Abstract: A saw blade exhibits a foundation (1) of spring steel, which exhibits along one edge projections (3), each separated by a chip space (2), each carrying a seat (4) each for a cutting material plate (6, 6') and each forming a tooth back (5). The cutting material plates (6, 6') exhibit a cutting edge and a true rake (7) and are arranged at an effective rake angle (.gamma.), while each two adjacent cutting material plates (6, 6') form a pitch (t) with the mutual interval of their cutting edges and/or cutting tips. The cutting material plates (6, 6') are attached with varying pitch (t) and with varying effective rake angle (.gamma.).
