Saw blades and methods of machining saw blade tooth profiles of saw blades
Abstract:
Saw blades and methods of machining saw blade tooth profiles of saw blades. The saw blades include a blade body and a plurality of teeth defined by the blade body. Each tooth includes a tooth back, a tooth tip, a tooth face, and a tooth gullet. In at least one tooth, a relief region extends toward the tooth back and separates the tooth face from the tooth gullet. The methods include supporting the saw blade with a blade support structure and advancing the saw blade with a blade advance structure. The methods also include dry-machining a finished tooth profile in a working portion of the saw blade in a single pass. The dry-machining includes dry-machining with an end mill by operatively translating the end mill relative to the saw blade and within a plane that is at least substantially perpendicular to an end mill rotational axis of the end mill.
