  • Patent number: 9333571
    Abstract: A tool unit for a cutting or sawing machine with a tool carrier, including a first tool and a second tool. The first and second tool include a disk shaped cutting blade and a blade driving member. The first tool is secured to the second tool by means of a central clamping unit. Each blade driving member has a an aperture for attaching the first and second blade driving member together using the central clamping unit. The at least one disk shaped cutting blade has an at least partly recessed portion, adjacent to the aperture. The recessed portion is provided for attaching the disk shaped cutting blade to the corresponding blade driving member by holding the recessed portion axially between a main part and a blade supporting part of the corresponding blade driving member, ensuring an essentially flat outer extension plane of each tool.

  • Publication number: 20120304842
    Abstract: A tool unit (3) for a cutting or sawing machine with a tool carrier (103) enabling especially deep cuts, comprises a first tool (1) and a second part (2, 50). The first tool (1) comprises a disk shaped cutting blade (10) and a first blade driving member (40). The second part (2, 50) comprises either a second blade driving member (50), or a second tool (2) comprising a disk shaped cutting blade (10) and a second blade driving member (50). The first tool (1) is secured to the second part (2, 50) by means of a central clamping unit. Each cutting blade (10), has a central aperture defined by a central edge, and a peripheral cutting edge (13), being the working part of the tool (1, 2). The blade driving members (40, 50) are arranged to rotate together with the disk shaped cutting blade/s (10) about an axis of rotation (A). At least one of the driving members (40, 50) has a circumferential driving surface (41, 51) provided to be able to cooperate with an endless power transmission means.

  • Patent number: 8215295
    Abstract: A rotatable cutting tool unit of a tool assembly for a cutting machine that is used in conjunction with an associated method of cutting provides several novel aspects. The tool arrangement, which includes two tool units, includes first and second disk-shaped tools rotatable about an axis. The tools define maximum tool arrangement boundaries along the axis. A driving arrangement, at an axial location between the first and second tools, supports the first and second tools for rotation and transfers driving force. A radially outer periphery of the driving arrangement is at a radius less than a radius of a peripheral cutting edge portion of the first tool and less than a radius of a peripheral cutting edge portion of the second tool.
