Abstract: A circular saw blade having a plurality of circumferentially-spaced cutter teeth projecting radially outwardly therefrom. A portion of the periphery of the blade rises gradually as it progresses toward the front face of a tooth to provide a depth gauge to control depth of cut. A chip clearing channel extends radially inwardly along the body of the blade adjacent the front face of the tooth. A pocket formed in the body has edge margins which receive and support front and rear surfaces of a cutter tip.

Abstract: A circular saw having dual chip cutting action in which all of the saw teeth are of like width and radial height and have similar tooth geometry with the working surface of the leading tooth face disposed at a negative rake angle and having side portions extending outwardly and rearwardly from a central portion at a negative angle to the side faces of the tooth. A single notch is formed in the top face of each tooth and intersects the working surface, and the notch in alternate ones of the saw teeth are disposed at one side of the central plane of the saw body and the notch in the other alternate ones of the saw teeth are disposed at the other side of the central plane of the saw body.

Abstract: Wear-resistant and shock-resistant tools are constructed by preforming carbide-containing working parts of high wear resistance and hardness and attaching them to a softer base metal of the tool by means of a highly shock-resistant steel-to-steel fusion weld. The working part is preformed by powdered metallurgy techniques utilizing steel powders having carbide-forming constituents therein which form carbides along the grain boundaries of the steel uniformly throughout the working part as a result of sintering of the compressed powders. Thereafter the fusion welding process renders the carbide structure of the working part nonuniform for optimum shock resistance, without reducing the effective wear resistance thereof, while also forming a highly shock-resistance joint between the working part and the base metal of the tool.

Abstract: A sawblade has teeth of a height corresponding to the thickness of the blade and chip spaces in the interstices between respective teeth opening into both sides of the blade; the bottoms of alternate chip spaces are inclined to opposite sides of the blade whereby the maximum depth of the chip spaces corresponds to a multiple of the height of the teeth.

Abstract: A machine for removing limbs from trees is described and includes a frame and a pair of saws supported by the frame, the saws each having a longitudinal axis, and being supported by the frame for rotation about the longitudinal axis. The saws include a blade having a cutting edge and being wrapped around the axis in a helical pattern, and the saws are supported in parallel side-by-side relation and are adapted to engage a tree with tree disposed between the saws and with the tree being generally parallel to the longitudinal axes of the saws. The saws are adapted to be rotatably driven about their axes and toward each other. The machine also includes a pair of rollers for clampingly engaging a tree, for pulling the tree in the direction of the longitudinal axes, and for rotating the tree as it is pulled.

Abstract: A circular saw blade for mounting on a powered saw arbor with the blade having saw shoulders spaced thereabout defining open gullet areas. Block shaped teeth of tungsten carbide, or the like, have a bevelled front face at one end of the tooth providing an accentuated rake angle for cutting efficiency. A tooth major axis is disposed substantially normal to a saw blade radius. The saw blade shoulder has an outer edge tangential to its circular path.

Abstract: A saw blade having improved metal cutting characteristics in which the tip of each tooth is formed to provide a primary rake face extending from the tip of the tooth for a distance of 0.007 to 0.020 inch and having a positive rake angle of 12.degree. to 25.degree., a secondary rake face extending from the primary rake face to the gullet of the tooth and having a positive rake angle less than 12.degree., a primary end relief surface extending from the tip of the tooth for a distance of 0.007 to 0.030 inch and forming a relief angle of 10.degree. to 25.degree., and a secondary end relief surface extending from the primary end relief surface to the gullet of the next successive tooth and forming a relief angle greater than the relief angle of the primary end relief surface. The blade can be made by applying a deforming force to the tips of the teeth of a precursor saw blade.

Abstract: A circular saw blade having mounted on the outer circumference thereof a plurality of spaced conical teeth in lobes separated by aerodynamically designed gullets. The teeth are integral portions of elongated shafts and the axis of the elongated shaft is mounted at a slight angle from the perpendicular to a radius of the blade itself. The gullet is of a configuration wherein the turbulence created by the blade moving rapidly through the air generates an outward flow of air removing the particulate waste generated thereby eliminating clogging and the resultant friction.

Abstract: A cutter tool of the kind having a blade body with teeth which are provided with hard material tips is so machined that the side faces of the tips are dished or otherwise concavely contoured.The machining involves mounting the blade body on a worktable and first machining the side faces on one side of the tips to produce a reference plane including the ends of the cutting edges of the tip and using this plane as a reference plane for subsequent machining of the other side faces and the surfaces of the blade body.

Abstract: A motor saw blade with unset saw teeth along at least one edge of the blade and comprising finishing saw teeth having ground centripetally tapering flanks and alternating with roughing saw teeth thinner and longer than the finishing saw teeth so that neither of the teeth need be set.

Abstract: A circular saw is disclosed which employs unique tooth forms contributing to reduced noise. The saw in operation, because of the design of the tooth forms, reduces vibration of the saw plate caused by air turbulence as well as reduces air flow through the gullet of the saw blade. The overall result is a quieter saw. A narrow, shallow and generally square design gullet configuration contributes to noise reduction.

Abstract: A saw tooth insert, for securing to a saw plate, comprises a front cutting surface containing two adjacent grooves extending for substantially the entire height of the cutting face and substantially radially outward from the rotational axis of the saw plate. The lower portions of the grooves end on opposite sides of the saw plate and the upper portions of the grooves form a central cutting edge between them and external cutting edges on each side of the cutting face where the grooves meet the side surfaces of the insert.

Abstract: An insertable tooth for use in a slasher for paper pulp manufacture is disclosed to have a flat elongated plate of steel of even thickness having a rounded base and substantially parallel leading and following edges with a V-shaped groove extending along a lower major portion of the leading and following edges. The tooth also has a planar top angularly extending from a lower point on the following edge toward a higher point near the leading edge. A blade of a material having a hardness of at least 9 MOHS is inserted in a notch at the high point of the leading edge. The blade is in the form of a cubic trapezoid, the base of which is arranged essentially flush with the leading edge. The width of the base of the blade is greater than the thickness of the plate of steel forming the tooth. The sides of the blade are relieved from the base while the upper surface of the blade is arranged nearly coplanarly with or slightly above the planar top of the tooth.

Abstract: A pre-sharpened cutting tip for brazing onto the working edge of a saw plate. The upper end of the tip contains the pre-sharpened cutting edge. The lower end of the tip has a width equal to that of the cutting edge. The midsection of the tip is of reduced width for decreasing the friction between the tip and the workpiece during sawing. Since both ends of the tip are of equal width, the tip can be accurately located with reference to the parallel sides of the saw plate for brazing the tips onto the saw plate.
