MECH 200 1st Edition Lecture 8Saw Blade Types• Buttess• Claw Hook • Carbide Tipped – the carbide cutting portion is braised on above 800 deg F• Skip Tooth – Makes room for the swarthe/chips• Hook Tooth – Best for wood and meatBlade Terminology1. Set – Pattern of Bladed Teetha. Raker (removes swarthe)b. Straight2. Kerf – width of set (Wider than blade)3. Pitch – Teeth/incha. There are variable pitch blades which have multiple pitches in one blade4. Friction Cutting – a blade with no teeth is used5. Gang Sawing – Multiple saws built into one assembly6.
