Segment plate for a saw blade and a saw blade with segment plates

摘要

A circular saw blade includes a disc portion whose peripheral portion comprises a series of straight sections. A segment plate which carries at least one replaceable cutting member is attached to each straight section. Each segment plate has a first slot for receiving the cutting member and a second slot for receiving a clamping wedge. A portion of the segment plate disposed between the slots defines a clamping area which is pushed tightly against the cutting member by the clamping wedge. Each segment plate has a projection received in a recess of the disc.
