Saw Blade

A S-MP-SB3-ML393 Saw Blade is a circular disc with a toothed edge, used to cut various materials. Here’s a detailed description:

Description:

• Shape: Flattened disc with a hole in the center for mounting on a power saw.
• Size: Diameters vary depending on the application, typically ranging from a few inches to several feet.
• Material: Typically made from high-strength steel, alloyed for specific properties like hardness, flexibility, and heat resistance.
• Teeth: The key feature of a saw blade. They are varied in size, shape, number (teeth per inch – TPI), and configuration (number of teeth and grinding pattern) depending on the intended use. Generally, more teeth result in finer cuts, while fewer teeth result for faster, rougher cuts.

Applications:

Saw blades are used in various power saws for cutting a wide range of materials, including:

• Wood: Different blade types are designed for ripping (cutting along the grain), crosscutting (cutting across the grain), miter cuts (angled cuts), and specialty cuts like plywood or veneers.
• Metal: Metal-cutting blades are designed to handle the toughness of metals and come in various types depending on the specific metal being cut.
• Concrete: Diamond-tipped blades are used for cutting concrete, stone, and masonry due to the extreme hardness of these materials.
• Plastics: Certain blade types are designed for clean cuts in plastics.

How it Works:

The saw blade is mounted on a power saw arbor (shaft) and rotates at high speed. The teeth on the blade come into contact with the material being cut, and the sharp edges of the teeth remove small chips of material with each rotation. The blade’s feed rate (how fast the material is pushed into the blade) and the number of teeth (TPI) determine the cut quality. A slower feed rate and higher TPI result in a finer cut with minimal material removal per tooth. Conversely, a faster feed rate and lower TPI result in a faster cut with more material removed per tooth, but with a rougher finish.

Components:

• Body: The flat disc-shaped base of the blade.
• Arbor Hole: The center hole for mounting the blade on the saw arbor.
• Teeth: The pointed protrusions along the edge of the blade that perform the cutting.
• Gullets: The spaces between the teeth that allow for chip removal and lubrication.
• Shank: (on some blades) A central hub that extends beyond the body of the blade and provides additional strength and stability for mounting on the arbor.

Additional Points:

• Saw blades come in different thicknesses depending on the application. Thicker blades offer more stability for straight cuts, while thinner blades are better for curved cuts.
• Safety is paramount when using saw blades. Always wear proper eye protection, and gloves, and ensure the blade is securely mounted before starting the saw.
