In a nutshell I believe that the advantage of a vintage M tooth is that they are easier to sharpen. The disadvantage is that they may not cut quite as fast as a peg and raker.

I don't know of any experienced files that do that intentionally. Single-cut files have a single row of diagonal teeth. These teeth run parallel to each other and...

......Many of the rakers were higher than the cutters. It makes no sense! Bob Bob, I often see saws with the rakers much higher then they should be and believe there are two reasons for that. 1. The cutters dull and wear down much faster then the rakers. At least for swaged raker, they wear very li...
