A while back I posted about my disappointment with the sharpening of 2 TS blades. Tonight I measured the runout on them [with my decimal dial indicator:icon_scra] and it came out to 0.004-0.005 in on both blades. To refresh: one of the blades left a very good finished edge requiring little-to-no sanding before sharpening...not so good afterwards. I've been asked to send the blades back for inspection - I was told some of the teeth are probably sticking out a bit. Note that I measured both the blade surface just below the gullets (from one side of the blade) and individually checked the middle of each tooth from both sides.
What runout would you expect to see on, for example, a Forrest WWII glue-line rip blade? How much runout starts to leave a poor surface? Anyone have any idea about this?
TIA!
