Abstract: A band saw blade includes a generally planar blade backer having generally parallel right and left sides opposite each other. The blade also includes a plurality of consecutive sets of teeth disposed on a top edge of the blade backer. Each set includes a first straight tooth, a second set tooth, following the first straight tooth and being one of left-set or right-set, a third set tooth, following the second set tooth and being the other of left-set or right set, a fourth set tooth, following the third set tooth and being set in the same direction as the second set tooth, and a fifth set tooth, following the fourth set tooth and being set in the same direction as the third set tooth.

Abstract: A hole saw with a substantially cylindrical body, a center axis of rotation, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A cutting edge defined by a plurality of ground set teeth arranged in a pattern includes a first group of teeth oriented at angles toward the center axis of rotation intermixed with a second group of teeth oriented at an angle away from the center axis of rotation. The teeth angled away from the center axis of rotation are oriented at substantially the same angle and the teeth angled toward the center axis of rotation are oriented with each progressive tooth of the first group have an increasing angle relative to a prior tooth of the first group.

Abstract: A saw blade includes a blade backer with a pair of side surfaces that extend substantially parallel to each other. An intermediate surface extends between the pair of side surfaces of the blade backer. A plurality of teeth extends from the intermediate surface. The plurality of teeth includes an asymmetrically ground tooth tip having a first rake face angle and a symmetrically ground tooth tip having a different, second rake face angle.

Abstract: A saw blade comprises a blade backer with a pair of side surfaces that extend substantially parallel to each other. An intermediate surface extends between the pair of side surfaces of the blade backer. A plurality of teeth extends from the intermediate surface. At least one of the teeth is located entirely within planes containing the side surfaces of the blade backer. A tip is formed at an apex end portion of the one tooth. A leading face surface of the tip on the one tooth is disposed at an acute angle relative to a plane extending perpendicular to the planes containing the side surfaces of the blade backer.
