A recip blade has a blade body including a cutting edge and a tang located at one end of the blade body. The tang defines an arcuate cross-sectional shape or is laminated to increase the overall thickness of the tang and, in turn, enhance the rigidity of the blade and/or reduce oscillation or whipping of the blade during cutting.

A saw blade for use with a reciprocating saw includes a body and an attachment portion extending from the body. The attachment portion includes a tang and an aperture configured to connect to the reciprocating saw. The saw blade also includes a cutting portion formed on the body. The cutting portion includes a plurality of cutting teeth and a floor guard tooth positioned adjacent at least one of the plurality of cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth has a tip that defines a plane. The floor guard tooth extends from the body beyond the plane. The attachment portion is offset from the plane to reduce interference of the reciprocating saw with a surface while performing a footer cut with the saw blade. The floor guard tooth contacts the surface while performing the footer cut to inhibit the plurality of cutting teeth from contacting the surface.

A reciprocating saw blade includes a body defining a longitudinal axis. The saw blade includes a cutting portion having a plurality of cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth includes a tip, a rake face at least partially defining a gullet, a relief surface, and a protrusion extending from an end of the relief surface. The protrusion of each cutting tooth inhibits a nail from entering the gullet. The tips of the plurality of cutting teeth define a first plane that is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and the protrusions of the plurality of cutting teeth define a second plane that is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. A distance between the first plane and the second plane is at most 0.035 inches, and a distance between the protrusion of one cutting tooth and the tip of an adjacent cutting tooth, measured generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, is 0.08 inches.

A reciprocating saw blade for a machine tool, in particular a jigsaw blade, includes a first row of saw teeth and a second row of saw teeth. The first and second rows of saw teeth are arranged at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating saw blade. The angle of the first row of saw teeth opposes the angle of the second row of saw teeth. The reciprocating saw blade also includes a further row of saw teeth arranged between the first and second rows of saw teeth. The further row of saw teeth is set back, in particular suddenly set back, towards the longitudinal axis in relation to the first and second rows of saw teeth.

A saw blade comprises a blade backer with a pair of side surfaces that extend substantially parallel to each other. An intermediate surface extends between the pair of side surfaces of the blade backer. A plurality of teeth extends from the intermediate surface. At least one of the teeth is located entirely within planes containing the side surfaces of the blade backer. A tip is formed at an apex end portion of the one tooth. A leading face surface of the tip on the one tooth is disposed at an acute angle relative to a plane extending perpendicular to the planes containing the side surfaces of the blade backer.

A saw blade includes a group A (group A1 [=straight tooth+the odd number of set teeth]+group A2 [=straight tooth+the even number of set teeth]) and a group B (group B1 [=straight tooth+the odd number of set teeth having opposite set-bending sides to those in the group A1]+group B2 [=straight tooth+the even number of set teeth having opposite set-bending sides to those in the group A2]). Wide and narrow set teeth are arranged so that a max/min ratio of the number of pitches between the narrow set teeth having identical set-bending side and set width is 1.8 or less, and a max/min ratio of the number of pitches between the wide set teeth having identical set-bending side set width is 2.7 or less.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a blade. In some embodiments, the blade is configured to produce 50% to 99.9% less residual dust than a comparative blade when the blade is used to cut at least one foam board, where the comparative blade is identical to the blade, except that the comparative blade does not comprise any notches. Methods of using and making the blade and systems that include the blade are also described.

The objects of the present invention are achieved in a hole saw for cooperation with an associated oscillating tool having an output shaft that sequentially moves clockwise and counterclockwise and the output shaft includes a 1st drive interface coupling to the driveshaft which includes a cylindrical body having an axis and 1st and 2nd axial extremities; a 2nd drive interface fixed to a 1st axial extremity of the cylindrical body. The 2nd drive interface is dimensioned and configured for coupling clockwise and counterclockwise rotational movement of the 1st drive interface to the 2nd drive interface whereby the cylindrical body sequentially rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. Each of a plurality of teeth extend from the 2nd axial extremity of the body. Each of the teeth have 1st and 2nd opposed sharpened edges.
