Gentlemen : We hand you with this revised edition of our Catalogue and Hand Book, "Saws and Saw Tools," which contains revised prices on goods of our manufacture and mill supplies. The suggestions for the use and care of Saws will be found to be l)ractical, and will often enable the sawyer to overcome difficulties in the running of both Circular and Band Saws, as has been the experi- ence of many sawyers who have made use of the suggestions con- tained in the book. But when a snw has become badly out of condi- tion by use, it will retjuire llie attention of a skilled saw maker, with the proper tools for doing tiie work and putting the Saw in the best condition for use; in which case, it should be shipped to our factory, or to one of our Brancii Houses. Our Branch Houses are located at Minneapolis, Minn., Memphis, Tenn., and Chattanooga, Tenn. At our Branch Houses, we have skilled saw makers, and our repair shops acre fitted up with improved appliances and tools, and the repairs will be carefully and promptly done. We also carry a full line of Circu- lar and Band Saws at our Branch Houses. In reference to the Atkins' Saws, we call attention to their liigh standard of excellence, which has been attained by using the best grades of steel, with our patent method of tempering and skillful workmanship. We propose to maintain this high standard of excel- lence, and furnish saws that shall receive the favorable commenda- tion in the future that they have in the past. Soliciting your favors, we are, Yours respectfully, E). C. Atkins & Co. E. C. Atkins & Co., INDEX Page.

C. ATKINS & Co., TERMS OF WARRANTY. CIRCULAR SAWS. Each Saw is warranted free from flaws and seams, and prac- tically true. Any Saw failing to run well will be rehanimered free of charge, if immediately returned; or if found defective in metal or temper, within thirty days from delivery, a new one will be given in exchange. Saws cracked or broken, as the result of filing square corners in the gullet of the tooth, as is frequently the case, or from using a cold-chisel or punch in retoothing, are not covered by our warranty. Any alteration in the holes of Circular Saws, by filing, ream- ing, or otherwise, will generally spring the Saw. When such alteration is made, the Saw will not be subject to the above warranty. No warranty upon Saws used in frozen timber. The name of " E. C. Atkins & Co," on a Saw is an assurance to the buyer of its superior quality and reliability, and no further guarantee is needed. E. C. Atkins & Co. Indianapows, Ind. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS, STANDARD RULES, ETC., CONCERNING THE USE AND CARE OF CIRCULAR SAWS. HANGING THE SAW Saws of our manufacture, unless they are ordered to be put up straight, are marked near the center with the words "Log Side." Before placing the new saw upon the mandrel, be sure that the side so marked comes next to the log on your mill ; if it does not, it should be sent to the factory to be hammered so as to suit your mill. Be sure that the mandrel is level, and that the saw when placed on it and the flanges screwed up, is perfectly plumb. The holes in the saw should be an easy fit on the mandrel and lug pins. Be sure that it does not bind on the mandrel or the pins. If it does, the least warmth of the mandrel will be sure to cause it to ex- pand, bind and spring the saw. It should slip on readily, neither tight nor loose. Saws are often pronounced crooked when the fault is in the collars. If the position or "dish" of the saw is changed in the least by tightening the collars for work, the defect should be remedied at once. Put a straight-edge on the log side of the saw, and ascertain whether the fault is in the saw or in the collars. Thin saws, and saws of high speed, are put up very open so that the center will pull through, and the saw, when hung on the man- drel, may show concave or convex on the log side when standing still, but when run up to the speed for which it is hammered, it should straighten u^i and be flat, or nearly so, on the log side. When hung upon the mandrel and the collars tightened, the saw should be perfectly round, so that every tooth will do its proper work. Should the saw be too crowning or too dishing on the log side, the difficulty may be overcome by papering between the saw and the collars. If the saw is dished on the log side, cut a ring of 10 E. C. Atkins & Co. paper of the size of the collar and about three-fourths inch wide; wet it with oil and lay it on the loose collar. Cut a smaller ring of paper of the same width to fit the man- drel, and place it on the mandrel against the fast collar. If one thick- ness of paper is not sufficient, add another ring, and so on until the saw, when clamped between the flanges, is brought to the proper position. Should the saw be too crowning on the log side, reverse the posi- tion of the paper rings, placing the large one next the fast collar and the smaller one next the loose collar. Letter paper for making the rings is preferable, being solid and firm. LINING THE SAW WITH THE TEACK. Take all the end play out of the mandrel. Run the carriage up past the saw so that one of the head-blocks will be opy^osite the center of the saw. Fasten a square piece of board on the head-block and let the end of the board touch the face of the saw at its center. Then run the carriage back from the front of the saw 2(> feet. Draw a line from the end of the board past the saw parallel with the track. The line where it passes the center of tlie saw should be from one- eighth inch to one-fourth inch from the face of the saw. This would show the track at 20 feet from the center of the saw on a line with the saw, and that the track at the center of the saw, if put down right, is one-eighth inch to one-fourth inch further off from the saw than at 20 feet distant. Some saws require more inclination toward the track than others, and the track being adjusted properly, any small variation required may be accomplished by means of the set screws on the box. The track should be solid, level and perfectly straight, and the saw frame firmly anchored. Trouble is often caused by a neglect to keep the track in order, and it should be examined frequently. LEAD. We have shown that the lead of the saw to the log may be ad- justed by its position to the track. It may be held to its work in the Indian APOivis, Ind. 1^ log by beveled filing on the back of the tooth. The teeth, if properly filed, should always be perfectly square on the front side, but if the saw tends to lead in or out of the log it may be held to the proper position by beveling the back side of the tooth at the point. If the front of the tooth is filed perfectly square and the teeth are beveled on the back, on the board side, this will lead your saw into the loi, or, if vou bevel on the log side, it will lead the saw out of the log. Should the saw lead in and out, or what is called "snaky," it is evident that it needs hammering, that the rim is too large for the center and the saw needs opening out at the center. Such a saw may be run warm at the center and the difficulty overcome in this way ; otherwise it will retjuire hainmeriug. POINTS TO BE OBSERVED. See that the track is solid, level and straight, that saw shaft is level and the saw hangs plumb; that it goes on the