Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for setting saw teeth on a saw band (4), the arrangement having a base (1) through which the saw band can slide. The base has a receiving device (6) for receiving a saw tooth setting device (8). The saw tooth setting device (8) can set saw teeth in one direction. The receiving device (6) can receive the saw tooth setting device (8) on both sides of the saw band, so that the saw tooth setting device (8) received on one side can set the saw teeth in one direction and so that the saw tooth setting device (8) received on the opposite side can set saw teeth in the opposite direction. This means that although only a simple saw tooth setting device (8) arranged to be able to set saw teeth in one direction is used, the device for setting saw teeth can set them in both directions.

Abstract: A hand-operated swage device includes a first hand-operated actuator and a second hand operated actuator that, when actuated together, control the sequential operation of a clamping mechanism and a swaging mechanism of the hand-operated swage device. For example, the first actuator of the swage device is disposed on a first handle while the second actuator is disposed on a second handle of the swage device. To operate the hand-operated swage device, an operator grasps the first handle with one hand and grasps the second handle with his other hand to actuate both of the actuators in a substantially simultaneous manner. Actuation of both actuators controls sequential delivery of pressurized air to a first pneumatic device mechanically coupled to the clamping mechanism and to a second pneumatic device mechanically coupled to the swaging mechanism.

Abstract: A swage anvil includes a coupling portion that, when mated with a corresponding die of a swaging device, allows lateral positioning of the swage anvil (i.e., substantially parallel to a long axis of the saw blade) relative to the long axis of the saw blade. The swage anvil also includes a tooth contact face that substantially mirrors an angle of the back portion of each tooth of the saw blade. As such, after a manufacturer inserts the swage anvil into the swage device and laterally translates the swage anvil, the tooth contact face abuts the back portion of the saw blade tooth to support the tooth during a swaging procedure. With the aforementioned configuration of the swage anvil, translation of the swage anvil along a single axis provides support to the back portion of the saw blade tooth along two axes. As such, use of the swage anvil decreases the set-up time required in conventional swaging devices.
