Abstract: Microtrenching blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade includes a blade body comprising a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge is disposed around a perimeter of the blade body. The blade includes a center arbor bore defining a hole through the blade body, wherein the blade rotates about an axis of rotation disposed in the center arbor bore. The blade includes a plurality of cutters attached to the cutting edge. The blade is such that the cutting edge is separated into a plurality of blade segments, and further such that the plurality of blade segments each comprises two or more of the plurality of cutters.
Abstract: Microtrenching blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade a first blade portion comprising a center arbor bore defining a hole through the blade and a second blade portion comprising a plurality of blade segments, wherein the second blade portion is distal to the first blade portion relative to the center arbor bore. The blade includes a plurality of blade scoops disposed around a perimeter of the blade. The blade is such that the plurality of blade segments and the plurality of blade scoops are arranged such that two of the plurality of blade segments are separated by a blade scoop.
