Monday Mystery, Sawset?

My guess is some sort of saw set, though I can't immediately figure out how it might be used. Finding a likely-looking H.Aikens patent didn't really help.

  1. Hammer type saw set; I think you posted one once before. Used in the field for large two-man saws so not a precision tool, just bangs a bit of a set into the blade after sharpening.

    The wedge part can be pounded into a tree stump or it can be screwed to a piece of timber I believe (can't have it bouncing around).

  2. Thanks, that was this one; https://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2023/05/monday-mystery.html
    You're right, it is very similar now that I compare them.
    Procedure; Insert saw blade against the stops, , pivot the "anvil" over the tooth, tap with a hammer, I think.

  3. There's a description of how to use it on the first page of the patent:

    It sounds complicated reading the procedure but it's probably intuitive using the set in real life. I'm just happy I never had to (love my chainsaws!).
