Title: New Kiwi Member
Post by: umph on July 10, 2011, 06:14:43 PM: hi guys, just joined site after hunting for a decent bedford forum for months on end. recently purchased a 79 CF504 which is currently being done up very slowly.
this is the 4th bedford van ive owned so im hoping it will be the best. im a saw doctor by trade and spend most of my time locked away in my garage attempting to remove the copious ammounts of rust in my van

a sawdoctor is a person who specializes in blades, saws, knives, anything that can cut. i mainly do things like maintenance which includes sharpening, checking the degrees of the cut, aligning teeth and retipping etc. you would normally find a sawdoctor at a saw mill. they would maintain the blades for the mill :)
