Abstract: The present invention provides a saw blade for use in a jig saw mechanism in which a drive member is caused to reciprocate axially and to reciprocate a saw blade carried by one end only thereof on said drive member, which saw blade comprises:a. an axially elongated generally rod-like blade member having a grit edge cutting surface thereto, one end of said blade member being secured into a blade mounting member;b. a blade mounting member comprising an axial socket into which the end of the blade member is secured; andc. a securing member extending axially from the said mounting member and adapted to be secured to the reciprocating drive member of a jig saw mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for brazing refractory particles, notably tungsten carbide grits, onto a substrate such as a tool blank to provide an armor coating or a cutting edge thereon, which process comprises applying to the substrate a brazing material, a particulate refractory material to be brazed onto the substrate and a binder composition; and connecting the substrate to a source of an electric current to cause the current to flow through the substrate whereby the substrate is heated to sufficient temperature to cause the brazing material to fuse. The invention also provides apparatus for carrying out the invention.
