Abstract
A method of manufacturing a saw blade. The method includes providing a body having a plurality of cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth includes a cutting tip, a rake face extending from the cutting tip, and a relief face extending from the cutting tip opposite the rake face. The body is made of a first material. The method further includes coupling a cutting insert to the cutting tip of each cutting tooth. The cutting insert defines a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to at least a portion of the rake face. The cutting insert is made of a second material that is different than the first material. Moreover, the method includes grinding the cutting insert to a desired shape.

A method of manufacturing a saw blade, the method comprising:
- providing a body including a plurality of cutting teeth, each cutting tooth including a cutting tip, a rake face extending from the cutting tip, and a relief face extending from the cutting tip opposite the rake face, the body made of a first material;
- coupling a cutting insert to the cutting tip of each cutting tooth, the cutting insert defining a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to at least a portion of the rake face, the cutting insert made of a second material that is different than the first material;
- and
- grinding the cutting insert to a desired shape.
A method of manufacturing a saw blade, the method comprising:
- providing a body including a plurality of cutting teeth, each cutting tooth including a cutting tip, a rake face extending from the cutting tip, and a relief face extending from the cutting tip opposite the rake face, the cutting tip of each cutting tooth including a pocket having a surface extending from the rake face;
- coupling a cylindrical cutting insert to the pocket of each cutting tooth such that an end face of the cylindrical cutting insert abuts the surface of the pocket;
- and
- grinding the cylindrical cutting insert to a desired shape.
