I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester,
both in the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, and 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object an improved saw setting plyers by which
two adjacent teeth of a flat saw blade of any width and number of teeth may be
simultaneously set.
The invention consists of teeth pressers fixed to the arms of the plyers above
a clamp lying between said arms which clamp holds the saw blade so that on
the arms of the plyers being pressed together the said pressers bend the pro
jecting teeth laterally. A double angle piece is placed around the lower end
of the clamp to form hinges for the arms of the plyers and to hold the clamp
securely by means of two screws passed through the angle piece and the clamp,
but in such a way that the said clamp may be raised or lowered and again
screwed tight. For this purpose the holes through the clamp piece are elongated
in order to allow of the distance between the teeth pressers and the upper edge
of the clamp being regulated or adjusted. The saw blades are placed in a. sup;
port capable of being raised or lowered in the clamp by means of a vertical
screw. This support must accordingly be adjusted to the width of the blades in
such a way that only the teeth project above the clamp. The teeth pressers are
fixed in the arms of the plyers by means of screws passing through slots so that
their lateral distance apart may be adjusted according to the division of the teeth
of the saw blade. Set screws are passed through the arms to bear against the
sides of the clamp, which screws may be adjusted to limit the extent to which
the arms of the plyers may be pressed together, thus limiting the extent to which
the teeth are to be set.
The tongs,or plyers may be suitably adjusted for any desired saw blade and at
each nipping two adjacent teeth are always set one to one side and the other
to the other, so far as the set screws admit. After the arms have been pressed
together they are again separated or forced apart by means of a spring arranged
between them..

This invention has for its object an improved saw setting plyers by which
two adjacent teeth of a flat saw blade of any width and number of teeth may be
simultaneously set.

The invention as shown in the: accompanying drawings, Figure 1 being a
side view; Figure 2, a front view; and Figure 3, a detail, consists of teeth
pressers d fixed to the arms Z of the plyers above a clamp m lying between said
arms, which clamp holds the saw blade a so that on the arms Z of the plyers
being pressed together the said pressers d bend the projecting teeth laterally.
A double angle piece wis placed around the lower end of the clamp' m and the
upper ends of this bent piece are curved round to form hinges n for the arms Z
of the plyers and to hold the clamp securely by means of two screws u passed
through the angle piece w and the clamp m, but in such a way that the said
clamp may be raised or lowered and again screwed tight. For this purpose the
holes through the clamp piece m are elongated in order to allow of the distance
between the teeth pressers d and the upper edge of the clamp m being regulated
or adjusted. The saw blades are placed in a support g capable of being raised or
lowered in the clamp m by means of a vertical screw b. This support 7 'must
accordingly be adjusted to the width of the blades in such a way that only the
teeth project above the clamp m. The teeth pressers d are fixed in the arms Z
of the plyers by means of screws passing through slots h so that their lateral
distance apart may be adjusted according to the division of the teeth of the saw
blade a. Set screws are passed through the arms Z to bear against the sides
of the clamp m, which screws may be adjusted to limit the extent to which the
arms of the plyers may be pressed together, thus limiting the extent to which
the teeth are to be set.
The tongs or plyers may be suitably adjusted for any desired saw blade and
at each nipping two adjacent teeth are always set one to one side and the other to
the other so far as the set screws o admit. After the arms Z have been pressed
together they are again separated or forced apart by means of a spring f arranged
between them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated
to me by my foreign correspondent; I declare that what I claim is;
A saw setting plyers or implement characterised by two laterally adjustable
teeth pressers (d) being fixed on the arms (Z) of the pliers but not opposite one
another and adapted to be nipped together over the upper edge of a clamp (m)

page_text: located between the arms (Z), which clamp is capable of being adjusted some-
what vertically and fixed by means of screws (u) and has a support (9) arranged
within it which is adjustable by means of a screw (b) so as to hold the saw
blade (a) with its teeth projecting, whereby two adjacent teeth are always set
one to one side and the other to the other, the angle of setting being determined
by set screws (o) mounted in the arms (Z), substantially as hereinbefore described.
