Abstract: A planar band saw blade having an outer cutting edge with a plurality of saw teeth also includes sets of secondary teeth placed in cutout portions along a centerline of the band saw blade. The secondary tooth sets provide portions within the body of the saw blade that provide additional cutting action that reinforces the primary outer cutting edge of the blade. The band saw blade may include teeth on each parallel edge and the interior tooth sets in each cutout portion alternatively point toward opposite edges.
Abstract: A planar saw blade having an outer cutting edge with a plurality of saw teeth also includes sets of secondary teeth placed in cutout portions within the body of the saw blade. The secondary tooth sets provide portions within the body of the saw blade that provide additional cutting action that reinforces the primary outer cutting edge of the blade, and include deep gullets that aid in the removal of sawdust and debris.
Abstract: A saw includes a planar body having at least one cutting edge with serrated teeth. The planar body has cutout portions displaced from the outer cutting edges that include first and second sets of secondary teeth, which are positioned along first and second arcs concentric with the outer cutting edge or edges, at first and second radial distances from the center of the saw blade.
