An antique tool with an interesting function!

A sawset is used to carefully and accurately bend the teeth of a saw to develop a kerf wider than the saw plate. This helps it to avoid binding as the saw passes into and through the cut.

The sawset bends the teeth away from the plate. Every other tooth is set in the same direction, and then the alternate teeth the opposite way. One arm of the sawset moves in the same way pliers work, when you squeeze the two handles the “hammer” or tooth setter emerges to force the tooth over.

A unique piece made by 'Eclipse' - still in the original box, perfect for a collector!

Still in good condition. Some marks and dents to box. Minor surface rust to tool.
