I always had the problem of the saw veering to the right (I’m right-handed). Stoning the set wasn’t working and I thought that I was holding the saw lightly. Turns out I had a death grip with my little finger while the others were quite well behaved. A conscious effort to not grip tightly with the little finger has resulted in dead straight sawing. Sometimes it’s the little things that get you.

Filed the teeth off then taped a section of the band saw blade to the gents saw blade and used it for a guide to start the teeth. It worked just fine. Thought I’d toss that in there in case anyone doesn’t feel like making a wood guide bar. I started the wood bar but messed it up a few times when I decided to try the band saw blade route.
