Definitions

1

A specialist who maintains saw blades, sharpening teeth, setting them at the right angle, and tensioning band-saws so they cut true. Critical in sawmills and joinery shops; a bad saw doctor means warped boards and ruined work. A proper trade in its own right, not just a bloke with a file.
