"How have you determined the angle for the handle?"
I'm not sure I understand your question.
The handle was traced off of a scan of a real saw handle. So all the relationships should be just as good as the one I scanned.
The hang angle of the handle in relation between the handle and saw plate was determined by following the "guide lines" presented by that Disston Saw Mfg Article I showed.
Between the two of them I think I got it as close as possible. But once I build it and test it I will know how successful I was.
