Abstract
A chuck for a circular saw includes a frusto-conical plate having a plurality of frusto-conical lobes which snugly engage scallops forming an outer diameter of a mounting aperture in a saw blade adapted to be mounted on a splined arbor. With the saw mounted on the chuck in this manner the concentricity of the outer diameter of the saw and the outer diameter of the mounting aperture is assured as the saw teeth are reground.
Claims3
A chuck for holding a saw blade during a regrinding operation wherein said saw blade includes a plurality of teeth and an aperture having an inner diameter and a plurality of substantially semicircular scallops forming an outer diameter for mounting said saw blade on a splined arbor, said chuck comprising a frusto-conical member having at least three semispherical tapered lobes for snugly engaging said saw blade through said aperture along said outer diameter by fitting tightly into at least three scallops of said aperture when said saw blade is pressed onto said chuck whereby the distance between the tip of each tooth of said blade and said outer diameter is evenly maintained during said regrinding operation to provide a substantially uniform chip load.