mandrel easy, i- a close fit, and that the lug pins have a bearing; that the tight collar is a little concave and the loose one perfectly flat; that the saw is straight on the log side when the collars are^ screwed up and the saw run up to the required speed ; that it is in line with the carriage and a little inclined toward the log; that the saw is perfectly round and has throat-room sufficient for the dust; that the teeth are not too high on the back side ; that the teeth are filed perfectly square on the front side, and swaged sufficient to give clearance for the body of the saw ; that there is very little, if any, end play to the mandrel ; that the guides are perfectly adjusted when the saw is standing still. Do not try to lead the saw with the guide pins, but lead the saw by adjusting it properly to the track and by proper filing. If you wish the saw to run warm at the center, you can create friction by reduc- ing the set or spread of the teeth. If the saw heats too much in the center give it a littie more set. If the saw heats on the rim it is because the teeth have not sufficient throat-room for clearance of the dust, or the backs of the teeth are too high. If the saw is too tig-.t 12 E. C Atkins & Co., on the rirn increase the motion if possible, and be sure to keep it cool in tne center. The saw should be run at uniform speed both in and out of the cut. If the guide pins are run too close, the saw will heat at the rim and run "snaky." If gum is allowed to collect on the sides of the saw, the rim will heat from the friction. TRUEING SAW ON THE MANDREL. If the saw is in proper tension and does not run true, take all the end play out of the mandrel; rest a small piece c)f board with one end sharpened, upon the saw frame ; hold the sharpened end against the board side of the saw near the rim. Mark with chalk the high places or those that touch, and on the opposite side the hollow places or those which do not touch the board. Turn the saw so as to bring the high points directly over the arbor, and, with a sharp pull, bend the points which are high on the board side toward you, and with a sharp push bend the parts which are high on the log side from you. By testing and bending in this way you may make a saw run perfectly true on the mandrel which has been sprung or doe? not from any cause run true. CAUSES FOR HEATING ON THE RIM. Guide pins set too close. Teeth have not enough spread or set. Backs of the teeth too high. Not throat-room enough for saw dust. Accumulation of gum on the teeth. Saw not open enough in the body for the speed. CAUSES OF HEATING AT CENTER. Teeth have not enough spread or set. Saw lined too much out of log. Mandrel runs too warm. Saw too open in the body or center for the speed. Speed not sufficient to expand the rim. Saw dished too much to or from the log. Indianapows, Ind. 13 HAMMERING AND TENSION. All mechanical arts require a skill acquired by long practice tor tlieir perfect execution. No art is more difficult of acquirement than that of saw making. All the conditions under which a saw has to be run, need to be exactly known and provided for in the construction and final finishing of the saw. For the benefit of our patrons and sawyers using our saws, we take pleasure in exphiining the general principles involved in the hammering and tension of circular saws. The practice taught by masters of the art thirty years ago, when saws of small diameter only were used, w;is that a circular saw to do proper work should be left firm between the center and the rim, and open as to its whole diameter, whereas experience has shown, and it is the practice of the best artists, to open out the body of the saw between the center and the ri;n to the extent required for the speed the saw is to run. Very high speed and thin saws require that the saw be opened out until it takes a strong push or pull to throw the center either way when the saw is standing upon the floor. When the saw is in proper tension and is shaken or pulled through, the body only of the saw should vibrate, while the rim should be nearly or quite steady. Gumming a circular saw, or the alternate heating and cooling uf the rim will permanently expand a saw at the rim, and in conse- quence it will become too stiff' in the center or body of the saw and run "snaky"; a few strokes of a round face liammer on both sides of the saw at the proper place will restore the tension. (See illustra- tion. Fig. 1.) The portion of the saw to be hammered being indi- cated by the dotted lines. The same treatment is required if the saw is put up for too low speed. The rule is that it must be more open or limber in the body of the saw for fast speed than for slow speed; \or hard than for soft wood. When the saw is standing on the floor and shaken with the hand and the center and rim both vibrate, the saw requires more hammer 14 E. C. ATKINS & Co., ing on the line nearest the rim (Fig. 1). When opening out the body of the saw, do not hammer within 6 inches to 10 inches of the center. Observe the motion of the saw when on the mandrel and run- ning up to speed ; if it runs wavy on the rim it needs opening out in the body of the saw on the dotted lines ( Fig. 1). If it runs steady .and true out of the log, it is the fault of the hanging, lining, fitting or management if it does not run steady and true in the log. The dotted lines ( Fig. 1 ) indicate where the face of the saw must be hammered on both sides with the round face hammer to open the body of the saw for high speed, or when it runs wavy on the rim in full motion. Fig. 2 illustrates examination of the saw with the straight- edge in adjusting the tension. The center of the saw resting on the anvil, the rim back of the anvil supported on a narrow bench extending from the anvil to the wall, and the opposite point raised with the hand, the straight-edge extending from the center toward the rim of the saw. If the saw is properly opened in the body the portions indicated by the dotted, lines in Fig. 1 will drop away from the straight-edge ( Fig. 2 ) equally all around the saw. To equalize the tension, the parts which drop least require hammering until the tension is equal- ized and all parts indicated by the dotted lines drop equally all around the saw. The center line should drop a trifle more than the others. Hammering to take out lumps should always be done on the high side or on that point which touches the straight-edge. Lumps or ridges upon or near the rim may be found with the straight-edge by examining that part of the saw, with the center of the saw resting on the anvil ; but lumps or ridges in the body of the saw should be found with the saw standing upon the floor perfectly perpendicular (Figs. 3 and 4). Mark with chalk the high points which touch the straight-edge on either side of the saw, and hammer where marked, Indianapows, Ind. 15 either on a slightly oval wooden block or an anvil. (The anvil is preferred by practical saw makers.) If the anvil is used, allowance must be made for change in ten- sion produced by the blow of the hammer, as every blow upon the anvil stretches and opens the saw at the point hammered. If the end of a wooden block is used in taking out lumps, the tension will not be affected. The tension must be adjusted by hammering on the anvil. Lumps usually run in ridges and should be hammered out with a cross pene hammer, the pene following the ridge in the direc- tion which it runs as discovered with the straight-edge. Round lumps may be hammered down with the round face hammer, or with the cross pene hammer by changing the hammer over between each blow so that the strokes cross each other. The strokes should be directly on the lump or ridge. The adjustment of tension is preferably done with a hammer having a slightly oval and perfectly round face. