Shurly Dietrich Perfect Saw Jointer

[John Morris]

What does this tool do? I found this in a collection of tools I have that was given to me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Missing a file, but a flat file is inserted/held in place then run across the top of hand saw teeth to joint for a consistent height before sharpening.

Well all be gosh danged, thanks Gramps! I actually have four four of them!

So I have this saw jointer, I have a tooth set, I do have files, guess I'm ready to delve into the art of saw setting and sharpening!

Thanks again!

I had one for years... I used it to sharpen ice skates. I thought that's what it was for....
