A device and method for grinding and/or milling teeth of saw bands where a feed device for the clocked feeding of a temporary workpiece is formed from a plurality of mutually parallel saw bands includes a clamping unit into which the temporary workpiece is clamped, and a machining unit with at least one machining tool for simultaneous machining of a plurality of teeth of the temporary workpiece is individually modifiable and with which these types of teeth of saw bands can be efficiently and economically manufactured. The clamping unit is displaceable together with the feed device along a feed direction.

Systems and methods for milling saw blade tooth profiles and saw blades with milled tooth profiles are disclosed herein. The systems include blade milling systems that include a milling head, a blade support structure, a blade advance structure, and a control system. The methods include supporting a saw blade, advancing the saw blade, and machining a finished tooth profile in a working portion of the saw blade with an end mill. In some embodiments, the machining may include operatively translating the end mill relative to the saw blade with a milling head and within a plane that is at least substantially perpendicular to an end mill rotational axis. In some embodiments, the machining may include dry-machining the finished tooth profile in the working portion of the saw blade in a single pass. The saw blades include a plurality of teeth and may include at least one relief region.

A milling cutter includes a milling drum having a body with a first end, a second end, an outer surface extending around a circumference of the body between the first and second ends, and a slot formed in the outer surface. The milling cutter also includes a cutting insert positioned at least partially within the slot and removably secured to the body. The cutting insert includes a cutting profile defined by rounded peaks and pointed valleys to cut a tooth form into a saw blade.

A saw blade has at least one carrier part that has at least one cutting side. The saw blade further has a multiplicity of inserts arranged so as to be spaced apart from one another. The inserts are made from a material, in particular a carbide, which is harder than a material of the carrier part. The inserts are each fastened to the at least one cutting side of the carrier part. The inserts each at least partially form at least two saw teeth.

A method of manufacturing a saw blade. The method includes providing a body having a plurality of cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth includes a cutting tip, a rake face extending from the cutting tip, and a relief face extending from the cutting tip opposite the rake face. The body is made of a first material. The method further includes coupling a cutting insert to the cutting tip of each cutting tooth. The cutting insert defines a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to at least a portion of the rake face. The cutting insert is made of a second material that is different than the first material. Moreover, the method includes grinding the cutting insert to a desired shape.