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the examination of the saw for lumps and ridges when standing on the floor. Move the level across the saw from a to 6 (Fig. 3) all over the surface on both sides of the saw, rolling the saw on the floor while making the examination, and mark the points which touch the straight-edge, the lumps x and the ridges . Test the saw with the straight-edge between the center and edge from c to d (Fig. 4) all around the saw, marking the lumps and ridges as before. Hammer lightly on the points marked. After leveling, examine the tension ; if it remains as before, your saw is ready to go on to the mandrel for test, but if not, adjust the tension again with the round face hammer; then level it again, and, if necessary, adjust again for tension, and so on until the saw is perfect. If the saw has an even tension, put it on the mandrel and run it up to speed. If it runs steady and true, it is ready for fitting, and, when properly hung and fitted, it will stand up to its work. 16 B. C. Atkins & Co., Indianapows, Ind. 17 Fig 3. Fig. 4 18 E. C. Atkins & Co. INSTRUCTION S-INSERTED TOOTH SAWS. HOLDERS AND BITS. Keep the extreme point of the bit wider than any other part of the swaged portion, thus — Fig 5. Never side-file so as to make the extreme point narrower, or even the same width, thus — If necessary to swage the bits, take them out and swage them in the vise, then replace them, side file and round up the saw and sharpen the bits. Keep the pitch the same as when new. In side-filing, the file should be set in at an angle to form the point on a bevel as when new, leaving the extreme point full width. If the pitch is filed out^ the strain is too great on the holder. If the holders, having a stop at " E," Fig. 8, become loose, ham- mer along the inner circle of the mouth-piece at " C C C." The holder should never have a bearing at " E D," Fig. 7, so as to prevent a solid bearing of the bit against the plate at " A B." If the holder is too long, file off the end at '' D " until the bit bears firmly against the plate at " A B." Better to shorten the holder at " D " until the light passes through when the bit bears firmly at '' A B." Those holders having no stop, as in Fig. 9, if they become loose require hammering at " A A A," if the holder is too small to fit the circle of the socket at " B B B." If, however, they fit this circle, the hammering should be done at " C C C." A few light blows on each side of the holder with the holder resting on an anvil is quite suf- ficient. k-. 7. illill i«^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fig. 8. 20 E. C. Atkins & Co. Fig, 9. Indianapolis, Ind. 21 TO LUMBER MANUFACTURERS AND SAW OPERATORS. • CAUSES OF COMPLAINT. Good saws are freqently ruined by crowding them beyond their limit of endurance and by unskillful use. There are other causes which tend to produce dissatisfaction with good saws, among whicli may be mentioned: Saw too thin; teeth too coarse; saw not properly hung; saw not properly fitted or dressed; saw not properly balanced on mandrel ; a badly running carriage; collars not true, etc. PROCURE GOOD SAWS. In justice to saw-mill men, we have to say that they sometimes have good reasons for complaint on account of bad saws, which leads us to remark that it is the duty of every saw-mill man to procure a good and reliable saw. Too many are governed by prejudice in the selection of a saw, while others allow themselves to be influenced in the purchase by the matter of a few dollars in price. Purchasers should consider only the character of the saws offered them, based on the reputation of the manufacturer. ATKINS' SAWS RELIABLE. We are ready to admit that we are not infallible in our work, but we claim most emphatically that we have come as near to perfec- tion in saw making as is possible, as we use only the finest grades of selected steel and have in our employ the most skillful mechanics, as- sisted by the most modern machinery and appliances. Our methods of tempering and adjusting circular saws produce uniform results, unexcelled by any methods known to the trade. These facts, together with our^invariable disposition to comply with the terms of our warranty, assure the buyer of the Reliable character of the Atkins Saws. 22 E. C. Atkins & Co. POINTS TO BE OBSERVED IN ORDERING SAWS. In ordering a circular saw, the kind of work to be done and the power at hand to drive it, should always be taken into account. GAUGE OF SAW. For mills of ordinary capacity, doing general work, we recom- mend saws seven gauge at the center, and eight on the rim. If the timber is valuable and the sawyer skillful, an eight by nine gauge may be used, and in special cases an eight by ten gauge. Any lighter gauge than eight at the center and ten at the rim we consider imprac- ticable for use in ordinary mills. A trial of very thin saws as an economical means will, in most cases, be followed by disappointment, for greater than ordinary skill is necessary to successfully manage thin saws, and the lumber saved by the reduced thickness of the saw is more than offset by the waste by bad cuts, where the sawyer is not an expert. The greater the speed and feed used, the heavier the saw should be to stand up to the work, hence it is that for the large mills, where the saving of time more than lumber is desired, saws of six and seven gauge are mostly in demand. NUMBER OF TEETH. With a high motion more teeth are required, for high feed follows great speed, and the saw having more work to do should have more teeth with which to do it, in order that the strain may be evenly dis- tributed. The number of teeth, therefore, should depend not alone on the thickness of the saw, but on the kind of timber to be sawed, and the speed and feed of the mill. Having considered these matters, orders for circular saws should be accompanied by the following : Indianapolis, Ind, 23 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING CIRCULAR SAWS. When ordering circular saws, the following directions should be explicitly given : Diameter of saw in inches : right or left-hand (see engravings below) ; thickness or gauge of saw at rim ; thickness or gauge of saw at center ; number of teeth in saw ; kind and No. of tooth, as shown on engraving (see following page) ; size of mandrel hole; size of pin holes ; distance between pin holes from center to center ; number of revolutions per minute ; greatest feed at each revolution of saw, in inches ; kind of lumber to be sawed ; spring set or swage ; whether for ripping or cross-cutting. When ordering bolting saws, state whether rip or cross-cut. N- B. — All our stock saws forty inches and larger in diameter have 2-inch mandrel holes and | lug pin holes, three inches from center to center, if wanted different, please send full pattern of holes.

