I just went to the dentist, so I thought my teeth were all set. Unfortunately the dentist was stoned.

Thanks James I have been a joiner for 40 plus years and still find all your videos useful I'm always looking for the next one to watch keep up the good work

When I first began sharpening my saws, I added way to much set. I didn’t understand the concept and I couldn’t find a video that gave clear instructions. Thank you for resolving this for both myself, and all current & future saw sharpeners’ to come.

Australia here. I had a sharpening service in Australia (Now Retired) and over the years I acquired many types of saw sets. Many given to me by my customers. My prized one was a sawset made Germany, over one hundred years old, it had a highly engraved pattern on the handle. It was used by holding it upright vertical to the saw blade. If people have trouble setting a handsaw, they can take it to a saw sharpening shop where most shops have a automatic setter that can set both sides of the teeth in about 20 seconds.

I think you hit the nail - oh saw tooth - on the head with this video! The debate will still be happening as long as wood & saws are around. LOL😏

@10:40 I think you meant to say .005", or 5 thousandths of an inch.

I initially sued to set the saw every time sharpened it. Over the time I have been sharpening my saws, I have eased off and now only set when the saw starts bind easily. Learning about stoning the saw proved to be critical to cut quality with my backsaws. Not just because it helped straighten the cut if the saw wandered, but if there was too much set, the blade will waver slightly side to side. That creates a messy cut surface, so I stone to clean up the up as well as straighten it.

I feel like you set me up. Now I'm set to go out to the shop and adjust my teeth. I just need to set this phone down first 😂❤

Setting is a saw point

@Apillicus 2 years ago

Man $250 for the saw set. You weren't kidding how expensive those are

Excellent Video, James. When I was first learning to sharpen my saws I picked up a Stanley Handyman Saw Set at a Flea Market. It seems to work just fine but I have often wondered if I should try to upgrade. I've only had to do this once or twice so far so a really expensive one does not appear to be in my near future. My grandfather sharpened saws and lawnmowers (the old reel type) professionally and I inherited his files and tools. He had punches and hammers but no saw set in his tool chest. I guess I know what he did now. haha. Hope to see you at the Groundhog Meet.
