  • Patent number: 12103097
    Abstract: A reciprocating saw blade includes a body including a first end portion, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a coupling edge extending between the first and second end portions. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second end portions. The reciprocating saw blade also includes an attachment portion coupled to the first end portion of the body and a cutting portion coupled to the coupling edge of the body. The cutting portion includes a plurality of cutting teeth and a plurality of gullets. Moreover, the reciprocating saw blade includes a plurality of slots spaced along the cutting portion to separate the cutting portion into a plurality of cutting segments including a distal end segment adjacent the second end portion of the body. The distal end segment extends beyond the coupling edge of the body in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20220331890
    Abstract: A saw blade includes a cutting portion having consecutive first, second, and third cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth includes a rake surface, a relief surface, and a tip. The first cutting tooth includes a protrusion extending from the relief surface of the first cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first gullet positioned between the first cutting tooth and the second cutting tooth and a second gullet sized differently than the first gullet positioned between the second cutting tooth and the third cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first pitch extending over the first gullet from the tip of the first cutting tooth to the tip of the second cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a second pitch different than the first pitch extending over the second gullet from the tip of the second cutting tooth to the tip of the third cutting tooth.