This is one of the most essential things to be observed, and no one can give this too niuch attention. If the speed of the saw is too high, it can not do good work, besides rendering it liable to many- accidents. It generates heat in the saw, makes it touchy and limber, and it will only run and do good work on light feed, and while the teeth are in the best of order, and have a keen, sharp, cutting corner; as soon as this is gone, the saw will run or dodge whenever it comes in contact with the least obstacle. And again : Too low has its ob- jections, but it is not attended with such ruinous effects upon the saw. These difficulties can be remedied to a limited extent by the ham- mering of the saw, but can not be entirely overcome. TABLE OF SPEED OF CIRCULAR SAWS. SIZE OF SAW. REV. PER MIN. SIZE OF SAW. REV.

C. Atkins & Co., ETJLES FOR CALCULATING THE SPEED OF SAWS, PULLEYS OR DRUMS. Problem 1. The diameter of the driven being given, to find its number of revolutions. EuLE. — Multiply the diameter of the driver by its number of revolutions, and divide the product by the diameter of the driven; the quotient will be the number of revolutions of the driven. Problem 2. The diameter and revolutions of the driver being given, to find the diameter of the driven, that shall make any given number of revolutions in the same time. Rule. — Multiply the diameter of the driver by its number of revolutions, and divide the product by the number of revolutions of the driven ; the quotient will be its diameter. Problem 3. To ascertain the size of the driver. Rule. — Multiply the diameter of the driven by the number of revolutions you wish it to make, and divide the product by the revo- lutions of the driver; the quotient will be the size of the driver. GENERAL HINTS RESPECTING THE MANNER OF FITTING OR DRESSING SAWS. A saw tooth should have the proper spread and pitch for the wood which it is to cut. Soft wood requires more spread or "set," and less pitch ; hard wood the reverse. A saw swaged full on both corners with square dress will do the fastest cutting, but requires the most power. In swaging use oil on point of tooth. By careless dressing we have seen saw teeth higher back of the cutting point than at the point itself, thereby causing the saw to bind and heat on the rim. The greater the feed the lower the back of the tooth should be, giving easier clearance and greater dust room. Tn spreading the points of teeth it is almost impossible to make them all of equal width, but they may be reduced to a uniform width by the use of our patent Side File, which is illustrated herein. By this treatment the corners are stronger and less liable to break ofi" in hard cuts. iNDIANAPOIvIS, InD. 27 THE EMERY WHEEL. Emery wheels, as employed in gumming and sharpening saws, accomplish a great saving of time and labor, but when improperly used, as they often are, cause irreparable injury to saws. When the points of teeth become heated or " blued " by the use of an emery wheel, the steel loses its toughness and tenacity in some degree, and is liable to split and crumble off in the process of spreading the points afterward. We have had saws returned to the factory in this condition, said to be defective, which we were unable ourselves to spread on the points without checking and breaking them off, but which, after cutting off the points and starting new teeth, stood every test per- fectly, thus proving that the trouble was caused by the improper use of the emery wheel. BAD FILING. No saws are so liable to crack in using as circular cut-ofF saws, for the reason that they are generally filed so as to leave a square cor- ner at the base of the teeth, and the bevel of the face being carried down into this corner, still further weakens it. Saws broken in this condition can not be considered subject to our warranty. It is surprising that so many still persist in this manner of filing, when a few strokes with a round file at the base of the tooth after beveling the front, will keep it in good shape by preventing the formation of the square corners from which the crack starts. The saw will clear better if the bevel is carried down only half the depth of the teeth. 28 E. C. Atkins & Co. INSERTED TOOTH SAWS. CHISEL TOOTH "AA." PATENTED MARCH 28, 1893.

ADVANTAGES TO BE GAINED IN USING THE KERF KING SAWS. Saws constructed by this method will run with mucht narrower swage or set, and dO' their work with less binding and friction, thus avoiding the expenditure of a great portion; of the motive power usually; employed in driving such saws.^ A large saving is made in the Kerf, which is an important item, of loss in lumber manu- factured by the old method with heavy saws, a large amount of lumber being wast- ed in sawdust. The Kerf King Saws are made at center from 4 to gauge thick, according to size of saw, and are left even thick- ness at center for a space of about 7 inches diameter. They are shouldered on one or both sides and ground abruptly to ten-gauge. From the shoulder they are evenly ground to th^i rim twelve-gai'ige. '/^-n-^' PKICE-LIST. Diameter. Thickness. Hub Diam.

