This course is not currently scheduled.
A one-week course for novice and apprentice saw filers that
focuses on practical saw blade tensioning skills. Presented
in cooperation with saw blade and saw filing manufacturers
This program gives participants a hands-on opportunity to
learn and practice the fundamentals of saw tensioning and
leveling under the guidance of highly qualified instructors.
Over 25 hours of workshop practice are included in the course.
During workshop sessions, participants will be using straightedges
and the traditional "light gap technique" to determine
