by Matt Cianci
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.

To choose the right file, size it to the tooth. Ideally, about half of the cutting surface of the file will be in contact with the tooth -- half of the file will be in the gullet and the other half unused.

Not only does this Veritas Saw File Holder provide a secondary grip for your saw file, it also helps you control the angle of the file as you sharpen, using the eye's natural ability to judge parallel and level.
It has a rotating collar for setting a positive or negative rake angle up to 30°, and a 3" wide protractor to set the fleam (or bevel) angle up to 45° left or right. All you need to...
