8、159-2:1962, which is withdrawn. In this British Standard the specific requirements are given for four classes of tenon saw, two for the use of craftsmen, one for the first grade general duty, and one for general duty in the do-it-yourself environment. One class of dovetail saw is specified. A Britis

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3159-2:1993 BSI 09-1999 1 1 Scope

11、 This British Standard classifies types and specifies certain dimensional aspects of tenon and dovetail saws for cutting timber. The hardness levels and finish of the saw blades are specified and provision is made for testing the qualities of the complete saw. Four classes of tenon saw are specified

12、 and, in each class, saws from200mm to350mm in length are available. This Part of BS3159 applies to dovetail saws of200mm length. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This Part of BS3159 incorporates, by reference, provisions from specific editions of other publications. These normative references

13、are cited at the appropriate points in the text and the publications are listed on the inside back cover. Subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this Part of BS3159 only when incorporated in it by updating or revision. 2.2 Informative references This Part of BS

14、3159 refers to other publications that provide information or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS3159, the fo

15、llowing definitions apply. 3.1 tenon saw a brass backed saw with fine pitch teeth for precision sawing, especially of tenons 3.2 dovetail saw generally a finer toothed, thin bladed version of a tenon saw, and used for cutting dovetails and other fine work 3.3 blade 3.3.1 nominal size the overall len

16、gth of the blade, including any rounding of the toe (seeFigure 1) 3.3.2 blade depth out of back the depth measured across the saw from the tips of the teeth to the bottom edge of the back (seeFigure 1) 3.4 teeth NOTEThe nominal tooth form, including gullet, rake and flank angles, is shown inFigure 2

17、. 3.4.1 pitch the number of tooth points contained in a25mm length of the toothed edge (seeTable 1 andFigure 2) Table 1 Number of points per 25 mm 3.4.2 full cross sharpening of the teeth a technique where the rake and flank faces of each outwardly set tooth are sharpened to a vanishing edge at an a

18、cute angle to the central axis of the saw (seeFigure 3 andFigure 4) NOTEIn this method a saw-sharpening file is held at an angle to the blade and every alternate tooth is filed from one side of the saw. The blade is then turned around and the remaining teeth filed at the same angle (seeFigure 4). 3.

19、4.3 half cross sharpening of the teeth a technique where the rake face of each outwardly set tooth is sharpened to a vanishing edge at an acute angle to the central axis of the saw (seeFigure 3 andFigure 4) NOTEThis method is similar to cross sharpening except that all sharpening is done from the sa

20、me side of the blade, the teeth being filed at the angle alternately from left to right. 3.4.4 straight sharpening of the teeth a technique where the cutting edge is normal, to the side face of the saw (seeFigure 3) NOTEIn this method all sharpening is done from the same side of the blade with the f

21、ile at90 to the line of the blade. 3.4.5 hardpoint a tooth which has increased hardness at the tooth tip, achieved by for example induction or impulse hardening methods 3.5 backs 3.5.1 nominal length the overall length, including any rounding at the front end (seeFigure 1) Nominal size of saw (lengt

25、999 4 Classification The four classes of hand saw are as follows: a) class 1, a first grade saw for the use of craftsmen; b) class 2, a good quality saw for the use of craftsmen; c) class 3, a first grade general duty saw; d) class 4, a saw for general duty in the DIY environment. NOTEThe specific r

26、equirements for each of the four classes of saw are given in clause7 andTable 1, Table 2, Table 3, andTable 4. NOTEFiling at an angle puts a bevel on the sides of the teeth, producing a sharp point on one side of each tooth. By filing as indicated by the arrows these points are on the outside. If th

27、e wrong teeth are filed the sharp points will be in the centre bevelled off to the outside.
