If your saw does not rut easily, this is very likely the triMible. If your lumber is eii- scasoned or tongli. you will need much more set than if you have dry clear tender lum- ber. Of coiuse, we wish to get along with as little set as we can consistently, for tlie UKue wood we cut out. the greater is llie l>ower required. Now. another considera- tion comes in. If we do not set the teeth all alike, and it is almost impossible to do this with any saw-set, on account of tlie tenden- cy of some teeth to spring more than otliers, we shall liave occasionally a tooth slicking out more than the rest; this causes much friction, and makes our lumber look bad with grooves plowed in it alintervals. VoY large saws, a side-lile is used ; but for our W(nk, I think we can level oil the points very well with an oil-stmie. Lay the stone on your saw table, against the side of the saw, and turn the saw backward by hand. Now be sure you do not trim the points too much, and that you do not hold your stone so as to make the points Avedge-shaped. When done rightly, your saw should cut smoothly and easily, and the stuff should look almost as if it were jdaned. I In the drawing. I have given about the I right angle for the face of the tooth. The j point should be almost square, like the end ! of a chisel: but as the outside corner has by i far the greatest amount of work i should be kept a trifle higher. If you give tlie point of the tooth a very sharp bevel, the saw will leave a point in the wood like this, at A; and if
