Wow!! Does this punch out teeth on a blank blade?! Man I spent HOURS and I mean hours resorting a saw and cutting each tooth out by hand, but heck, it was worth it! :D
@CroppyBoy1798 Yep, just stamps/cuts new teeth. With the right ratchet bars you can cut any size tooth, perfect every time. They just have to set and filed sharp. I have the machines to do that automatically too, but I prefer to hand set and hand file/sharpen. It only takes a few minutes per saw.
The retoother normally sets on a bench...but for video purposes it was easier to set the machine on the floor and the camera on the bench. I didn't figure too many people had ever seen a retoother run, so I posted this video.
