Hi Dom. I Initially thought it would be nice to have a x cut and rip. But after all the reading I have been doing lately, I think the ppi is enough. The pitch is defined, or altered when you file the teeth anyway. Is it not? And you are filing the whole tooth in, as opposed to repunching them. This would help to limit the number of templates you would have to have on hand providing you are stocking them for inventory. Just my humble 2 cents.
