I didn’t know steel could be too old. Did you try to recut yourself using the P.S. method or just from the saw doctor?
I’m thinking the problem I’m having is actually me and the fact that I stand too close because I need to stand that close to actually see.
I actually did some tests by standing further back and not looking as I saw. It turns out that if I do this I cut much straighter, if I stand close it bends in towards my body at the front but not the back, and I believe this would be the action my arm is taking while pushing the saw.
I’ve ordered some magnifying head gear to see if that will help and am awaiting for its arrival and tests to report back on.
