A saw tooth setter is a tool used to adjust the kerf of a saw blade. The tool bends individual teeth outward which causes the blade to cut an amount of material greater than the thickness of the blade itself, this allows the saw to operate without binding. The tool has a stationary anvil and a movable punch that bends the tooth to the desired angle. Tooth setters for hand saws and other small blades are usually hand operated. Larger blades such as commercial band saws might be set with an automatic tooth setter ^[1].
