So I found a Disston D3 saw vise yesterday with the guide and all.
Until now I have been filing saws in my bench vise with two auxiliary pieces of wood clamping it. I was able to joint and file rip saws very easily. They come out looking and working great. Crosscut is more difficult for me, and the teeth are acceptable, but some are not as even as I would like. They cut decently.
My question is - Will this vise and guide improve my game on crosscut saws or is it a gimmick? Because im not sure its worth keeping if it is a pain to use.
Thank you!
