I haven't filed any yet. I do have some saw sets I got off of ebay, maybe some day I'll try and take this on. One quick tip for rust removal, brake fluid works well if you don't leave it on too long.

No, but I suppose you could stop the video and make a screen grab (ctrl+print) of each frame and paste them into a Word document. Select the frames you want then print the whole doc. If you try this, run the video in HD as it will give you a better quality image.

Hello!
I was wondering if you have a version of how you sharpen crosscut saws that can be printed off. It would be helpful to have a paper version to bring into the shop with us.
Thanks!

It appears that YT won't let me post a web address in a comment. For a good discussion on crosscut saw filing and related topics, visit crosscutsawyer(dot)com

Anderson Gauge: Set the filing plate of your gauge high and do a raker at one end of the saw. Place a straight edge across the two teeth on either side of the raker and measure that height with a feeler gauge. Repeat until you have the height you want then finish all rakers. The numbered plate is Anderson's version of a pin gauge.

wow, gives us an idea of how the old lumber jacks had to be so precise and accurate to make their work as efficient as possible, not just sitting down and hogging metal off the saw with an old file. As a collector of old crosscut saws, I apprecitate the time and effort it took to put together this video very much.

@jcorb3380 Do you file the saws you collect?

Hi,
I'm new to filing and your video is lifesaver who wants to learn! Thanks for taking the time to do such an informative job. Question on the Anderson No. 3 raker gauge. How to initially set the slotted-angled plate to bring the rakers down the correct amount? What are the numbers on the opposite plate for?

@Williamolsenjr YT won't let me post my full comment, but for some reason lets me make this response. Must be a bad character somewhere.
