  • Publication number: 20100018515
    Abstract: A green concrete saw that allows for precise adjustment of a height of a circular saw blade is provided. The saw provides for the circular saw blade to be secured to a front end of a mainframe mounted on an undercarriage. A major height adjustment is performed by adjusting the height of the mainframe relative to the undercarriage. Further, the undercarriage supports wheels for the saw, and a fine height adjustment is performed by adjusting the height of a front end of the undercarriage relative to the ground through the use of an eccentric front axle.

  • Patent number: 7571720
    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.

  • Patent number: 7490599
    Abstract: The cutting apparatus of the present invention includes a frame with first and second side members that lie parallel to one another. It also includes two or more cross-members that connect the first and second side members together as well as a cantilever member that lies mounted to one of the other members and extends outwardly of that other member. A tray movably mounted on the frame holds an object for cutting; and a motor and blade assembly mounted to the cantilever member cuts the object. The method of forming this apparatus includes forming openings in the side members and inserting end portions of the cross-members into the opening to form a frame in which the cross-members are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the side members.

  • Patent number: 7302947
    Abstract: A cutting machine includes a cutting supporting frame, a cutting head arrangement and a motor air flow arrangement which includes a driving motor to drive a cutting blade to rotate, a motor case defining a motor cavity within an open end inlet end, an open outlet end and a circumferential wall, and an air intake hood sheltering around the motor case to define an air intake passage between the air intake hood and the motor, an air intake window communicating an air intake passage with the air intake hood, an air discharging slot communicating with the open outlet end, and a sidewall defining an air chamber between an inner side portion of the air intake hood and the open inlet end. When air is sucked through the air intake window, the air is detoured to enter into the motor cavity through the air intake passage and the air chamber to generate a circulated motion of air cycle in the air intake hook for enhancing a sucking effect of the driving motor.