Indianapolis, Ind. 47 BAND SAWS. SUGGESTIONS FOE THE SUCCESSFUL USE AND CARE OF BAND SAWS. THE MILL. The first requisite is a well constructed mill, having closely fitted bearings, perfectly balanced wheels, and sufficient weight of metal properly distributed to stand the heaviest strain put upon it, without vibration. Prevent vibration from every cause, as much as possible, by keeping the mill in perfect condition, the saws in perfect tension > and everything in good order. CROWN OF WHEELS. Wheels having too much crown are objectionable. They produce excessive vibration. The saw must be opened up through the mid- dle to fit the crown of the wheels, therefore, requires more rolling and hammering than if the face of the wheel is flat. If the wheels have too much crown the saw is not as flat when strained. It is subject to greater friction in the guides and in the log. It cuts a wider kerf. It is more liable to crack from uneven tension when strained and from vibration. It will not make as straight lines. It will not cut as smooth lumber. Therefore, wheels with flat, or nearly flat faces are preferable. About one sixty-fourth of an inch crown in a width of 10 inches is the limit permitted. 48 B. C. ATKINS & Co. OPERATOR'S ROOM AND TOOLS. If the location of the mill will permit, have the operating room well lighted from the north. Locate the anvil, etc., as shown in Figure 10. Fig 10. Note. — A indicates position of operator and hammer board; B anvil C anvil block; D leveling table; E saw board. For hand work the tools required are : One anvil, of 80 to 100 pounds weight; one cross-face, one round- face and one twist-face hammer, weight of each about 3.]- pounds ; one five foot and one twelve inch straight-edge ; one tension gauge ; one leveling table; one brazing table and irons; one portable forge for heating the irons ; one Victor Swage ; one Pribnow Shaper, or one Combined Pribnow Swage and Shaper ; one side file ; one jointer ; one set of pulleys and stands ; one clamp for setting, swag- ing and jointing; round edge mill saw files. For machine work : One roller stretching machine; one automatic band saw shari) ener; one automatic power swage; one scarfing machine. All the above we are prepared to furnish on application. Indianapol,is, Ind. 49 TENSION. The tension should be as perfectly uniform as possible through- out the length of the blade. A fast place may cause fracture from undue strain at that point ; and a loose place, from excessive vibra- tion. The tension should be so adjusted that the saw will bear firmly upon the face of the wheels, the principal strain being near the edges of the saw. When the saw is in proper tension the central portion of the blade is expanded, or opened up, so that when the saw is raised, tlie middle will drop away from the straight-edge j\ to y\ of an inch, as in Figure 11. Two methods of testing for tension are in use. In the first method tlie operator raises the saw while the straight edge is held firmly Fig. 11. Note.— First Method. The central portion being in proper tension, drops from the straight-edge when the saw is raised. If too open, roll or hammer with the round-face hammer along both edges on both sides of the saw. 50 B. C. Atkins & Co. across it, and the loose or open places will drop away from the straight edge (as in Fig. 11), and the fast or firm places will be drawn to the straight-edge (as in Fig. 12) . This is the method in common use, and is the most convenient. Fig. 12. Note.— First Method. The central portion being fast and requires open- ing up, is drawn to the straight-edge when the saw is raised. These fast places require rolling, or hammering with the round-face hammer on both sides of the saw. ^ In the second method the saw is pressed down by the operator (as in Fig. 13), and in this method the loose places are drawn to the straight-edge (Fig. 13), and the fast or firm places drop away from it (Fig. 14). Some experts claim this method, although more difficult to operate, will disclose variations of tension, even the smallest loose and fast places, which could not be detected by the first method Fig. IS. Note.— Second Method. The open or loose place.s are drawn to the straight-edge when the saw is pressed down. If too open, roll or hammer with the round-face hammer along both edges on both sides of the saw Fig. 14 Note.— Second Method. The fast or firm places drop away from the straight-edge when the saw is pressed down. These fast places require opening up with the rolls, or round face hammer. Hammer on both sides of the saw. 52 E. C. ATKINS & Co., To increase the tension, open up the center or body of the saw by rolling or hammering (see dotted lines Fig. 16). If the rolls are used, some hammering will be required after rolling, to even up the tension so as to make it uniform throughout the length of the blade. The greatest tension should be in the middle of the blade, decreasing; gradually to within a short distance from the edges, say f to 1^ inchj on the back edge, and 1 to 2 inches on the tooth edge. The wider the saw and the heavier the work to be done, the wider: the firm band on the edge should be. This is evident when it is re-- membered that a 12-inch band saw is subjected to a strain of from six to seven tons in use, in addition to the strain of the cut. By this means a narrow, firm band extends the length of the saw, along each edge, which receives the principal strain. Fig. 15. i Note — If the saw is too open reduce the tension by rolling, or hammering with the round-face hammer on both sides of the saw, near both edges, as in- dicated by the dotted lines. Fig. 16. Note.— To open the saw and give it more tension, roll or hammer with the round face hammer along the central portion of the saw indicated by the dotted lines. If the saw has too much tension, that is to say, is opened up too much through the center, the tension may be decreased by hammeringi ^ near the edges of the saw, on both sides (see dotted lines on Fig. 15). Indianapolis, Ind. 53 The round-face hammer is used for tensioning; light strokes should be used, and the hammering done equally on both sides of the saw. Keep at least I of an inch from the edge of the saw. Test frequently with the straight-edge or tension gauge. Hammer as little as possi- ble. No heavy blows slionid be struck, and the hammer faces should be nearly flat. Tlie tension must be adjusted to suit the crown of the wheel and feed used, the drop from the level in testing varying from tV ^^ TZ ^^ ^^ inch in ten inches wide. In hammering and rolling a band saw to adjust the tension, all the work must be done on the fast or firm part of the blade. The tension gauge (Fig. 17), with the edges curved to suit the crown of wheels and feed used, will be found useful in testing for tension, and if the saw is in proper tension, and the saw raised by the operator, the blade should fit the curve of the tension gauge. Tension Gauge. Fig. 17. Note.