This occurs thread, improper filing, and results in the saw workuie hard. The reason is that a saw irregularly fiw 01 act., cute ouiy wun uie longest teeth and those that have the most set. To remedy these defects, it should be pointed and filed until the teeth are all of even length, and are pitched so that the front of each tooth is at right angle, with the back of the saw. The saw is faatentd into a clamp, which consists of a pair of j.wi fixed upon a stand, and moved by screws. The ends of the teeth are brought to a level by run. ning a flat file lengthwise of the blade. Ths best form to give the edge is a slight curve from end to end of the saw, making the middle slightly rounding outward, never hollow. The handle of the saw when in ti... - should be to the left, and not be changed during the filing. The part held in the clamp should be tiled completely before being moved, if the .no not long enougn to nold the whole On a rin buw. the teeth will 1.., (I1...1 . . - .... .. dUBLD Ull . cross cut, they are beveled upon alternate side.
