Saw blade and saw blade tooth construction

摘要

The saw blade comprises a plate 4 with at least one tooth 2 and a tip 10. A tip pocket 12 is formed in the tooth with a continuously curved surface. The tip has a back face 14 which is shaped to match the continuously curved surface of the tip pocket. A joint joins the tip to the tooth and extends substantially the length of the tip pocket and the back face. The continuously curved surface may have a wave profile and a top face 18 of the tip may be coplanar with a peripheral face 22 of the tooth.
