Abstract: A cutting blade (1) comprising a disc (2) intended for rotation and having attachment means arranged in its center of rotation (3') and teeth (5) or the like arranged on the periphery thereof. Formed in the disc (2) are slots (7, 8) or recesses which extend from the radially inward part (3) of the disc out towards its periphery (6) in a manner to form therebetween elongated disc-material sections (11, 11'). Arranged on one side of a line (12) which extends between the rotational center (3') and that part (11a) of the material section (11) facing the periphery is a zone (13), preferably a material zone, adapted when subjected to high load to take-up elastically, or substantially elastically, substantially all the changes in length and/or shape occuring primarily in the peripheral part (6) of the disc as a result of centrifugal forces, variations in heat etc.
