DISSTON No. 7 CROSSCUT SAW, 26" PLATE WITH 8 POINT TOOTH LINE. I BELIEVE THE MEDALLION PUTS IT AT 1896 TO 1917.
The plate has been cleaned but is still grey with age and still has stains and a couple small nicks high up near the toe. There is a tiny bit of light pitting but nothing that will affect its function. The etch is no longer readable but I have no doubt that all components are original and correct for the saw. The plate shows no sign of eve...r having a different handle. The handle has been refinished with boiled linseed oil and a light coat of shellac. It has no repairs but there are three marks on the top that I have to assume were identification for a previous owner.
No matter how old it is or what it flaws are, this is still a fine working saw that will raise a few eyebrows when seen at your work bench. It will also likely become your go to saw for breaking down stock. It will cut any wood you choose but will be exceptional with soft to medium hardwoods. It has been freshly jointed, shaped, set and sharpened. The tooth line is lightly crowned and it has been hand sharpened with 15 degrees of rake, 20 degrees of fleam and 20 degrees of slope. The plate height is 2" at the toe and 6 1/2" at the handle. The plate is taper ground with a thickness of .034” at the tooth line tapered to .024" on top near the toe. After sharpening I test cut fir and white oak. It starts easy and cuts fast and clean for both and will stay sharp for a long time if used and cared for properly.
This is an exceptionally good user saw and I hope that itsnew owner will do just that. There arenot a lot of good old Disstons left out there and they are getting fewer allthe time. It is my hope that this onefinds its way to a traditional craftsman and gets to fulfill its destiny.
