Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for withdrawing slasher teeth from a slasher saw are provided. The apparatus has a handle, and a forked portion is connected to one end of the handle. A gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion. A floating shank positioner is positioned at least partially within the gap. At least one common hole is formed through the two prongs of the forked portion. When the slasher tooth is connected to the at least one common hole, pivoting of the handle removes the slasher tooth from the pocket of the saw.

An apparatus for withdrawing a slasher tooth from a pocket of a saw, the apparatus comprising:
- a handle;
- a forked portion connected to one end of the handle, wherein a gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion;
- a floating shank positioner positioned at least partially within the gap;
- and
- at least one common hole formed through the two prongs of the forked portion, wherein when the slasher tooth is connected to the at least one common hole, pivoting of the handle removes the slasher tooth from the pocket of the saw.
A system for withdrawing a slasher tooth from a pocket of a slasher saw, the system comprising:
- a slasher saw having a saw body with at least one slasher tooth positioned within at least one saw body pocket of the slasher saw;
- an apparatus for withdrawing the slasher tooth from the saw body pocket of the slasher saw, the apparatus having:
- a handle;
- a forked portion connected to one end of the handle, wherein a gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion;
- a floating shank positioner positioned at least partially within the gap;
- and
- at least one common hole formed through the two prongs of the forked portion;
- and
- at least one pin connectable between the slasher tooth and the prongs of the forked portion through the at least one common hole, wherein when the slasher tooth is connected to the prongs, pivoting of the handle removes the slasher tooth from the saw body pocket.
A method of withdrawing a slasher tooth from a pocket of a slasher saw, the system comprising:
- providing a slasher saw having a saw body with at least one slasher tooth positioned within at least one saw body pocket of the slasher saw;
- providing an apparatus for withdrawing the slasher tooth from the saw body pocket of the slasher saw, the apparatus having:
- a handle;
- a forked portion connected to one end of the handle, wherein a gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion;
- a floating shank positioner positioned at least partially within the gap;
- and
- at least one common hole formed through the two prongs of the forked portion;
- connecting at least one pin between the slasher tooth and the prongs of the forked portion;
- and
- pivoting of the handle relative to the slasher saw, thereby removing the slasher tooth from the saw body pocket.
