  • Patent number: 10981240
    Abstract: A saw tooth for a saw including a square saw tooth body to be mounted on a holder and for receiving inserts fastened to inwardly sloping seating surfaces on the cutting end of the tooth body. The inserts are provided with cutting edges. Between seating surfaces, the cutting end of the tooth body defines recesses for receiving intermediate members fastened therein. The intermediate members are provided with cutting edges, and the intermediate members abut the adjoining inserts to form a cutting surface about the periphery of the cutting end of the saw tooth and help protect the saw tooth body from damage including washout.

  • Patent number: 9216461
    Abstract: A cutting body for a metal-working machine tool includes a cutting portion extending from a body portion. The body portion is configured to fine-tune the position of the cutting portion. The body portion includes an inner sub-portion and an outer sub-portion disposed between the inner sub-portion and the cutting portion. The outer sub-portion includes adjacent first and second sections. The first section is configured to elastically bend, extends between the inner sub-portion and the cutting portion, and comprises a face adjacent the second section. The second section includes a biasing surface and a biasing sub-portion configured to hold a biasing member. When the biasing sub-portion is moved due to biasing of the biasing member against the biasing surface, the first section is configured to bend and thereby change position of the cutting portion extending therefrom and allow fine-tuning thereof.

  • Patent number: 8961079
    Abstract: The problem of penetrating through nets and other objects is solved by cutting the object using concentric cutters in which a rotatable cutter having floating teeth rotates concentrically about a stationary cutter having fixed teeth. The object is cut by a severing action caused by the floating teeth of the rotatable cutter sliding against the fixed teeth of the stationary cutter. Embodiments of the invention include a UUV system for penetrating through fishing nets and other objects, concentric cutting assemblies for use in the UUV system and other systems, and a method for penetrating through fishing nets and other objects. A UUV system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention has a concentric cutting assembly at the forward end and a propulsor at the aft end. The concentric cutting assembly integrates seamlessly within the UUV housing and is deployed from the forward end of the UUV, enabling the UUV to quickly and efficiently penetrate through objects blocking its path.

  • Patent number: 8818257
    Abstract: A cutting apparatus configured to cut a sheet or a sheet bundle includes a cutting blade whose blade surface has a plurality of grooves. In the cutting apparatus, a scraping member enters the grooves provided on the blade surface to scrape off cutting scraps remaining after a cutting operation. Accordingly, the cutting apparatus can scrape off cutting scraps from the cutting blade even if the adhesive force of the cutting scraps is great.

  • Patent number: 8701536
    Abstract: A saw blade includes a circular core having a plurality of cutting elements along its periphery, and a central arbor hole. One or more offset gullets extend radially inward from the perimeter of the core. Each offset gullet includes a first opening in one side of the core and a second opening in the other side of the core. The first and second openings are adjacent but at least partially offset from one another, so that at least a portion of the offset gullet is not see-through.

  • Patent number: 8061396
    Abstract: A tooth for a circular saw or a mower drum that can be used to cut standing trees or brush and undergrowth. The tooth has four cutting edges arranged in a first pair of opposed cutting edges that are generally straight and a second pair of opposed cutting edges that are generally concave. The tooth is mounted in a holder in a first or second cutting position that orients a cutting edge of the first or second pair to physically contact and effect a cutting method to a cuttable material. In a first cutting method, a generally straight cutting edge contacts the material, resulting in a slicing action. In a second cutting method, a generally concave cutting edge contacts the material, resulting in a gouging action. Teeth in the circular saw or brush mower alternate between first and second cutting positions, allowing both cutting methods to be applied to cuttable material.

  • Publication number: 20030217632
    Abstract: A tool for machining workpieces, having a parent body which can be expanded at least zonally, having at least one geometrically defined cutting edge projecting beyond a circumferential surface of the tool, and having a setting device influencing the radial distance of the cutting edge from the center axis of the tool. The setting device has a setting element, and an adjusting device which sets the degree of bending of the setting element. The setting element is inserted into the parent body of the tool in such a way that, when the bending of the setting element is varied, the radial distance of the cutting edge is varied.

  • Patent number: 6598509
    Abstract: Disclosed are cutting blades for cutting tools and methods of making the blades. Such blades include tooth patterns with both set and non-set teeth. Each of the set teeth are set at an angle with respect to the jaw line of the blade, and each set tooth includes at least one surface feature that is effective to direct a portion of swarf that is produced via the cutting action of the blade into gullets of the blade such that less swarf overall is directed to the cutting surface of the objects being cut by the blade.

  • Patent number: 4436009
    Abstract: A saw unit, especially for wood machining, comprises two saw parts, the sawteeth alternately connected to one or the other saw part. The saw parts are mutually displaceable in the direction of tooth travel and/or in the direction of travel of the object being sawed to adjust the relative positions of the teeth. Thus, the cutting effect can be varied at both saw parts. Thus, the side-forces in the saw cut can be controlled in a desired way during sawing to enable the saw unit to be steered in a desired manner.

  • Patent number: 4018255
    Abstract: A tree saw for sawing trees beneath ground level. A saw blade is attached to the front end of a land vehicle which has furrow forming blades on the sides thereof. Movable cutting bits are pivotally attached to the saw blade longitudinal side edges and each bit has two cutting edges. One cutting edge contacts a tree during a forward stroke of the saw blade to cut the tree, and the other cutting edge contacts the tree on the reverse stroke to cut the tree. A hydraulic cylinder connected to the land vehicle moves the blade sideways to cut the tree while the vehicle moves forward and/or rearward.
