Saw set tool recommendations
I'm about to buy a couple of vintage Disston saws and I've been considering whether, during their restoration, I should re-establish the tooth set from scratch. I'm new to the saw sharpening world but I've discovered the tools used for this. In my search I came across the Eclipse 77 (which appears to be made of brass or bronze) and others of a similar style, like the one I've illustrated in the post. I need a bit of guidance on this matter because I don't know how many variants of this type of tool exist, how it really works, and what I should look for in this type of tool to get something good and easy to use.
For reference, my saws currently range from 3-8 tpi. Is there a tpi limit that these tools can handle?
