Stanley #42 W Pistol Grip Saw Set Question.

I have an incomplete model missing the gizmo that screws (6-32 UNC) into the
main body at an angle above the tooth setting piston. Does anyone have a
detailed description/photo and what is its function?

Any info much appreciated, John.

If the 42W is the same as the 42, the only piece coming close to that
description is the anvil. A piece of steel, as wide as the slot by 1/4" thick
by 1-1/8" long, with the top part beveled at the same angle as the plunger
face. Adjusts up and down to
regulate the amount of set.


Hold the phone - I've got a 42W in the drawer as well. That piece you're
missing is a piece of flat steel, about 3/8" by 3/8", with a slot from one side
to allow it to adjust up and down on the screw. From the side opposite the
slot there is a narrow steel finger projecting about 1/4". The finger is bent
at an angle, so that when the piece is installed with the finger downward, the
finger is roughly parallel to the travel of the plunger. I can't find the
instructions for that set right now, but it looks to me as though the piece
serves as a stop for determining the height of the tooth when the sides of the
set body won't do the job - such as on a circular saw blade or a blade with
tooth spacing that won't allow the set body to rest on the top line of the
teeth. Make sense?

The set isn't that old, and I'd be surprised if Stanley doesn't still have
parts and instructions for it.

John...why don't you check the archives or FAQ
before asking such a basic, stupid fucking question.

My pix wouldn't come out, so I'll try to describe it if I can.
There is a wheel with tooth per inch markings that is held in
place by a pair of knurled knobs that the piston approaches when
the handles are squeezed. Other than that there is a piece of
angled steel that the piston passes through as it approaches the
wheel. It has graduation lines on it that line up with the main
body and restrict the amount of set that can be placed on the
saw. I know that's a lousey description, but I hope it helps.

Sounds like you are describing the "Circular Saw Attachment" that is shown on page 10 of the Stanley Repair Parts Catalog, Key No:
10, Part Number 15-042-20. (my copy may be out of date, so take the page number with a grain of salt)

The Repair Parts Catalog is available in PDF format on the Stanley website:

Thanks for your reply Dave.
I know about the use and parts of most saw sets but this one is new to me.
If you visit item # 3287980225 on eBay now there is a somewhat unclear
picture of what I am talking about. This is the link if it not filtered out

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3287980225

Thanks, John.
