It is the set which creates the kerf to be wider than the blade\n and therefore prevents binding as the non-cutting part of the saw blade enters the cut. This allows easier cutting and good control. The teeth need\n to be alternately set on both sides so that equal numbers of teeth protrude from each side of the blade. This item comes with instructions and is indivdually blister packed.\n\nThis item is suitable for sharpening handsaws and tenon saws (not One and Two Man Crosscut Saws).
