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

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

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 :)
