I usually count mine in Latin

I engrave a number into each of my cutters with a Dremel,measure each ones length with Verniers and record the data on an hourly basis.

 

Imagine the fun I have with a bag of Rice....

does that not have a detrimental effect on the structural integrity of each cutter?

 

how very cavalier!

 

I propose an in depth study into the effect on integrity with respect to different numbers. I propose the number 4 weakens a cutter more than a number 7.

I am glad you brought that up Jim.

 

Formally I used to stamp a series of Dots on my cutters,however due to the teeth being filed I would quickly loose the data.I then used a microscope and numbered them in a much smaller pattern,however this proved too time consuming and my trainspotting and attendance at vintage farm machinery rallies suffered.

I think "8" is the worst, and when you get onto big saw's your going to get "44" and "88"

[Dean Lofthouse]

Try fitting an "F" and "B" on the tooth as well for front and back, nightmare

[stoxs]

amd the L for left and

R for right

 

i think a pettition to chain manufactors to make these cutters bigger is in order
