Abstract
A method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade provided at the top of the teeth with cutting tips made of a hard material, includes the steps of: offsetting to the left and right saw teeth constituting left and right offset teeth; forming the saw teeth constituting the left and right offset teeth to a smaller tooth height than that of the saw teeth constituting straight teeth; and grinding cutting tips provided to the top of the left and right offset teeth subsequent to the offsetting step, and machining the edge lines at the top of the left and right offset teeth so that the lines are orthogonal to the travel direction of a bandsaw blade and the cutting direction of the bandsaw blade.
Claims7
A method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade including a cutting tip made of a hard material at a tooth end, the method comprising:
- (a) a step of performing a process of offsetting saw teeth constituting right and left offset teeth toward right and left;
- (b) a step of forming saw teeth constituting right and left offset teeth with a smaller tooth-height dimension than a saw tooth constituting a straight tooth;
- and
- (c) a step of performing a grinding process on a cutting tip provided at each end of right and left offset teeth subsequent to the teeth offsetting process to machine a tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth in a perpendicular form to a traveling direction of a bandsaw blade and a cutting direction of the bandsaw blade.
A method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade including a cutting tip made of a hard material at a tooth end, the method comprising:
- (a) a step of performing a process of offsetting saw teeth constituting right and left offset teeth toward right and left;
- (b) a step of performing a grinding process on a relief face of a cutting tip provided at each end of right and left offset teeth subsequent to the teeth offsetting process, wherein a tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth is machined so as to be a perpendicular form to a cutting direction of a bandsaw blade after a subsequent step of grinding a rake face;
- and
- (c) a step of performing a grinding process on a rake face of the cutting tip after the step of performing a grinding process on a relief face of the cutting tip, wherein the tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth is machined in a perpendicular form to a traveling direction and the cutting direction of the bandsaw blade;
- wherein
- on the tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth, a tooth-height dimension is made smaller than that of a saw tooth constituting a straight tooth when the grinding process is performed on the relief face of the cutting tip provided at each end of the right and left offset teeth having undergone the teeth offsetting process or when the grinding process is performed on the rake face of the cutting tip provided at each end of the right and left offset teeth having undergone the teeth offsetting process.
A method for manufacturing a bandsaw blade including a cutting tip made of a hard material at a tooth end, the method comprising:
- (a) a step of performing a process of offsetting saw teeth constituting right and left offset teeth toward right and left;
- (b) a step of performing a grinding process on a rake face of a cutting tip provided at each end of right and left offset teeth subsequent to the teeth offsetting process, wherein a tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth is machined so as to be a perpendicular form to a traveling direction of a bandsaw blade after a subsequent step of grinding a relief face;
- and
- (c) a step of performing a grinding process on a relief face of the cutting tip after the step of performing a grinding process on a rake face of the cutting tip, wherein the tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth is machined in a perpendicular form to a cutting direction and the traveling direction of the bandsaw blade;
- wherein
- on the tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth, a tooth-height dimension is made smaller than that of a saw tooth constituting a straight tooth when the grinding process is performed on the relief face of the cutting tip provided at each end of the right and left offset teeth having undergone the teeth offsetting process or when the grinding process is performed on the rake face of the cutting tip provided at each end of the right and left offset teeth having undergone the teeth offsetting process.
A bandsaw blade, comprising:
- right and left offset teeth;
- and
- a straight tooth;
- wherein
- the bandsaw blade further comprises a cutting tip made of a hard material at each end of the teeth;
- a tooth-height dimension of the straight tooth is provided to be larger than a tooth-height dimension of the right and left offset teeth;
- and
- a tooth-end edge line of each of the right and left offset teeth is formed perpendicular to a traveling direction of the bandsaw blade and a cutting direction of the bandsaw blade.