— The tension gauge may be made with curves of different diameter on its edges. If the tension gauge is of the proper curve for your mill the saw when raised, if in proper tension, would fit the curve of the gauge. TWISTS AND LUMPS. These are detected by the use of the short straight-edge while the saw rests on the leveling table, and are removed by hammering lightly with the cross-face and twist-face hammers. The faces of these ham- mers should be nearly flat. Heavy blows and sharp hammers are sure to crystallize the steel and cause fracture at the point of contact. Lay the saw upon the leveling table, examine it by passing a straight- edge over it at different angles. Whenever ridges appear, trace their direction, or the angle at which they run along the surface of the saw, and mark same with a piece of chalk. Draw the part which 54 E. C. ATKINS & Co., shows lumps or twists over the anvil, and hammer down the ridges. In hammering down the ridges the face of the hammer should always run in the direction of the ridge. STRAIGHTENING THE BACK. Use the five foot straight-edge on the back of the saw. While it I rests on the leveling table, mark the extent of the curve with the; chalk. The back of the saw may be drawn to a straight line or a true outward curve, by using the round-face hammer upon and near the edge, carrying the blows into the central portion of the saw (Fig. 18), and so preventing unequal expansion, and leaving the saw open. Or better, by the use of the rolls in the same way. ^i*.w Fig. 18. Note.— If the back of the saw curves from the straight-edge, as shown, roll or hammer with the round-face hammer on both sides of the saw, as shown in the shading, until the back shows rounding about i^ to % inch in 15 feet. A convenient method of testing the curve is to place two iron pins 15 feet apart, and one pin central between the others on the curve you find operates best on your mill, which should not exceed j\ of an inch in 15 feet. By moving the saw along with the back resting against the pins, every section of the saw may be gauged to a true curve, suitable for your mill. Indianapows, Ind. 55 Short Straight-edgs. Fig. lu. Note.— For testing saw for twists and lumps on leveling table, and when hung on the wheels. Also used in testing saw for tension, as illustrated in Figures 11 and 12, First Method, and 13 and 14, Second Method. In testing with straight-edge for tension, the space between the straight-edge and saw through which the light passes, should be the same throughout the entire length of the saw, and there should be no places where the tension varies from the center, or is too close to the edge of the saw. If the back of the saw is too rounding, the hammering or rolling must be done upon the toothed edge. Light blows should be used, and both sides of the saw hamm-ered equally, care being taken not to give heavy blows on the extreme edge of the saw, which may cause fracture. It is desirable that the toothed edge should be strained a little tighter than any other portion of the saw. To accomplish this, and preserve uniformity of tension, the back of the saw should be rolled or hammered to a curve, showing about 3^^ inch in 5 feet, or ^ inch in 15 feet rounding, then by tilting the upper wheel so that the saw has a uniform pressure all across the blade, this will secure a tightly strained tooth edge without subjecting the saw to undue strain upon the edge, caused by an all tilt movement. Do not permit the back of the saw to touch the back guide wheel. [f it becomes case hardened by running against the guide wheel, hold I piece of soft emery wheel against the back edge, while moving lowly, and so remove the case-hardened portion at once. The strain put upon the saw in the best constructed mills is rarely over 5,000 to 12,000 pounds, and should be only sufficient to prevent slipping on the wheels. The use of the roller or stretching nachine for putting in tension and regulating the curve of the back 56 E. C. ATKINS & Co., is preferable to all hammering, but the use of the hammer after rolling is necessary to insure the perfect adjustment of tension. To arrest cracks and prevent their extension into the blade, punch a small hole at the extreme end of the fracture. TABLE OF STKAIN FOR BAND SAWS. COMPILED FROM STANDARD AUTHORITIES. Size, Gauge.

These are important features in the use of Band Saws. The speed should be maintained at a uniform rate. Sudden and I excessive increase is liable to result in fracture of the saw. Under • heavy feed the pitch of tlie teeth should be in corresponding ratio, , say from 4 to 6^ inches in ten inches width of saw, and the clearance on the back of the tooth maintained at a proper angle to the pitch. If the pitch and clearance are maintained at the proper ratio, the ' saw will run steady on the wheels witiiout lateral motion, and if I properly tensioned, seldom, if ever, touch the back guide wheel or ' run off the wheels. This matter of pitch and clearance has been i deemed of sufficient consequence to be made the subject of an elabo- ■ Indianapoi^is, Ind. rate geometrical claim in patent No. 521,343, by Dexter Hazzard. Variations from the formula laid down are admissible in different kinds of timber and under varying requirements. SHAPE AND SWAGING OF TEETH. The teeth should be as short as will afford proper dust room, and gullets always round ; no sharp corners to invite fracture. Long teeth vibrate in the cut, and vibration from any cause is ruinous to suc- cessful band saw practice. In band swaging we advise the use of the Pribnow Combined Swage and Shaper, or the Victor (Parke) Swage, to be followed by the Pribnow Shaper. The shaper insures a perfect shape of point, having the under cut or bevel from outside of point to blade, essential to perfect lines and smooth work. OUE SILVER STEEL. We can assure our patrons that the Silver Steel used in our Band Saws, and made on formulas expressly for us, is not excelled by any other steel, and the saws with proper usage will wear out without fracture. Fluxes, such as Aluminum, and alloys, such as Nickel, are useful, and are used in the manufacture of our steels, but these things in the absence of high grade material and the proper per centage of carbon, will not produce fine steel having the qualities of toughness, elasticity and edge-holding qualities characteristic of our High Grade Silvkr Steel, which we guarantee superior to any in these essential particulars, as well as our superior method of manufacture. 58 E.

