    Abstract: A saw tooth apparatus is adapted to be connected to and driven by a power source and includes a circular disk-like base connected to the power source. The circular disk-like base is bisected by a centrally located center plane. A plurality of tooth supports are distributed peripherally around the circular disk-like base. Each tooth support has a minimum transverse tooth support thickness, a maximum transverse tooth support thickness, and a tooth support radial height from a geometrical center of the circular disk-like base. A plurality of teeth are provided, and each tooth is supported by a leading side of a respective tooth support. Each tooth includes a most radially distal tooth portion, a pair of arcuately contoured intermediate tooth portions located symmetrically on either side of the center plane and adjacent to the most radially distal tooth portion, and a least radially distal tooth portion located adjacent to the pair of arcuately contoured intermediate tooth portions.

  • Patent number: 5713259
    Abstract: A high speed hand tool includes a saw disc having less than ten teeth, preferably four. Each tooth has a radial flank, which preferably inclines forward in the cutting direction, and a tangential flank, which has a small clearance angle. The teeth may have a greater thickness than the disc itself which thickness, in that case, diminishes in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation. Alternatively, the teeth may be offset alternately to the right and the left. The invention also comprises an adjustable protective device which enables setting the depth of a perpendicular saw cut.

  • Patent number: 5647264
    Abstract: An indexable cut-off saw is used for cutting metal components, e.g. cutting a bearing cap cluster into separate caps. The saw has a circular tool body for mounting on an arbour and this tool body has flat side faces and a narrow outer periphery. A plurality of circumferentially equally spaced cutting inserts are mounted at the outer periphery of the tool body, these inserts being arranged in groups of three such that the total width of the saw cut is divided between the actions of three cooperating cutting inserts. These three cooperating cutting inserts include a central insert mounted centrally on the outer periphery of the tool body and left and right side inserts mounted in pockets extending into the side faces of the tool body. The left and right side inserts are of rectangular configuration presenting straight cutting edges, while the central cutting insert of each group presents a curving cutting face.

  • Patent number: 5261306
    Abstract: An improved circular saw blade is rotatable in a guard casing having tree receiving vertically aligned openings in its upper and lower plates. The blade has a peripheral surface formed in part by a series of replaceable circumferentially spaced teeth with transverse cutting edges positioned to rotate about a predetermined first radius. The blade also has a series of circumferentially spaced, generally radially projecting backer tooth mounts for receiving the rear surfaces of the teeth. The mounts have sloped peripheral surfaces lying radially inside the first radius of rotation and have rear surfaces generally parallel to the mount front surfaces. The saw further has generally tangentially projecting finger-like guides in a guide region spaced circumferentially forwardly from each tooth to provide a radially extending chip passing slot between each tooth and guide and the guides have peripheral surfaces positioned to rotate radially inside the first arc of rotation about a second arc of rotation.

  • Patent number: 4913767
    Abstract: A cut off blade adapted for severing plastic film material folded in layers. The blade is a thin metal sheet including an attachment portion and a plurality of similarly shaped teeth defining a cutting edge portion of the blade. Each of the teeth defines parts of the first and second major surfaces in the shapes of isosceles triangles with two equal length sides terminating in points and having bases adjacent the attachment portion and aligned in a first direction along the blade so that the points project at right angles to the first direction. The angle between any portion of an edge surface of the blade along the cutting edge portion and the second surface when measured in a plane normal to the first direction is the same acute angle, and the metal of the sheet defining the edge surface along the cutting edge has been cold flowed toward the intersection thereof with the second major surface by a punch and die forming method to define a sharp edge at that intersection.

  • Patent number: 4604933
    Abstract: A carbide tipped saw for cutting non-ferrous industrial metals, capable of use on a low-rpm metal sawing machine designed for saws with high-speed steel teeth, has higher hogger teeth alternating around its periphery with lower raker teeth. Each hogger has a cutting edge that is parallel to the saw axis and extends across more than half of the kerf width, defined by the junction of a positively raked front surface with a top surface. Oblique front edges on the hogger are defined by junctions of the front surface with oblique surfaces that lie between the top and side surfaces and face radially and axially outwardly. Each raker removes only side portions of the kerf and has swept-back cutting edges defined by the junctions of its top surface with chamfer surfaces that are negatively raked and face obliquely forwardly and axially outwardly.

  • Patent number: 4587876
    Abstract: The teeth of the saw blade (1) intended for preparing wood comprise a cutting edge (2) beginning at the tip (6) and forming an angle of intersection (.delta.) of 40.degree.-55.degree.. Adjoining the cutting edge (2) at the tooth face there is a cut-back, circular curved section (3). This curved section (3) continues at the bottom into a rounded base (4) between adjacent teeth and then continues into the edge (5) bordering the gap between the teeth, and on into the back of the next tooth.A considerably increased cutting performance is achieved with a saw blade of this kind, since a paring action is effected, and the shavings can roll away easily.Saw blades equipped with this kind of teeth can be made both as circular saw blades and also as bandsaw blades which are moved in a straight line.

  • Patent number: RE43287
    Abstract: A metal cutting band saw blade has a plurality of cutting teeth defining a cutting direction, and a repeating tooth pattern of between 3 and 7 teeth. Each tooth defines a laterally-extending upper surface having a width and a height with respect to the back edge of the blade, and side surfaces extending laterally and downwardly on opposite sides of the upper surface relative to each other at acute angles relative to the upper surface. The teeth located rearwardly of the first tooth with respect to the cutting direction of the saw blade define progressively lower heights and progressively smaller acute angles of the side surfaces, and the widths of the upper surfaces of these teeth are greater than the width of the upper surface of the respective first tooth.
