My same finger now points around corners to the right, after a table saw error on my part. Table saws seem to like to bite when you least expect it. -

Response attempt #3 lol. I think I've I've got this thing figured out finally. (The 38). Not sure if I'll have the words to explain it very well. With your saw in some sort of saw vice and teeth exposed, the teeth will register in the slot in the middle of the bottom of the "fence". The black knob behind the fence is likely either depth control, or it rotates the unit for introducing fleam, I'm guessing. You'd push the unit forward and the flat file files the tooth as it slides on the 2 upper rails. The flat file can be rotated to match the rake angle of the tooth. Maybe this thing is a great solution, but i have my doubts about that. Given the thickness of the flat file, i don't see how it could be used on anything finer than about 6 or 7 tpi. These are just guesses though based on a picture. So take that with a grain of salt. There are other, simpler ways to control/match rake and fleam. For some perspective, though...i don't even bother with crosscut filing on back saws. I have them all filed rip. Crosscut filing dulls much faster and I've never found a significant difference in cut quality on teeth that small. And the lion's share of joinery cuts are rip cuts anyway. I think that cross cut filing IS important and necessary for larger hand and panel saws, but not on smaller back saws. I think you'd be be better off with a few triangular files and a book on sharpening to get your feet wet, and once you've got your head wrapped around the process you can make a better decision about if something like this is going to be helpful. -
Really sorry about this injury! I hope you have a full and speedy recovery. -
I try not to think about it and only use it when I absolutely have to. I don't know how long it lasts, but toss it when it slows me up. I do have a large supply of it in various types.
