It totally depends on the amount of inches per saw blade.
My answer is indeterminable without further measurement of the blade.
To do this formula we need at the minimum 2 constants.
And you haven’t provided those.

Ok! Ok!
4= 15!

There has to be only one answer…
If this is a trick question it is stupid.
Either ask intelligent questions or not!
I could have a mill saw blade at 36 plus inches…

Roy wins. You lucky dog.

You don’t know how many teeth on a 14 tooth hand saw unless you know how long it is.
This was a joke question and the joker got it right. :mrgreen:

Congratulations Roy.
You know the drill. :slight_smile:

He is a GREAT inspector doing a great job for his clients…Oh ! Yes!
