I spent an hour or so milling a few backs for the first small run of saws. I'm using .020 spring steel for the plate and punching 13 ppi teeth with the Foley retoother. They will be filed rip.
I milled a .023 slot in these backs. I'll close them in the press.... like a traditional folded back saw. Most of the prototypes have been made with .020 slots that matched the plate. But I think that has raised more problems than it has solved. I'll find out soon enough...
