Abstract
A flat-sided annular blade for a blade ring saw for cutting hard material such as tile along straight paths and curved paths in which the workpiece is moved through the central portion of the blade. In addition to the usual sintered abrasive diamond coating on the outer peripheral portion of the blade, the inner peripheral portion preferably is tapered to a curved inner edge and also is coated with an abrasive, preferably an electroplated diamond coating providing smoother sawing operation and a finishing action on the workpiece.
Claims7
A blade ring saw blade for making straight and curved cuts in hard workpieces, having, in combination:
- a ring-shaped body having substantially flat sides and narrow inner and outer peripheral edges, and a portion of reduced thickness forming a rib extending outwardly from said outer peripheral edge around the body;
- a first abrasive coating thicker than said body extending around said outer peripheral edge on said rib and forming an outer peripheral cutting element for said blade for making the curved and straight cuts in the workpieces;
- and
- a second abrasive coating covering the flat sides and inner peripheral edge of the body to form an inner peripheral cutting element for finishing curved cuts in the workpieces and providing smoother action as well as for cutting reversely;
- said inner peripheral edge and said second coating thereon defining an open central portion of said blade permitting the workpieces to be turned relative to said blade to make the curved cuts.
