GAGE FOR SAWS.

Application filed November 3, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIVERT BUSKALA, citizen of the United States, residing at Shine, in the county of Jefferson and State of l/Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gages for Saws; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in raker gages for saws and comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a view showing the application of the device as a leveler. Fig. 2 is a view showing the tool reversed and applied to the teeth as a raker gage. Fig. 3 isan enlarged detail sectional view through the device. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the face.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a plate having a lateral handle B projecting from one face and the opposite face is provided with a central beveled projection D, shown clearly in the enlarged detail sectional view, and which latter is used for a raker gage. 7 i

In applying the tool for use as a level and as illustrated in Fig. 1, the surface of the plate from which the handle projects is applied to the ends ofthe teeth as shown and which will serve as a gage to determine the proper length of the beveled teeth, it being Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 8, 1916.

Serial No. 59,407.

understood that the saw is adapted to be jointed from the center toward the end and, by the use of the tool, it will not be necessary to run the surface over the entire length of the teeth.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings, the reverse side of the tool is utilized as a raker gage, the highest or thickest portion of the beveled projection being held toward the center of the saw at all times in the use of the tool.

It will be noted that the beveled projection is provided with cross marks, designated by letters E, F, G, and H, spaced apart and serving as gages for different types of saws, thus affording means for determining the proper length of rakers without adjustment, that is for adapting the saws for cutting various kinds of timber. Beginning at the lower or thin end of the beveled projection the first section is for adapting the saws for felling purposes, the second section for light saws for hard timber, the third section for medium weight saws while the fourth section is for heavy saws for use on soft timber. By holding the thick or projecting end of the beveled gage toward the center of the saw, the front side or half of the raker tooth should rest in the section required for a particular type of saw for the use specified.

What I claim to be new is A combined raker saw gage and saw tooth alining device, the same comprising a plate having a handle projecting therefrom, one side of the plate being flat and the opposite side having a centrally disposed longitudinally inclined elevated portion provided with transverse division marks.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SIVERT BUSKALA.
