20110170965 | HOLE CUTTER WITH EXTRUDED CAP - A hole cutter having an extruded plate cap and methods and apparatuses for making such caps and hole cutters. The plate cap has planar opposing external and internal surfaces with an extruded hub extending axially inwardly from the internal surface. An aperture extends axially through the hub from the external surface. At least a portion of the aperture can be threaded for threaded engagement with a driving arbor. The hub is long enough so that the threaded portion contains at least two full threads. A blade body with a cutting edge is attached to the cap to form a hole cutter. | 07-14-2011 |
20110170970 | Hole Cutter With Minimum Tooth Pitch to Blade Body Thickness Ratio - A hole cutter for cutting a work piece, such as a wood and/or metal work piece, has a substantially cylindrical blade body defining a wall thickness within the range of about 0.032 inch to about 0.038 inch, and a cutting edge formed on one end of the blade body including a plurality of teeth defining an average tooth pitch within the range of about 3.5 TPI to about 5.5 TPI for cutting the work piece and forming chips therefrom. The substantially cylindrical blade body and cutting edge define an average tooth pitch to blade body thickness ratio of at least about 110. | 07-14-2011 |
20110271815 | SAW BLADE WITH ROBUST TOOTH FORM - A recip saw blade has a blade body and a cutting edge extending along the blade body and defined by a repeating pattern of two consecutive teeth. Each of the two consecutive teeth includes a primary clearance surface defining a relatively steep primary clearance angle, a secondary clearance surface defining a relatively shallow secondary clearance angle, a tip, a rake face located on the opposite side of the tip relative to the primary clearance surface, a gullet defining a depth, a first gullet radius located on an opposite side of the gullet relative to the rake face, and a second gullet radius located between the gullet and the rake face, wherein the depth of the gullet is greater than the second gullet radius. | 11-10-2011 |
20120000338 | SAW BLADE TOOTH FORM FOR ABUSIVE CUTTING APPLICATIONS - A recip saw blade has a blade body and a cutting edge extending along the blade body and defined by a repeating pattern of two consecutive teeth suitable for abusive cutting applications. The blade defines a relatively coarse tooth pitch. The two consecutive teeth, which may be bi-metal, include a high tooth and a relatively low tooth in comparison to the high tooth. Each high tooth and low tooth include a primary clearance surface defining a relatively shallow primary clearance angle that is about 28° or less, and a secondary clearance surface defining a relatively steep secondary clearance angle in comparison to the primary clearance angle. The primary clearance angle of the high tooth is steeper than the primary clearance angle of the low tooth, such as between about 23° and 28°, and the secondary clearance angle of the high tooth is shallower than the secondary clearance angle of the low tooth. | 01-05-2012 |

20140260880 | RECIPROCATING SAW BLADE WITH CURVED CUTTING EDGE - A reciprocating saw blade that includes an elongated blade body defining an inner end and a distal end, a cutting edge located on one side of the blade body and extending between the inner and distal ends thereof and a tang located at the inner end of the blade body. The tang projects from the blade body at an acute angle of at least about 3° relative to a line tangent to an inner end of the cutting edge. The cutting edge includes a portion defining a substantially curved contour and optionally can include at least one further portion defining a non-curved contour. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260882 | SAW BLADE WITH FEED LIMITER - A saw blade comprising cutting teeth, having at least one of chip-limiters protruding from the teeth or secondary teeth in the gullets of the cutting teeth configured to mitigate the blade from over-feeding. The chip limiters and/or secondary teeth provide that only a limited portion of an object that the saw blade encounters during cutting falls below the cutting tips of the cutting teeth. The chip limiters and/or secondary teeth also assist the cutting teeth in cutting. | 09-18-2014 |
20150016910 | HOLE CUTTER - A hole cutter has a substantially cylindrical blade body that defines an interior surface and an exterior surface that is located on an opposite side of the blade body relative to the interior surface. A cutting edge is located at one end of the blade body that generates swarf in cutting the work piece. A pattern is formed on the exterior and/or interior surfaces of the blade body. The pattern is configured to direct swarf generated at the cutting edge through the path and away from the cutting edge. | 01-15-2015 |
20150075013 | RECIP BLADE WITH RIB, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A recip blade includes a blade body, a tang, a distal end, a cutting edge, and a rib. The tang is located an end of the blade body. The distal end is located at an opposite end of the blade body relative to the tang. The cutting edge extends in a lengthwise direction at least substantially between the tang and the distal end. The rib extends along at least a portion of the blade body. The rib and the cutting edge are spaced from one another by a heightwise-extending distance. A method includes: (i) providing a recip blade including the blade body, the tang, the distal end, and the cutting edge; (ii) forming the rib by increasing a widthwise-extending thickness of the blade body at the rib in comparison to a widthwise-extending thickness of the blade body at an adjacent portion of the blade body. | 03-19-2015 |