A FEW REASONS WHY THESE GUIDES ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHERS. Because— We avoid friction, avoid using oil, at the same time having a good, firm support for the saw. Because— It is instantly adjusted to any width or thickness of saws. Because— We have narrow side guides above and below the back-bearing which are spread apart, preventing the side of the saw from heating. Because — The wearing parts are so constructed, should they become broken or lost, they can be replaced at a mere trifle. Because— They can be readily attached without injury to the machine; and if not found just as represented, may be returned. Price of Small Guide, taking saw from one inch in width to one-sixteenth $10.00 Net. Price oi larger sizes will be given on application, depending upon width of saws used, and difficulty of applying to machine. INDIANAPOIvIS, Ind. (il EGAN BAND SAW GUIDE. PRICE, $10.00. DESCRIPTION OF ROLLER GUIDE. The roller is made of hardened steel and perfectly true to size and shape, and is attached to a spindle of same material running in a close-fitting sleeve and so arranged that all bearings are easily oiled and secure from escape. The frame holding the side guides is adjustable to and fro for the various widths of blades by means of the thumb screw as seen in the cut. The back of the saw blade has a very long bearing across the face of the roller, thus providing for the least amount of friction and spreading it over the largest surface possible, which thereby prevents the crystallization that causes the breakage of saws through beat and friction. The side guides are extra long and of hardened steel, supporting the sides of the saw blade in the most approved manner, and which results in an Improved action of the saw in many ways, especially with respect to breakage and twisting or running. " These side guides are adjustable sidewise with a wrench, and are movable to the blade or from it, as desired, to suit the various widths of saws, so that at all times the saw blade is held rigid the full with and close to the teeth of the same. 62 E.

The higli standard of excellence attained for the Atkins Cross- Cut Saws is the result of years of experience and practical tests of I methods, appliances and steel used in their production. We have introduced all the recognized improvements in Cross- Cut Saws; prominent among these are the original Tuttle Tooth, Silver Steel Diamond and Dexter. These stand at the head of fine, fast-cutting saws. We are prepared to say that there are no results obtained by any method of grinding saws that have not been accomplished in our factory. Our method of tempering is the most approved known, dispensing almost entirely with hammering, and securing absolute uniformity of temper throughout the entire length of the savr, and of any number of saws. Every saw is carefully tested for temper and fitted perfectly for use before shipment. We assure our patrons, and those desiring to purchase, that we shall continue to maintain this high standard. INTERESTING FACTS. An examination of the following pages, and a practical test of '. the merits of our saws, substantiate the claim that, in quality of ma- terial and temper; in perfect fitting for use; in general finish and I appearance; in the great variety of styles; in adaptability to all sections and kinds of timber; in fast cutting and light running qual- ities, our line of Cross-Cut Saws is unequaled by any American or foreign manufacturer. CAUTION. The fine qualities of the Atkins higli grade saws have been ap- preciated by lumbermen and sawyers, causing a large demand for our leading brands of cross-cut saws. This has led manufacturers of inferior goods to imitate saws of our manufacture. Beware of these imitations and see that the brand, E. C. Atkins & Co., is on every saw. OTJR REGISTERED TRADE-MARKS.

In fitting a saw, the teeth should first be jointed, or made uniform inlength. To accomplish this, place a nine-inch file in the Jointer, as shown in the cut, and by means of the large screw, spring it to suit the curve of the saw. and pass it lightly over the points of the teeth until it touches the shortest tooth ; then place the tooth gauge over the cleaner drag teeth, as indicated in cut, and file them down to the gauge. Now. if the saw requires setting, lay the setting block on a log with a place leveled to receive it, or end of a block of wood, and lay the saw upon setting block so that the point the tooth to be set projects over e apex of the beveled surface ^^^ fully one-quarter of an inch, bring- /^y^'- ^' ""^ESC^^^^^ ^* J ^^^ *^'^^ point of tooth to the line / / J j™ii^*^^^% scored on the face of the block. // mm0>^*'Uuai^>Jl^ \ (See cut.) The tooth being in position, give two or three strokes with a light hammer over the apex, fully one- quarter of an inch from the point, which Avill usually give tho required set; regulate the set by gauging each tooth with the tooth-gauge; take it ,„^r^rw^-.^ «■„,« «r TT^n- in the left hand and place it against TOOTH SET-GAUGE. the side of the saw. (See cut.) The point on short end indicates the least set, and the point on long end indicates a little more set. The side file should be used to remove any feather-edge or bur left in filing, and even the set perfectly. This can be done when the saw is in the vise or filing clamp. Place an eight-inch mill bastard file in the recess on the side file ; tighten the screws holding the file. Be particular that the saw is placed firmly in the holder. Pass the center of the file lightly against the teeth until the bur is removed and the set evened up. Care should be exercised not to u.<}e the side file more than is necessary to remove the feather-edge and even up the set. The wrench may be used to lessen the set if necessary, but should never be used to set the teeth. This should be done only with a hammer upon the setting block, or any hard and slightly beveled surface. Notice carefully the manner in which the saw is filed when new, and file as nearly as possible in the same manner. To secure the best results, our Diamond Tooth (both Silver Steel and Cast Steel) and Dexter Saws should be sharpened after being set. 80 E. C. Atkins & Co. TOOTH GAUGE.

