I've been told by a couple of sawyers that millsaw blades are (or at
least used to be) made flat, then hammered by hand to a slight dish
shape; that a flat blade goes all wonky at speed but the slightly
dished one flattens out a runs true.

Have you ever seen that done, Pat?  The guys that told be this didn't
do it themselves but each knew an Old Geezer he could call on if he
neded it done.
