Interesting work. Why is it superior to hammer the teeth by hand rather than machine? I have never made a saw so have no idea really but at first guess I'd have thought even a very skilled person isn’t as consistent as a forming machine
@@michaelking2910 I think you'll find they buy the spring steel for the blades from 1 of the 3 spring steel manufacture in Sheffield, they CNC all the handles them self's, they punch the teeth on the blades the them self's, there are laws in the UK that make it illegal to rebrand foreign made products with made in the UK the saws are definitely made in Sheffield.
So lucky someone documented these trades before they were gone.
they still make saws
As amateur woodworkers we have to sharpen and set our own saws these days. The speed that these professionals achieved is astonishing.
Very interesting seeing all the different brand "manufacturers" saws being produced in the same factory!
Hammer setting every other tooth that fast was impressive work!
Thanks for sharing.
I have a Sheffield rip saw and it works great.

Yes
The days when made in Britain meant something, Sheffield steel didn’t just mean the product, it also applies the people themselves.
Wow. He hammers those teeth by sight and hand.
This was my dad and me many years ago, used to hand set down to 40 ppi them were the days

@@MrZOMBIE170 if you say so, buying steel from abroad isn’t illegal, it’s not a branded item they buy.. but you clearly know everything
@@michaelking2910 not true.
I am surprised how manual it all is
What’s the situation in 2024?
