Abstract
Apparatus and method for the cooling of a rotating cutting blade in a portable circular saw used to cut concrete. A pair of pipes are mounted on opposite sides of the blade extending from a manifold mounted on the base plate. The pipes are provided with spaced openings facing the blade and water under pressure is pumped into the pipes through a hose connection to the manifold so that there is a continuous spray of water against the surfaces of the blade preventing overheating of the blade.
Claims3
In combination, a circular saw having a base plate, a rotatable cutting blade for sawing, and readily dismountable means for cooling said blade while in operation consisting of a readily removable manifold mounted on said base plate, a pair of readily removable pipes extending from said manifold along opposite sides of said blade, a plurality of spaced openings along each of said pipes located on the circumference of said pipes facing said cutting blade, and a hose connected into said manifold through a readily removable connecting pipe for supplying water under pressure into said pipes so as to cause a spray of said water on the surfaces of said blade while the latter is in operation.
The method of cooling a rotating cutting blade in a portable circular saw having a base plate comprising the steps of mounting a readily removable manifold on said base plate from which extend a pair of readily removable pipes on opposite sides of said blade, said pipes being provided with a plurality of spaced openings on the circumferences of said pipes facing the surfaces of said blade, and supplying water under pressure into said manifold through a readily removable hose connection into said manifold while said blade is rotating so that a steady spray of water is directed at both sides of said blade while in operation, said manifold and pipes being readily dismountable for storage.
