What this tool adds
What this tool adds to your bench
A saw-tooth setter is a maintenance tool for a saw that permits its teeth to be set again. It acts on the tooth position rather than filing a new cutting edge. Start by checking the saw’s permitted maintenance method before choosing it as an accessory.
The selected Eclipse-style tool has a knurled adjustment and anvil arrangement with soft handle grips. Compare the required tooth pitch and adjustment with the actual saw. A numerical compatible pitch range is not established here, so a similar-looking tooth pattern is not enough to confirm fit.
Spear & Jackson describes its named Eclipse setter for resharpenable woodsaws. That application should not be extended automatically to the induction- or impulse-hardened saw teeth found on many replacement-blade tools. Confirm resetting is permitted for the particular blade.
Plan the setter with the rest of your saw-maintenance equipment. The Sjöbergs file clamp is a separate comparison when raised support would help during filing. Choose the setting, holding and sharpening tools according to the maintenance permitted for that saw.
Choose for your actual work
- Check that the particular saw permits resetting.
- Confirm the required tooth pitch against the selected setter.
Fit checks & limits
- Confirm the exact manufacturer part number and permitted tooth-pitch range for your saw before ordering.
- Use only with teeth the saw maker permits to be reset. No numerical TPI range or hardened-tooth compatibility is confirmed here.
- Check the selected consumer offer for quantity; wholesale pack counts are not its contents.
Questions before you choose
Can I use it on every saw in this catalogue?
No such compatibility is established. Many saws use hardened teeth or replaceable blades; check whether the individual maker permits tooth resetting.
Does it sharpen the tooth edge?
Its role is setting tooth position. Filing or other permitted edge maintenance is a different stage.
What should I check before buying for an old saw?
Confirm that the blade is resharpenable and resettable, then verify the tooth pitch and required setter adjustment. A numerical pitch range for this selected offer is not established.
