US 2013/0174701 A1 · Double-Sided Reciprocating Saw Blade and Related Method

Abstract

A reciprocating saw blade has a blade body defining first end and second ends. A first cutting edge is located on one side of the blade body, and a second cutting edge is located on an opposite side of the blade body thereof. A first tang is located at one end of the blade body and defines a first acute cutting angle of the first cutting edge. A second tang may be located at another end of the blade body and defines a second acute cutting angle of the second cutting edge. The first and second tangs are alternately and releasably engageable by the chuck of the reciprocating saw. At least one cutting edge may be defined by a plurality of groups of cutting elements. Each group of cutting elements is oriented at a respective acute cutting angle relative to a tang edge that defines an effective cutting angle for that group of cutting elements.

Dependent claims

A reciprocating saw blade for use in a reciprocating saw having only one chuck that releasably engages one end of the reciprocating saw blade and thereby defines a free end at the other end of the saw blade that is driven by the reciprocating saw in a reciprocating motion, the reciprocating saw blade comprising:

a blade body defining a first end and a second end;
a tang located on at least one of the first end and second end;
a first cutting edge located on one side of the blade body and a second cutting edge located on an opposite side of the blade body, wherein the first cutting edge defines a first cutting direction and is angled inwardly toward the first cutting direction and away from an elongated axis of the blade or an elongated edge of the tang at a first acute cutting angle, and the second cutting edge defines a second cutting direction that is substantially opposite the first cutting direction and is angled inwardly toward the second cutting direction and away from said elongated axis of the blade or an elongated edge of the tang at a second acute cutting angle.

a blade body defining a first end and a second end;
a tang located on at least one end of the blade body;
first means for cutting located on one side of the blade body and second means for cutting located on an opposite side of the blade body, wherein the first means defines a first cutting direction and is angled inwardly toward the first cutting direction and away from an elongated axis of the blade or an elongated edge of the tang at a first acute cutting angle, and the second means defines a second cutting direction that is substantially opposite the first cutting direction and is angled inwardly toward the second cutting direction and away from said elongated axis of the blade or an elongated edge of the tang at a second acute cutting angle.
