Abstract: A method of mounting cutters (3) or the like of high-alloy tool steel on a tool supporting member of metallic material, especially on the master disk (2) of a circular saw blade (1) or the supporting band of a ribbon for a band saw, by providing intermediate pieces between supporting member and cutters, in which the cutters (3) of high-alloy tool steel are initially welded individually and in soft or non-hardened condition onto an intermediate piece (4), and in which subsequently the intermediate piece (4) including the cutter (3) is subjected to heat treatment to harden the cutter (3) and simultaneously temper the intermediate piece (4), whereafter the intermediate piece (4) with the cutter (3) is welded onto the supporting member (2). Tools made in accordance with such a method are therefore distinguished by cutters (3), of high-alloy tool steel which are welded via an intermediate piece (4) to a tool supporting member (e.g. the master disk (2) of a circular saw blade (1)).
