Abstract: A method is disclosed wherein the teeth of a saw are set and, after setting a certain number of teeth and simultaneously with setting the last tooth, the saw blade is cut off and the cutting tool is withdrawn from the cutting zone before the saw is fed along the pitch. The machine includes a frame which carries an appliance for gripping the saw on the sides, a mechanism for the pitch feed of the saw, tooth-setting tools secured on the ends of the arms which are kinematically linked with a machine drive, and a pair of knives for cutting off the saw blade. The knives are located after the tooth-setting tools in the direction of pitch feed. One of these knives is secured on the saw-gripping appliance, while the other one is kinematically linked with one of the arms carrying the tooth-setting tool for joint movement with the latter. The machine provides for manufacturing saws with any required number of teeth.
