A recip blade has a cutting edge defining a cutting direction and a repeating pattern of cutting teeth. Each repeating pattern includes (i) a leading tooth with respect to the cutting direction that includes a rake face defining a first rake angle that is negative, and (ii) a trailing tooth following the leading tooth with respect to the cutting direction that includes a rake face defining a second rake angle that is greater than the first rake angle.

A saw blade has an elongated body with a first and second end, a cutting edge and an opposing back edge. A plurality of teeth is formed on the cutting edge. The first tooth of the plurality of teeth is immediately adjacent the second end of the blade. The first tooth is raker tooth and has a rake face and a clearance face. The rake face and clearance face intersect to form a cutting edge of the first tooth. The second end defines a plunging nose. The second end includes a nose end surface that extends between the cutting edge and the back edge. The nose end surface is on an angle of about 35 with respect to a line defined by tips of the plurality of teeth. The nose end surface intersects the first tooth relief surface to form an angled cutting edge with a leading sharp point.

A saw blade for an electric saw tool with a drive shaft making a reciprocating arcuate swing motion, the saw blade comprising a saw plate which has centrally a coupling part for connecting and fixing the saw plate to the drive shaft of the saw tool and has an appearance as being elliptic, and has cutting teeth on the outer periphery. Also, a saw blade for an electric saw tool with a drive shaft making a reciprocating arcuate swing motion, the saw blade having at one end a coupling part for connecting and fixing the saw blade to the drive shaft of the saw tool and having at the other end cutting teeth of the saw blade, and height of the cutting teeth being smaller in the order from near to at both ends of a line of the teeth.

A recip blade has a cutting edge defining a cutting direction and a repeating pattern of cutting teeth. Each repeating pattern includes (i) a leading tooth with respect to the cutting direction that includes a rake face defining a first rake angle that is negative, and (ii) a trailing tooth following the leading tooth with respect to the cutting direction that includes a rake face defining a second rake angle that is greater than the first rake angle.

A saw blade includes a cutting portion having consecutive first, second, and third cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth includes a rake surface, a relief surface, and a tip. The first cutting tooth includes a protrusion extending from the relief surface of the first cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first gullet positioned between the first cutting tooth and the second cutting tooth and a second gullet sized differently than the first gullet positioned between the second cutting tooth and the third cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first pitch extending over the first gullet from the tip of the first cutting tooth to the tip of the second cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a second pitch different than the first pitch extending over the second gullet from the tip of the second cutting tooth to the tip of the third cutting tooth.

A band saw blade includes a generally planar blade backer having generally parallel right and left sides opposite each other. The blade also includes a plurality of consecutive sets of teeth disposed on a top edge of the blade backer. Each set includes a first straight tooth, a second set tooth, following the first straight tooth and being one of left-set or right-set, a third set tooth, following the second set tooth and being the other of left-set or right set, a fourth set tooth, following the third set tooth and being set in the same direction as the second set tooth, and a fifth set tooth, following the fourth set tooth and being set in the same direction as the third set tooth.

The first cutting tooth includes a protrusion extending from the relief surface of the first cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first gullet positioned between the first cutting tooth and the second cutting tooth and a second gullet sized differently than the first gullet positioned between the second cutting tooth and the third cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a first pitch extending over the first gullet from the tip of the first cutting tooth to the tip of the second cutting tooth. The cutting portion includes a second pitch different than the first pitch extending over the second gullet from the tip of the second cutting tooth to the tip of the third cutting tooth.

A reciprocating saw blade for use with a reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw blade includes a body defining a longitudinal axis, and a cutting portion formed on the body. The cutting portion includes a plurality of cutting teeth, each cutting tooth including a tip and a protrusion, each tip spaced a separation distance from a corresponding protrusion in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A protrusion of a first cutting tooth is spaced a gap distance from a tip of an adjacent second cutting tooth in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. A ratio of the separation distance to the gap distance is at least 0.4 and no greater than 0.5.

The present invention relates to a novel cutting apparatus capable of effectively cutting a material via movement in at least two different directions. In certain embodiments, the cutting apparatus comprises cutting elements with at least two cutting surfaces. Such cutting elements are capable of effectively penetrating a material when moved with an applied force in the direction that at least one cutting surface is oriented. Such cutting elements may be configured for use with a variety of cutting apparatus, including but not limited to chainsaws.
