Fig. 2. made much like a knife with notches of different widths along the edge for bending the teeth; but a beginner will generally succeed best with one of the various patent affairs containing a gauge. Whatever is used the set must be as little as possible—just bending the point of the teetJU outside the plane of the saw as in Fig. 3. So that the end of the kejflf is A square across, and not containing a point in the middle, as in Fig, 4. Fig. 4.
