A method (100) of producing toothed blades from a strip material is disclosed. The method (100) comprises: laser cutting (102) the strip material to form a plurality of teeth in an edge of the strip material; and mechanically machining (104) the strip material to remove at least part of a heat-affected portion of the edge resulting from the laser cutting. A toothed blade production line (400; 500) arranged to produce toothed blades from a strip material is also disclosed.

A method for producing a cutting unit segment of a cutting unit of a machine tool separating device, includes at least one cutter support element and at least one cutter element. In at least one step, the cutter element is molded on the cutter support element by a drawing process in an at least partially staggered manner relative to an outer surface of the cutter support element.

A method of manufacturing a reciprocating saw blade includes forming a body with a shank end configured to secure the blade with a reciprocating saw, a plunging end configured to enter a workpiece, and a cutting edge and opposite back edge extending between the shank end and the plunging end. The cutting edge is formed to include a plurality of teeth arranged in a repeating pattern that includes left set teeth and right set teeth, the plurality of additional teeth being substantially the same size as each other and as the third tooth, wherein the plurality of additional gullets are substantially the same size as each other, and wherein the enlarged first gullet is longer in an axial direction than each of the plurality of additional gullets.

A method and apparatus for refurbishing an oscillating multi-tool blade (10) having a serrated forward end. The blade (10) is clamped to a support surface, a new serrated end is formed by cutting away an edge portion of the serrated end, the blade (10) is moved across a cutting direction so far as tips of teeth (12) of the new serrated end will be cut away during a following renewed cut, and the renewed cut is performed.
