Tipped saw blade

A tipped saw blade having a central axis of rotation, the tipped saw blade comprising:

• a disc-shaped base metal;
• and
• a plurality of circumferentially adjacent tips joined to and disposed about a radially outer periphery of the base metal, wherein:
• the plurality of tips includes a plurality of first tips, a plurality of second tips, and a plurality of third tips;
• each of the first tips includes a flat edge having a cutting edge oriented parallel to the central axis and positioned at a first radial distance from the central axis;
• each of the second tips includes a first beveled edge having a cutting edge inclined relative to the central axis;
• each of the third tips includes a second beveled edge having a cutting edge inclined relative to the central axis;
• a length of a portion of the cutting edge of the first beveled edge of each second tip positioned radially further away from the central axis than the cutting edge of each flat edge defines a first beveled cutting edge line length;
• a length of a portion of the cutting edge of the second beveled edge of each third tip positioned radially further away from the central axis than the cutting edge of each flat edge defines a second beveled cutting edge line length;
• a length of a portion of the cutting edge of each flat edge of each first tip positioned axially between the cutting edges of the first beveled edges and the cutting edges of the second beveled edges at the first radial distance from the central axis defines a first flat cutting edge line length;
• and
• a sum of the first beveled cutting edge line lengths and the second beveled cutting edge line lengths is less than or equal to two times a sum of the first flat cutting edge line lengths.

• the first beveled cutting edge line lengths, the second beveled cutting edge line lengths, and the first flat cutting edge line lengths satisfy the following relationship:
• A=[(((a sum of the first flat cutting edge line lengths)×2)+(a sum of the first beveled cutting edge line lengths)+(a sum of the second beveled cutting edge line lengths))/((a number of the first tips)+(a number of the second tips)+(a number of the third tips))];
• and
• A<[((a distance between outer edges of the cutting edge of the first beveled edge and the second beveled edge in an axial direction of the base metal)×0.2)+0.2].
