Saw Blade Having Compound Angled Tips

摘要

A saw blade is configured with groupings of teeth that include a raker tooth, a left set toot, and a right set tooth. During a manufacturing procedure, a manufacturer creates the cutting surfaces in each of the teeth following a setting process. For example, for each of the right and left set teeth, the manufacturer forms a lateral contact portion, a back portion, and a medial dress angle portion. Additionally, the manufacturer forms first and second side angle portions in each non-set tooth. In use, the tooth form pattern of teeth can provide a substantially smooth finish to a work piece.

1. A saw blade, comprising:
a saw blade body; at least one raker tooth carried by the saw blade body, the at least one raker tooth having a longitudinal axis that is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the saw blade body; at least one set tooth carried by the saw blade body, the at least one set tooth defining a set angle along a first direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the saw blade body; and a cutting element carried by the at least one set tooth, the cutting element defining a lateral contact portion having a contact face defining a face angle along a second direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the saw blade body, the second direction opposing the first direction; wherein the angle of the contact face is less than the set angle of the at least one set tooth.
