Abstract: Curved stock is formed from flat stock by cutting a side-by-side series of V-shaped grooves in the face of a piece of flat stock to be curved with a saw blade having triangular cutting teeth. The cut is made to a predetermined depth so that the opposed face of the stock may be curved such that the V-shaped grooves are closed flush or at least partially closed. The resultant outer opposed curved face is thereby left free of any unsightly or undesirable ridges.

Abstract: A band saw blade having relatively extended pitch patterns of eight of more teeth exhibits relatively low noise and vibration during cutting operations, and substantially uniform tooth loading characteristics. The band saw blade defines set patterns within each pitch pattern, and each set pattern is defined by an unset leading tooth followed by a plurality of offset trailing teeth. Each tooth within each set pattern defines a pitch between the respective tooth and the preceding tooth in the cutting direction of the saw blade, and an accumulated pitch between the respective tooth and the preceding tooth of like set direction in the cutting direction of the saw blade. The ratio of pitch to accumulated pitch for each tooth within each set pattern increases from one tooth to the next in the direction opposite the cutting direction of the saw blade for substantially uniformly distributing the chip load over the teeth of the saw blade.

Abstract: A circular saw is made with carbide-tipped teeth arranged in pairs to effect a so-called "triple-chip" cutting operation for thermoplastic materials. Both teeth of each operational pair have two negatively-raked cutting edges which slope toward each other at the outer extremity of the teeth to a transverse radially outermost cutting edge. The so-called "high" tooth of each pair has its transverse cutting edge radially offset a greater distance from the rotational axis of the saw than the corresponding transverse edge of each low tooth. The lateral negatively-raked cutting edges of each low tooth are laterally separated a greater distance than the corresponding sloping cutting edges of the high tooth. Saws of this character are specially useful for cutting plastic materials and particularly materials such as acrylics and vinyls.
