Blakelee's industrial cyclopedia, a simple practical guide .. A ready reference and reservoir of useful information More than two hundred illustrations . beveling, for cutting across the grain of wood, and the other for ripping,with the grains across their ends. For ordinary purposes the common, beveledtooth hand saw will answer all requirements. The file should be put between the teeth diagonally, but held level. Everyother space should be filed from both sides. Keep a uniform bevel clearthrough, and do not allow the file to cut on return. Always do the filing wherethere is plenty of light, and the first time through, do not bring the tooth quiteup to a sharp tdge, as the second time through will take off a little steel. Beexceedingly careful to stop filing as soon as the tooth is filed to a completepoint. One thrust with the file, after the tooth has been brought to a perfectedgf, will shorten it, and \{ the saw out of order just in proportion as the pointis filed off.

A saw of ordinary length should be kept crowning about an eighth of an is, in sighting across the points of its teeth from end to end, there shouldbe a gradual elevation to the center, amounting to an eighth of an inch. Thiswill counterbalance the natural rocking motion given the saw when in use. If the saw catches and jumps, after filing as directed, it is owing to the teethbeing filed too hooking, or, in other words, the points incline too much towardsthe small end of the saw. This can be remedied by re-filing and taking offenough to make the teeth stand upright. In filing a rip saw, it is only necessaiy to carry the file in conformity to theoriginal shape of the teeth
