  • Publication number: 20110041308
    Abstract: A ganged saw blade assembly for dicing of wafers includes a plurality of circular saw blades positioned along a common central axis and erodible pitch spacers positioned along the common central axis between adjacent saw blades. The pitch spacers are eroded to a desired diameter relative to the common central axis to maintain a desired saw exposure, e.g. by sawing into an abrasive material with the saw blade assembly. The saw blade assembly thus permits use of the saw blades over longer periods notwithstanding erosion of the blades.

The platform attaches to the support member at an end thereof, with the seat attaching to the support member at an opposite end thereof. The mounting base attaches to a tree of any angle, being aligned in the same angular direction thereof. The support member adjustably rotates about the mounting base and is secured in a position, which enables the platform and the seat to achieve a leveled position, regardless of what angled position the mounting base is placed.
