I should add that if the teeth at the toe are filed with a shallower rake, a la Paul’s method, there’s no reason to get them out of the way of the cut once started. Those teeth are still just as capable of cutting as the main line of teeth, so why disengage them from the cut? Why not just have a straight tooth line?
