The saw blade is held between two firmly connected internal rings which are arranged on both sides of the saw blade and contain it, as well as being connected to each other. The rings are rotatably mounted within non-rotating external rings that are connected to the protective hood. The device that is formed by the saw blade, the internal rings and the external rings is fastened in a removable way to a drive hub that is powered by the gearbox.