Price, Single Gauge $0 10 $0 80 The cleaning teeth of all saws should be somewhat shorter than the cutting teeth, and, although shortened, should be of uniform length throughout. The flange of the Gauge rests on the points of the cut- ting teeth, the cleaning teeth projecting through the cpening in the center of Gauge. Reduce the projecting points by means of a file until arrested by the edge of the Gauge, which can not be cut with a file. Thus tooth after tooth can be rapidly and correctly reduced to an even length by any unskilled operator. Our Single Gauge regulates the cleaners for hard wood, and our Double Gauge for both hard and soft wood. One end of the straight- edge of these Gauges has been slightly beveled, so that they may be used for gauging the set, as shown in cut. GAUGING THE SET. Price, Double Gaage Each, $0 15.

In the Criterion Adjustable Set we have combined the principle of tlie anvil and hammer. The hammer or striking part is FINE tool steel, DROP FORGED. The anvil is tempered steel. By the use of the Criterion set, with a light hammer, giving a light blow, an inexperienced person can set each tooth in a saw to an exact gauge, imparting an absolutely uniform set to each tooth, and preventing more set than is desired. Price, each fO 75 Price, each, by mail 1 00 DIRECTIONS FOR USING. It is essential that an improperly set saw should have the set taken out before giving it a proper set; this can be done by loosening the screw at the end of the block and slipping the slide forward as ^ar as it 'will go ; that raises the back of the saw, and with a light blow of the hammer on the hammer-set the set can easily and rapidly be taken out. To set the teeth, put the slide back as far as it will go and tighten the screw; with a light hammer and a light blow a full set is easily given to the saw. If less set is required, put the slide forward to the first or second notch, as may be desired. Be particular, in using the Setj to press the blade firmly down on the bed of the Set with tlie hand. 82 E. C. Atkins & Co., THE ATKINS PATENT CRITERION SAW-SET. ITo. 2. FOR HAND, WOOD AND SMALL SAWS. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. To vary the set, loosen the forward screw, then turn the screws at end of the block until the end of the bar is raised, then tighten thei forward screw. To Set Fine-Tooth Saavs. — Pay no attention to guide at base' of anvil for length of tooth, but place the tooth under the point of the hammer, the point of the hammer nearly reaching the base of the tooth. The hammer being close down on the tooth, makes a perfect guide for setting the teeth. Caution. — Use a light hammer and strike a light blow. A^ heavy hammer and a heavy blow will not impart more set than a light hammer and a light blow. Price, each $0 75 Price, each, by mail 1 00 Indianapolis, Ind. 8;3 ATKINS' ADJUSTABLE SAW-SET.

The Roberts Patent Swage produces results that are accom- plished by the bar and hammer swage, drawing the teeth with- out changing the pitch, or injury to the steel, and shortens the teeth less than by any other process of swaging. It makes the point very strong, and less liable to drop the point in hard lum- ber and pine knots, thus insuring economy in the wear of the saw, and better results in the production of lumber than with saws dressed with the swages in general use.

C. Atkins & Co., ATKINS' PATENT COMBINED CIRCULAR SAW- GUIDE AND ROUNDER. THE GUIDE. This new invention, used simply as a paw-s^nidc, has advantages which are possessed by no other guide. A ghmce at tlie accompany- ing engraving will make this fact apparent to every practical saw- mill man. Guide is adjustable and reversible. If the guide-pins (E) are set at proper distance apart to admit the rotation of the saw, the adjustment is easily accomplisiied without danger to the operator while the saw is in motion. Loosen the set-screw (D) and turn the hand-wheel (A) in the direction required until the saw has the proper lead. Every sawyer will appreciate the practical value of this feature of our guide, as the adjustment of saw-guides — often necessary or dc- ■^irable to change the lead of the saw — has heretofore been attended with more or less danger, or accomplished with considerable incon- venience and loss of time by the stoppage of the mill. Being reversi- ble, our guide may be used on a right or left-handed mill, or turned back to permit the removal of the saw from the arbor without dis- placing the guide. Loosen the set-screw (D) and turn liack the arms of the guide, or reverse them as is desired. In the sleeve enclosing the shank of the guide, is inserted the set-serew (D), which fits into a groove on either side of the shank, and wliieh is employed to hold the arms of tlie guide rigid when turned either to right or left, i)re- venting them frofti turning over whenever the motion of the saw is reversed. When the guide is in use, the set-screw (D) should be set tight. THE ROUNDER. The " Rounder " f»r ".Jointer" is entirely new and original, and its attachment to a saw-guide a novel and valuable feature. When not in use, detach the rounder by using the thumb-nut (F^ Saw teeth frequently rcipiire jointing, and no device has ever been constructed that will " ronnd up" a circular saw so perfectly, eft'ect- ually and conveniently as that we have now introduced in combina- tion with our saw-guide. Whenever it is desirable to joint the teeth of a saw, the emery block is brought into contact with the rapidly revolving saw by means of the hand-wheel (C^) to which tlie emery block is attached. During the operation the attendant will turn th hand-wheel (B), thereby rotating the emery block so as to })resent a constantly changing surface for action on the saw teeth, and wear the face evenly. The saw is thus made perfectly round and all ready for dressing, and every tooth will do its proper duty. The saw will wear longer, cut more lumber, and the lumber will be smoother. Indianapous, Ind.

'1 he Atkins Under Dog is so constructed that it will dog under a square surface and not hit the nut on the mandrel, and will pass overset rod and not interfere in opening the head blocks. It has fourteen inches travel up and down, giving sufficient capacity for holding logs firmly, avoiding slipping and getting away ; and, If required, can lift a knotty or crooked log up so it will pass over the mandrel without turn- ing or rubbing. It can be used with any upper dog, and with the upper dog makes a good double dog for quarter sawing. The Atkins Under Dog is simple and durable in construction, convenient and easy of operation, and holds the log fast. THE DOG FOR QUARTER SAWING. Price, per pair $25.00 114 B. C.
