TENSION COMPENSATING SLOTS IN CIRCULAR SAW BLADES

摘要

A circular saw blade is formed with a plurality of strain compensating slots which include a number of inner slots extended outwardly from a central bore of the blade and a number of outer slots which are substantially parallel to the inner slots and respectively spaced therefrom in the radial direction and circumferential direction. Each outer slot partially overlaps the nearest inner slot in the radial direction. Each slot has a spiral or circular end portion.
