This is a garage sale 5.5ppi crosscut (or at least will be). The first photo is what I'm working with. I'm using Dykem to keep track. The second photo is about half way with one side only. I'm filing (or trying to file!) 12* rake, 20* fleam. I'm using a 8 regular file.
I'm filing until I get to somewhere between 1/3 to less than 1/2 of the file width and as close a sharp "v" at the gullet as it seems the file will produce. It's taking a good 10-12 strokes to get there.
Any comments? Good to go for the rest of the saw?
Thanks.
