SAW BLADE WITH SINGLE LEVEL AND MULTIPLE LEVEL SET PATTERNS WITHIN PITCH PATTERNS, AND RELATED METHOD

摘要

A band saw blade has a plurality of teeth defining a pitch pattern and first and second set patterns within each pitch pattern. The first set pattern includes a plurality of offset teeth that are each offset at approximately the same set magnitude as every other set tooth within the first set pattern. The second set pattern includes a plurality of first offset teeth that are each offset at approximately a first set magnitude, and a plurality of second set teeth that are each offset at approximately a second set magnitude that is greater than the first set magnitude.
