Can't believe how much mileage you've gotten out of painting one handle!
Marv's post reminded me of a caution. As I was using Christian's technique to shine a few saw plates last night, I forgot that some of them had just come back from Marv. I guess I got too close to the teeth because suddenly the saw was covered with more blood than Autosol. I think it just adds some flavor.

My High School Shop class had one rule " Don't Bleed on the Tools, it will make them rust" Per Mr. Hienz and Mr. Lentz.

I was pondering a saw at a flea market a few weeks ago and it slipped every so slightly from my hand. I reached out with my left hand to stabilize it, and left quite a bit of my flesh on the teeth. Given that it could have been viewed as a biohazard, I had to buy the saw. I offered him a bloody dollar bill, which he accepted provided that I leave and clean up my hand
Lesson here is that sometimes(and I mean rarely) blood on a saw (in this case a D-8) can lead to a good deal.

Hey Marv,
Why are the slots on the left side?
You may have been asked this before...humor me.

Toby,
What slots?
Re: How to polish a saw plate - Joe Bailey - 05-14-2013
Marv - I believe Toby is referring to the fact that it looks like the screw slots are showing on the same side as the medallion in your photo.

Screw slots. (Actually it's the nuts.)

I just give a shot to Aluminium foil-polish combination, and it look nice.
I also did another side of saw with same polish (festool 6000 grit) and medium hard felt pad on festo rotex.
I can't see the difference.
Is there any reason why not to use power polisher?
