  • Patent number: 8176825
    Abstract: A method for producing carbide and diamond cutting tool inserts adapted to compensate for braze-induced warp is provided. In this method, the anticipated warpage of the insert from brazing is considered prior to cutting the insert from a PCD and carbide disk and the cutting path for the insert is adjusted to compensate. The adjusted cutting path creates an insert shape that, after warping as a result of the brazing process, will conform substantially to the originally intended insert or cutting tool shape. Also, a method of providing relief on the bottom surface of a brazeable insert is provided. Further, tools produceable by these methods are disclosed, such as a diamond edged rotary cutting tool with a substantially sinusoidal rake face and cutting edge.

    Abstract: A saw blade with cutting wings on the teeth. The blade has a blade body, teeth located on an outer edge of the blade body, and cutting wings extending from either side of each tooth on the blade body. Each tooth is angled in a direction opposite that of the adjacent teeth to eliminate block cutting characteristics and to enhance the serrating effect of the teeth. A first wing is longer than a second wing and contains a barb that enhances the serrating effect of the wing. Both wings are beveled so that the sharpest edge of the wings is located on the outer edge of the wings. The cutting wings pre-cut a width of the material and reduce the splintering and shredding effects of the blade on the material.

  • Patent number: 4210050
    Abstract: A cutter for cutting continuous stock materials into discrete lengths is disclosed. The cutting device includes a plurality of rotatable cutting tools or blades extending transversely across a cutting zone. The cutting tools are mounted in a common plane, are intermeshed, and are synchronously driven in opposite directions. The cutting zones of the intermeshed cutting tools overlap and thus the cutting device is capable of performing the cutting operation by movement in one direction through the material being cut. The cutting tools have opposed segments that carry cutting edges. In one form of tool, the cutting edges are spaced from the axis of rotation of the cutting tool by a distance that continuously increases in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the cutting tool. This change in distance can be related to the speed of rotation of the cutting tools and the speed at which the cutting tools are advanced through the material being cut.
