Saw blade and system and method for manufacturing a saw blade

A saw blade comprising:

• a body having a thickness;
• a first cutting tooth formed on the body and including a tip defining a plane that extends parallel to the thickness of the body, the first cutting tooth set in a first direction relative to the body;
• and
• a second cutting tooth formed on the body and including a tip defining a plane that extends parallel to the thickness of the body, the second cutting tooth set in a second direction relative to the body that is opposite the first direction;
• wherein the planes defined by the tips of the first and second cutting teeth are generally coplanar.

A saw blade comprising:

• a body having a thickness;
• an attachment portion formed on the body, the attachment portion configured to connect the saw blade to a power tool;
• and
• a plurality of cutting teeth formed on the body, the plurality of cutting teeth including
• a first cutting tooth having a first tip defining a first plane that extends along the thickness of the body, a first rake face extending from the first tip, and a first relief face extending from the first tip opposite the first rake face, the first cutting tooth being set in a first direction relative to the body,
• a second cutting tooth including a second tip defining a second plane that extends along the thickness of the body, a second rake face extending from the second tip, and a second relief face extending from the second tip opposite the second rake face, the second cutting tooth being set in a second direction opposite the first direction relative to the body, and
• a third cutting tooth including a third tip defining a third plane that extends along the thickness of the body, a third rake face extending from the third tip, and a third relief face extending from the third tip opposite the third rake face, the third cutting tooth being unset relative to the body,
• wherein the first cutting tooth, the second cutting tooth, and the third cutting tooth are generally the same shape and size, and wherein the first plane, the second plane, and the third plane are parallel.
