Taintor’s Positive No. 7 Saw Set (c. late 19th century)
Description
This hand-operated saw set was used to bend saw teeth slightly outward, allowing the blade to cut smoothly without binding. The “Positive” design provided consistent, controlled pressure for uniform results.
With its adjustable mechanism, the No. 7 could accommodate different saw sizes, helping craftsmen maintain efficient, accurate tools. Widely used by carpenters and woodworkers, it reflects the importance of tool care in the pre-industrial age.
