I have 3 saw sets that I took apart to clean them and I don’t know how to readjust them. Everything I found on the internet shows how to use the set but not adjusting it or setting it up. Two of the sets have a sliding anvil along with an additional adjustment which I don’t exactly understand except that it possibly has something to do with the blade thickness and again I’m only guessing.
I don’t know how to properly ask questions because I don’t know the nomenclature so I’ve taken Photos of each and have numbered each adjustment in the photos. If any of you are familiar with the Morrill Saw Sets and want to respond to setting it up please refer to the numbers so that I can follow along.
A) Morrill #1 saw set: (Has an anvil consisting of a beveled piece of steel which slides in a track and fixed in place with a tightening screw. It also has a bracket that adjusts for the blade thickness I believe and this whole set is very crude. I will probably not be using it unless I can adjust it for one saw and never change it.)
B) Morrill Improved #1 saw set: (The anvil consists of a beveled piece of steel which slides in a track and adjusted by turning a screw. It uses a threaded piece to set the blade thickness and seems to be more accurate)
C) Morrill Apex Special: (This has a rotating disc for an anvil with numbers stamped around the edge of the disc and also a threaded piece to set the blade thickness with a lock nut. I saw on a YouTube video that the numbered disk and the numbers corresponds to the pitch)
After seeing all three laid out like this, I guess I only really need to know how to adjust "A" and "B" for one because it should be the same for all three I think. :huh:
