SAW-SHAR'PENING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent N0. 648,932, dated May 8, 1900.

Application filed .Tuly 15, 1899. Serial No. 7231925. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ wtorn it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERIC DUQ UEMIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Saw-Sharpening Machine, of which the following is a specification. l

My invention relates to tools forsharpening sawssuch as carpenters handsaws, bucksaws, meat-saws, and the like-and has for its object to provide a tool of this class of simple and cheap construction, having improved means for regulating the bevel, depth, and pitch of the teeth, preferably after the saw has been jointed.

With this object in view my invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter tional view of the tool, the saw being partly illustrated in dotted lines. sectional View.

Like numerals of reference mark the same parts wherever they occur in the various figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 indicates the base of the tool, upon which is secured an upright split or hollow clamp 2, provided with thumb-screws 3 3 at its ends to bear against the blade 4 of -a saw-such as a carpenters handsaw, bucksaw, or meatsaw-and longitudinally grooved, as at '5, to receive and permit of the sliding thereon of a head 6. The head is provided with a horizontal opening 7 to receive a block 8, arranged to Fig. 3 is a detail swivel on a vertical axis by means of a pin 9,

passing vertically through the head from the top and secured to the block by a smaller pinv or screw 10. Thehead straddles the clamp and is adjusted and held thereon by a setscrew 11, the pin 9 being secured in the head by a set-screw 12.

receive a rod 22 and larger openings to re-A f ceive the ferrule 23 of the'handle of a iile 24 and a split block 25 to encompass the point of the file.

` At one side of the head 6 is adjustably secured a gage 26, longitudinally slotted, as at 27, to receive its securing-bolt 28, provided with a bottom ange 29 to support the rod 22 and a top flange 30, through which passes a.

set-screw 31, bearing against the top of the head to adjust the height of the gage. On the opposite side of the head is pivoted a pawl 32, held in contact with theteeth of the saw by a spring 33. The ferrule 23 of the file is held in the block 20 by a set-screw 34, and the split block 25 is held in block 21. by a setscrew 35. v

The upper end of the head 6 is marked, as at 36, to form a dial, upon which a pointer 37 on the upper end of the pin 9 indicates the adjustment of the swiveling block 8.

After the saw is jointed and the parts assembled as shown and described the saw may be filed by reciprocating the file in the usual manner.

To regulate the bevel of the teeth or the angle at whichY the file may be inclined to the length of the blade of the saw, the swiveling block 8 is adjusted on its axis and secured by screw 12.

To regulate the depth of cut, the gage 26 is raised or lowered by set-screw 31, carrying rod 22 with it, and secured by securing-bolt 28.

To regulate the pitch of the saw or the distance apart of the points of the teeth, the ferrule 23 and split block 25 are turned in blocks 20 and 2l and secured by set-

screws

34 and 35.

By means of the constructions and adjustments described the Iile is properly set and guided and all the operations accurately and quickly performed.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United States, is-
