Abstract
A saw blade for a reciprocating saw, a reciprocating saw and blade, and a method for making a slotted cut of uniform spacing along a length of the cut are disclosed. A pair of blades, each at an off set from the reciprocating axis, the saw blades can make the slotted cut in a substrate with a single pass of the reciprocating saw. In some embodiments, the saw blade includes at least one blade is mounted to an adapter at an offset from a reciprocating axis of the reciprocating saw. The offset of the blades may be adjustable to obtain a slotted cut of a uniform width.

A saw blade assembly for a reciprocating saw, comprising:
- an adapter having two parallel planar surfaces with a proximal end and a distal end, having a first shoulder and a second shoulder formed adjacent to the proximal end, the first shoulder being a mirror image of the second shoulder,
- a coupling at the proximal end dimensioned to couple the adapter to a reciprocating shaft of the reciprocating saw;
- and
- a pair of saw blades operatively attached to the adapter in a desired lateral spacing from a reciprocating axis of the reciprocating shaft, the pair of saw blades configured for cutting a slot in a substrate, the slot having a width corresponding with the desired lateral spacing.
A reciprocating saw, comprising:
- a reciprocating shaft;
- an adapter removably coupled with the reciprocating shaft, the adapter having two parallel planar surfaces with a first shoulder and a second shoulder formed adjacent to an end proximal to the reciprocating shaft, the first shoulder being a mirror image of the second shoulder;
- and
- a pair of saw blades operatively attached to the adapter in a desired lateral spacing, the pair of saw blades configured for cutting a slot in a substrate, the slot having a width corresponding with desired lateral spacing.
