In "Set & File," Matt Cianci (aka The Saw Wright) teaches you the fundamentals of maintaining backsaws and handsaws: how to file and joint your saws with the correct rake, fleam and pitch to keep them cutting sharp. You'll also learn how to deal with saw teeth that are in good shape but dull, plus how to successfully doctor teeth that have been abused.
Plus, Matt shows you how to identify and restore vintage saws – and basic sawsmithing – how to hammer out a bent blade, and how to re-set the spine on a backsaw. After you understand the basic saw-filing principles, you will know how to tackle all kinds of saws and all kinds of saw problems.
