We bought 2 pair for our saws. Every body liked them for awhile until they got crisp on having to spin 3 parts to remove and add them from the saw. I went to the hardware store and bought a 1 and 1/2 inch pipe nipple and 2 wingnuts to fit the thru bolts. Sliced the pipe nipple in 4ths, Ripped a slot...

Our District Rec shop bought 2 6 foot curtis saws a couple of seasons back. The next winter we took them down to the Smoke Jumper Base for sharpening.Thier filers wouldn't touch them.

Length: 78 and 1/4 inchs
Width at "whole teeth" ends: 4 and 3/8 inchs
Width at center: 7 and 1/16 inchs
Tooth length: 1 and 9/16 inchs
Gullets are 1/4 inch deeper then teeth.
Painted machine (battleship?) grey on one side and a lovely mural on the other.

Council Tool 3.50# dayton pattern single bit with 32 inch fiberglass Nupla handle.
I made one of these for each saw team on our crew to replace our double bits.
I'm not sure but It looks like Nupla sells these pre made in 28, 32, and 36 inch length.

I have huge interest in these projects. I have a 5 foot Homesteader thats a bit short in the tooth.
If it gets worn and filed flat it will still have alot of metal for a new set of teeth.
Nice to see good saws getting filed to work instead of painted.

How Ya'll Are?
My shop has 7 saws and one reserved from Dolly.
Proper handles are my challenge.
Proud to be aboard.
