Abstract: A saw blade illumination device includes a waterproof main body that houses a light source to be directed along the length of a bandsaw blade. The device includes a mounting bracket for securing the main body onto a guide post of the band saw. The light source includes a laser assembly having a laser diode, and a lens for producing a generally planar beam of light. A vibration isolator is disposed along the mounting bracket at a location between the main body and the guide post. A power unit is connected to the light source and includes a step down transformer and an electrical connector for engaging the power source of the band saw.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for molding single stems and buds of greenery in flat form projecting from an elongated strip in one continuous piece, softening and curving the flat piece of spaced stems and buds, and then compressing such piece so that the previous flat sections are curved and repositioned to create conically-shaped interfering buds. The method is carried out by the apparatus disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: An improved abrasive tool useful in grinding and cutting and an improvement method and apparatus for making the same wherein a blank having a metallic working area presenting the required profile configuration of the tool has a multiplicity of closely spaced abrasive particles of predetermined size, uniformly distributed in a layer of substantially single particle thickness over the working area, and held in place by electro-deposited nickel preferably formed in two layers adhered to the working surface and to the sides of the abrasive particles for approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the height thereof. The upper surface of the particles are free from plating material and project above the surface of the plating material between the particles. In applying the abrasive particles, the blank is supported by a fixture in a container having a cylindrical impervious side wall surrounding the working surface in spaced relation thereto and having a porous mesh base portion beneath the working surface.
