Publication number: 20060283436Abstract: An improved circular saw blade designed for cutting fiber cement workpieces, which are becoming more and more prevalent on the construction site, includes a PCD/carbide tip mounted in the rim of a saw blade at six, rather than the usual four locations, equally spaced around the blade. The tips are mounted adjacent a relatively large-diameter, semi-circular gullet, which itself is preceded by a chip and dust minimizer. The minimizer includes several alternating hills and valleys formed in the rim of the saw blade, each hill and valley having the same radius, producing a sinuous array essentially centered on the rim of the blade. It has been discovered that such a dust and chip minimizer reduces the level of dust and chips produced by the blade and clears the same from the kerf generated in the blade-workpiece interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: December 21, 2006Inventors: Stephen Dassoulas, John Curtsinger, Stefan Nock, Dean Edwards, Michael Lindberg, Laura Lindberg, Steve McClaskey

Patent number: 6874635Abstract: A preformed heat shrinking protective cover for a saw blade includes first and second portions each having opposite inner and outer surfaces. The second portion extends from the first portion at an angle relative to the first portion. The first and second portions are configured and adapted for a saw blade to be positioned in contact with the inner surface of the first portion. The first and second portions are made from a heat shrinking material so that when heat is applied to the cover, the second portion shrinks and folds over the first portion with the inner surfaces facing each other and teeth on a saw blade can be retained between the first and second portions. The resulting cover is close fitting and reduces the overall thickness of a saw blade with a protective cover.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2001Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: John Curtsinger

Patent number: 6729220Abstract: A spring loaded diamond shaped arbor for use in a saw blade. The arbor includes comprised of a diamond shaped plate having four peripheral side walls with four corners therebetween that separate the four side walls. The arbor has a central opening that is configured and adapted to allow the arbor to be attached to a power tool. A slot extends from the central opening through one of the side walls or corners so that the arbor can easily be inserted into and removed from a saw blade. The slot allows the arbor to be compressed like a spring and be retained within the central opening in the saw blade.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2001Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: John Curtsinger, Johnny Hortenbury
