Abstract: A long metal sheet is rolled in a width direction to form a hollow tube while being delivered. A seam appeared in a longitudinal direction of a tubular body is electrically welded to form an electric-resistance-welded tube. The electric-resistance-welded tube is cut in a predetermined size by a circular saw cutting machine which travels in synchronicity with the electric-resistance-welded tube during its production process. A weld bead remains at the seam of the electric-resistance-welded tube so that the weld bead remained in the tube may be involved when the electric-resistance-welded tube is cut by the circular saw blade. Therefore, there is a problem to be solved that a significant load may be generated on a second rake face of the tip when the cutting tip of the circular saw blade bites debris in the tube, which may lead to the chipping or missing of the tips. Solution to Problem A circular saw blade has a plurality of cutting tips 10 joined at an outer circumference of a base metal.

Abstract: A tipped saw blade includes a disc-shaped base metal and a plurality of tips. Each tip has an edge selected from a flat edge, a left beveled edge, and a right beveled edge. The tips are positioned circumferentially adjacent each other about a radially outer periphery of the base metal. Each flat edge includes a cutting edge that is oriented parallel to a thickness direction of the base metal. Each left beveled edge and each right beveled edge include a corresponding cutting edge that is inclined with respect to the thickness direction of the base metal. Cutting edge line lengths correspond to the lengths at which the cutting edges come in contact with a workpiece when cutting a workpiece. The cutting edges have the following relationship: (sum of cutting edge line lengths of the plurality of beveled edges)?[((cutting edge line length of one of the flat edges)?(kerf thickness+1.5))×(number of the plurality of flat edges)×1.2].

Abstract: In a dimple processing method for forming dimples on a curved surface of a workpiece, a cutting tool having a cutting edge on a rod-shaped body is rotated about a central axis of the cutting tool. The workpiece is rotated about a first axis. The cutting tool or the workpiece moves on a virtual plane through which the first axis passes or on a plane parallel to the virtual plane. The cutting tool or the workpiece moves such that the tip end of the cutting tool follows the curved surface of the workpiece. The cutting edge forms one or more dimple on the curved surface each time the cutting tool rotates.

Abstract: An end mill having a plurality of cutting edges on a surface of a rod-shaped main body is rotated about its longitudinal axis and is moved relative to a workpiece in a feed direction tangential and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis along the workpiece. The end mill is also moved relative to the workpiece in a reciprocal manner in the axial direction while it is moved in the feed direction. In this way, a plurality of dimples are formed by the end mill on the workpiece, such that the dimples are relatively spaced apart from each other on the workpiece. The plurality of dimples are arranged side by side in the feed direction along a line inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the feed direction so as to be offset while partially overlapping with respect to each other in the axial direction.
