Hi,

I am quite new into wood work and have collect several old hand tools from the flea market over the years.

I have recently started to covert some crosscut back saws into rip cut. Basically I followed the method used by Tom Law in his video on sharpening saw.

I have done an 18 TPI Stanley dovetail saw and a 21 TPI old ET Roberts old dovetail saw. So far the saw cut resonably well compared to state when I got them from the flea market.

My question is when I need to re set these saws or other older doetail saw with between 15 TPI to 21 TPI, what saw set should I get. Will a stanley 42 , 42X or 422 be suitable?

Will appreciate some referrence.
