Fold or cut spine for a backsaw?
You may do better to use 2 pieces of flat strap drilled and
riveted to the back of the blade to create your backsaw. (top posted for your convenience) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Australopithecus scobis" wrote in message e... Greetings, O wise ones of all that is inorganic I'm making a backsaw. I'm thinking of bending a brass strip to make the back. Lots of peening to clamp it to the saw. Better to get a thicker strip and saw a slot? That offers the possiblility of using rod stock, for stiffness without a deep slot. I've got a 6" metalwork vise, hacksaw, and a metal-cutting blade for my skilsaw; no stationary machines. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. -- "Keep your ass behind you" vladimir a t mad {dot} scientist {dot} com |
