Description: |
| Abstract:
A high performance, moderate cost bandsaw blade has a unique tooth configuration which enables it to provide high performance, while using standard manufacturing processes and available bandsaw equipment. The bandsaw blade has a straight back edge and a repeating tooth pattern wherein each set tooth, of each repeating tooth pattern has a set which is a monotonically increasing function of the height of the tooth. The height of each tooth in the repeating tooth pattern increases from the first tooth of the pattern to the last tooth of the pattern. The height difference between the beginning and end of a tooth pattern is preferably on the order of ten to twenty-five thousandths of an inch, more preferably between fifteen and twenty thousandths of an inch, and the length of a repeating pattern is typically about six inches to match a standard cutter. |
