Useful Reject

Basically you are draw filing. I usually do so on the last few strokes using a fine file. Nice finish.

When working on small saws (where I need all the visual aids I can get) I perform a final jointing pass with a india fine stone. This make a very shiny "top" to the tooth, which is helpful.

Great tip, BB. I use an old 8" oilstone for stoning if I need to (don't like to need to), so that would wrok great.

And as my eyes have started to require magnification on small teeth, any help is appreciated!

Take care, Mike
