I am going to "Gum" ((Recess) the tips of my 28" X 10 teeth, buzzsaw blade. Here is one site I visited http://www.carbideprocessors.com/pages/saw-blades/gumming-saws.html
The site recommends a indexed machine, with a small circular grinder, to get precision and balance. It also states about .007 clearance.
Can I do the gumming on this non carbide saw blade, using a rat tail file, with an arbor mounted on my bench, with a vise holding the teeth ? Do I need a template to get near precision? Can anyone send me a template drawing, for this size saw blade ? I would use chalk and a scribe mark.
Should I have this done by some service?
I have 6 years in as a "machinest, with use of indexing, on a "vertical shapper"
