Cutter tooth for a saw chain

A cutter tooth for a saw chain, the cutter tooth comprising:

• a base member;
• a hardmetal cutting element attached to the base member;
• the base member comprising an upper edge and a lower base area;
• the base member comprising rivet openings formed in the lower base area, wherein the rivet openings are sequentially arranged in a running direction of the cutter tooth and form a forward rivet opening and a rear rivet opening;
• the base member comprising a depth limiter arranged in front of the hardmetal cutting element in the running direction;
• the hardmetal cutting element comprising a roof section with a roof cutting edge and further comprising a lateral section with a lateral cutting edge, wherein the lateral section is resting on a lateral surface of the base member and the roof section is arranged in a depression provided in the upper edge of the base member;
• the base member comprising a chip recess arranged between the depression and the depth limiter to discharge chips produced by cutting;
• the hardmetal cutting element projecting into the chip recess in the running direction;
• in a side view of the base member, a forward contour of the lateral section of the hardmetal cutting element and an inner contour of the chip recess defining a corner point located within the chip recess;
• the hardmetal cutting element fastened to the base member by material fusion by a thermal connecting method;
• the forward rivet opening comprising a first center axis and the rear rivet opening comprising a second center axis, wherein the first and second center axes are positioned at a rivet spacing relative to each other;
• the rivet spacing divided centrally by a center plane that is perpendicular to the rivet spacing;
• the depth limiter comprising an upright edge that is in front of the first center axis of the forward rivet opening positioned in the running direction and that delimits the chip recess;
• the corner point positioned at a first spacing relative to the upright edge of the depth limiter;
• the center plane positioned at a second spacing relative to the upright edge of the depth limiter, wherein the first spacing is smaller than the second spacing.
