws, using every second tooth. Ie 18 TPI becomes 9 TPI.
Or ,just laying another saw plate next to the saw plate needing toothing and following it being careful not to re tooth two saws at once.
I have made this suggestion to a certain fellow here who dismissed my idea with the vile venom tact of a 17th century school master.
Were I was told ,I would not pass using a broom in broom factory[emoji3064].
So ,I quickly dismissed him,and have thought I would put the idea here possibly,to even more vile dribble than a political party on free turps.
If someone compendium enough using a computer drawing program ie Skeetch up. CAD, or something.
Was able to draw up saw teeth spacing to scale with the right rake angle and spacing.
It would just be a matter of cutting a strip of paper with your chosen TPI Gluing it to the saw plate (contact adhesive) an filing to the line,
Re toothing with numbers.
My reasoning that not everyone has 100 vintage saws to choose from.
If we did, they may not actually have perfect teeth to use as a pattern.
Having a printed pattern to follow which is know to be gegometical correct would be a bonus.
You could just print as many as needed ,cut them off your sheet ,and stick them in line.
Note Point :I will not be applying for a patent on this !!
I rest my case ,and can be found trying to work out how to use the broom.
Cheers Matt.
