I turned it around and set the grinder toward one end of the saw, so the saw would rest on one post bracket and on the guide rest only. In this way the saw moves around perfectly in line with its back edge. I also found the small gear on grinder was on the wrong side of machine, which caused the cam shaft and cam to run backwards ; and, worst ot all, he had a left-hand cam-holder and cam on a right-hand machine.

I also found the small gear on grinder was on the wrong side of machine, which caused the cam shaft and cam to run backwards ; and, worst ot all, he had a left-hand cam-holder and cam on a right-hand machine. I don't wonder at him filing by hand, and only wonder that he was able to gum his saws. I then undertook to make a right-hand cam-holder out of a left-hand one by plugging up the shaft-hole with hot iron and drilling another hole for the shaft y[ inch higher, to allow the holder to drop down at the right place, so the wheel would come down in the gullet. Then the cams would not fit, so I filled the hollow side with babbitt, turned them upside down and tapped in new holes for the screws. When I put it on the machine, took out all lost motion, and rebabbitted the machine it started off like an old clock and ground the teeth to a good keen edge without missing a tooth or burn- Fig. 2. a Baldwin, Tuthill & Bolton No. 5 stretcher, but the top roll had been disconnected and used only as an idle top roll. The rotary shears, also the parts that move the roll back and forth, had been taken off, making the $250 machine practically no better than one which could be bought for $150. I replaced all parts and find the machine works perfectly. The grinder is one of the most improved Covel make, but the former filer did not consider it accurate enough for him and only used it to gum out with, doing all the filing by hand, which, of course, took lots of time, labor and files. He had post brackets and back feed, but had the 'grinder setting in the center of the saw as it lay in the post bra
