I ground and filed a driver last night, and I found that I 
have different sized slots on the same saw (maybe due to a
replacement; pre-1920 D8).  

When I made the blade to fit the thinnest slot on that saw,
it was too sloppy in the rest, just as you say.  So even if
you have one saw,you might want more than one driver!
