Hi Guys,
I confess I'm less of a machinist than some of you so maybe you'll not mind if I ask this: what would be a good approach to get new teeth cut on an old saw? I have an old backsaw that is crosscut and I'd like to change it to a rip. I am also less concerned with some of the nuances of blade thickness although I love the performance of my LN dovetail saw.
Should I send to someone who does that or should I try to file new teeth? Who does that? I'd be a complete novice on filing new teeth, but filing a 10 tpi rip seems a bit of a challenge. I'd be happier trying to file teeth on a panel saw, but I haven't done that yet either.
Jim
