Abstract: During the manufacture of a bandsaw blade, a rotary hone forms, in a clearance side of each tooth, a narrow flat land. A leading edge of the land defines a sharp cutting edge. The land has a width no longer than ten percent of the pitch distance of the teeth.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade includes a strip and teeth projecting therefrom, which teeth are arranged in recurring main groups. Each main group comprises recurring geometrical subgroups and recurring setting subgroups. Each geometrical subgroup comprises teeth of at least two different heights, high and low respectively, and comprises an even number of teeth. Each setting subgroup comprises teeth of at least five types, normal left set, medium left set, unset, medium right set and normal right set respectively, and comprises six teeth.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade for sawing of metal where each tooth has a narrow flat land (12) without clearance angle and a sharp cutting edge (14) in front, manufactured by moving the blade longitudinally with the tips of the teeth in contact with one or more slowly rotating hones (11) before possible setting and before joining to loops, thus providing less risk of tooth damage, less cutting force and greatly reduced noise. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade with teeth.

Abstract: A metalcutting tool, such as a band saw blade, is formed by providing a body having at least one tooth, the tooth including a cutting tip having a rake face, a clearance face intersecting the rake face to form a main cutting edge therewith, and a pair of side faces intersecting the rake face to form respective side cutting edges therewith. The main cutting edge and the side cutting edges are subjected to an abrasive rounding operation, and the side cutting edges are thereafter ground to remove any roundness produced therein during the rounding operation.

Abstract: A metal saw for making long cuts through thick soft metals such as aluminum, copper or stainless steel, where friction, cutting force and scarring of the cut sides are minimized at a low production cost by grinding all teeth with a top edge inclined right or left 5 to 10 degrees, followed by setting some but not all teeth at a setting angle sized so that the top edges of the set teeth extend substantially at a right angle to a center plane of the body of the saw.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade includes recurring identical groups of teeth. Each tooth group consists of two to six teeth. Each group is spaced from leading and trailing groups by first and second respective distances. The first and second distances being different from one another.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade includes recurring groups of cutting tooth structures which are of progressively shorter height from a leading tooth structure to a trailing tooth structure. Each of the tooth structures is either: (A) a single, straight tooth, or (B) a pair of equal-height set teeth which are set to respective sides of the blade. The leading tooth structure consists of a single straight tooth having relatively large chamfers. The last tooth structure consists of a pair of non-chamfered set teeth. The next-to-last tooth structure is either a straight, chamfered tooth or a pair of chamfered, set teeth.

Abstract: A saw blade is provided with recurring groups of teeth. Each group of teeth includes one straight tooth, an even number of high set teeth, and an even number of low set teeth. Distances from all of the teeth in the group to a corresponding, immediately preceding teeth are different for all of the teeth. Distances from all of the teeth in the group to a preceding tooth of the same height are different for each tooth. Distances from all of the set teeth in the group to the nearest preceding set tooth with the same set are different for each set tooth. No high teeth are immediately adjacent.

Abstract: Saw blade for sawing metal, the saw blade having straight teeth as well as set teeth. The straight teeth extend higher than the set teeth and are chamfered on both sides such that the chamfers extend below the top edges of the set teeth. The set teeth have, on their outer side corners only, either no chamfer or a small chamfer.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade comprises a plurality of cutting teeth spaced longitudinally apart by gullets. Each tooth includes a steel portion and a carbide tip brazed to a front face of the steel portion. The deepest point of the gullet lies on a curved section having a relatively large radius of curvature, and is spaced longitudinally forwardly of the trailing carbide tip by a relatively large distance. Transversely spaced corners of the gullet bottom are made smoothly rounded by a shot-peening operation.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade including a continuous loop of hardened tempered bandsaw steel having carbide-tipped teeth arranged in pairs, each pair including a "high" tooth and a "low" tooth shaped to provide triple-chip cutting action and ground to provide radial and tangential relief angles on side surfaces of each saw tooth to reduce blade vibration during cutting. The teeth are secured to the blade body by brazing with a solder which includes a discrete layer of a ductile metal which absorbs forces induced in the brazing zone under dynamic load conditions.
