Now hang on you chaps, around here, I've never heard of a 'sawfiler' but there are plenty of saw doctors. My vote is to make saw doctor a redirect to sawfiler if we must, (because what information there is at saw doctor is hardly worth merging) but in a perfect world, it would be t'other way around ;) SilentC 11:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sawfiler is used in North America (Canada, USA), and Saw Doctor is used in most other places in the world (England, New Zealand, Australia). The two should be merged. To avoid conflict, the neutral term "saw trades" could be used - this is the term used at the British Columbia Institute of Technology for its apprenticeship program. --Blehmann (talk) 21:53, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additions/Expansion

[edit]

The current article covers fairly well the modern context of this person/position. I intend to add information as this title applies to hand-operated saws. There are still Saw Filer/Saw Doctors that work on hand-operated saws! Zengrain (talk) 09:05, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
