  • Patent number: 8621972
    Abstract: A band saw blade includes multiple saw teeth having a straight tooth and right and left set teeth, and also includes a gullet portion provided between the saw teeth. A rake surface of each of the saw teeth is provided with a chip curler portion formed into an arc shape at an entire range of approximately 90° to form a chip generated at the time of cutting a work into a small rolled shape before the chip comes into contact with a bottom portion of the gullet portion. A chip non-contact surface to be kept out of contact with the chip is formed to have either a flat surface or a convex surface between the chip curler portion and the bottom portion of the gullet portion, and a dent portion is formed between the chip non-contact surface and the gullet bottom portion, the dent portion recessed from the chip non-contact surface in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the band saw blade in order to increase a radius of a concave curved surface constituting a back side of the gullet bottom portion.

  • Publication number: 20130133500
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade provided at the top of the teeth with cutting tips made of a hard material, includes the steps of: offsetting to the left and right saw teeth constituting left and right offset teeth; forming the saw teeth constituting the left and right offset teeth to a smaller tooth height than that of the saw teeth constituting straight teeth; and grinding cutting tips provided to the top of the left and right offset teeth subsequent to the offsetting step, and machining the edge lines at the top of the left and right offset teeth so that the lines are orthogonal to the travel direction of a bandsaw blade and the cutting direction of the bandsaw blade.
