Abstract
Tool cores may have removable sections, which may be removable without damaging, cutting or severing attachment configurations for the removable sections. The removable sections may be handled simultaneously. Moving parts used to facilitate removal of the removable sections may be secured in a pre-loaded configuration.

A core for a tool, the core comprising a support portion so that the core can be supported by a machine for operating the tool, at least first and second layers extending from the support portion to respective first and second outer portions, and a movable element extending between the first and second layers and configured to be movable between the first and second layers, wherein the movable element includes an engagement portion having a geometry configured to receive a second element in a first direction to engage the second element with the movable element and wherein movement of the movable element in a second direction different from the first direction will move the second element in the second direction.
A core for a circular cutting blade, the core comprising first and second layers and a support portion at a center of the first and second layers and a movable element extending between the first and second layers and configured to be movable between the first and second layers, wherein the movable element includes a planar distal portion having at least one wall defining at least one geometry configured to allow insertion laterally of the geometry into a complimentary opening in an engagement element for being positioned on the at least one geometry and configured such that when the engagement element is positioned on the at least one geometry, movement of the movable element between the first and second layers moves the engagement element with the movable element.
A core for a circular cutting blade, the core comprising first and second layers secured together to provide a plurality of gaps between the first and second layers, a support portion at a center of the first and second layers and wherein the first and second layers extend outwardly from the support portion to respective first and second outer portions, and a plurality of movable elements extending in respective gaps between the first and second layers, wherein each movable element includes a first proximal engagement portion having a wall defining an opening for receiving laterally a complementary connection element into the opening, and wherein each movable element includes a distal engagement portion having at least first and second geometric bodies extending at least partly distally of the movable element and at angles to each other for coupling to a cutting portion of the circular cutting blade.
