What is disclosed is a blade core for attachment with an endless chain assembly. The blade core is a generally circular disc having two opposing faces and a width between the faces. The blade core has a circumferential groove extending inward from the circumference of the blade core such that the drive links, or the tang of the drive links, extends from the chain located on the circumference of the circular disc inward in said groove. Ideally the width of the groove is proximate to the width of the drive link such that friction between the sides of the groove and the drive link prevent the chain from rotating along the circumference of the circular disc when the blade core and endless chain assembly are rotating to cut a material. Ideally the base of tie-strap-tie strap and tie strap-cutter assembly is the same as width of the rail to restrict lateral movement.

The present disclosure pertains generally to cutting belts, in particular cutting belts having a cable. In certain aspects, this disclosure provides new cutting segments and cable arrangements for cutting belts. In some embodiments, the cutting belt has cable arrangements that resist rotation when under tension. Cutting belts having cable segments positioned radially outward of other cable segments, relative to the central opening of the cutting belt, around at least 60% of the length of the cutting belt, and cutting belts having cable segments with different twist directions are disclosed.

Blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade includes a blade body comprising a cutting edge disposed around a perimeter of the blade body. The blade includes a cutter pocket configured to receive a cutter, wherein the cutter pocket is attached to the blade body. The blade includes a cutter attached to the cutter pocket.

This process for manufacturing a closed loop of cutting wire comprises manufacturing a cutting wire comprising a central core extending continuously between two free ends. The central core having a tensile strength higher than 1400 MPa. The process includes welding the two free ends together to form the closed loop of cutting wire, in which: the manufacture of the cutting wire comprises making the central core from a material that is solid-state weldable. The welding is a solid-state welding operation comprising crushing, at a temperature below the melting point of the material of the central core, one of the free ends against the other of its free ends until the two ends have interpenetrated and formed a single uniform body of material.

The invention relates to a sawing tool (7) for forming a surface structure on a road surface, at least having: a shaft (6) and a plurality of diamond saw blades (1), wherein each diamond saw blade (1) has a disc-shaped core with a hole for placing on the shaft (6), and a segment (3) which is arranged on an outer circumference of the core, wherein the diamond saw blades (1) are arranged on the shaft (6) by way of the disc-shaped core. The invention provides for the segments (3) of adjacent diamond saw blades (1) to be in surface contact on a longitudinal side (13), wherein each segment (3) is formed from at least two layers (8.i; i=1 . . . 6) that adjoin one another in the axial direction and each extend in the radial and axial direction, wherein layers (8.i; i=1 . . . 6) of the segment that axially adjoin one another each have different wear resistances (VF, VF.sub.1, VF.sub.2) and the wear resistance (VF, VF.sub.1, VF.sub.2) of the layers (8.i; i=1 . . . 6) in the axial direction alternates over the entire segment (3), wherein a furrow is able to be formed in each case by two layers (8.i; i=1 . . . 6) that axially adjoin one another, in order to set a grip and a level of noise of the road surface, and layers (8.i; i=1 . . . 6) that axially adjoin one another of adjacent segments (3) have different wear resistances (VF, VF.sub.1, VF.sub.2) in order to form an alternating layer structure over the entire sawing tool (7).

Stone fabrication machine and movement system for granite and quartz. The industry has always faced three challenges. 1) Moving a material that is extremely heavy; possibly weighing up to 1200 lbs. 2) not damaging material when moving, processing and installing. 3) Safety. It is the Cut and Polish Complete Fabrication System that installed, with utilities, water, electric, and air are also installed, you can fabricate from start to finish. You provide a forklift and utilities and our fabrication system will do the rest. This is new way to fabricate in two ways using only one person: only moving the piece twice-once to lay on the tables and second loading for delivery. Currently pieces are moved 3 to 6 times averaging 4, meaning taking 2 to 3 fabricators. Utilities distributed throughout machine for cutting and a separate utility bar for operator. This machine becomes the hub of entire shop.

A cutting bead (13) for a saw rope (15) comprises a geometrically defined cutting portion (2) and tapers from the geometrically defined cutting portion (2) contrary to a sawing direction. With such cutting beads (13), a saw rope (15) is formed. In a method for manufacturing a saw rope (15), a cutting element (1) with a geometrically defined cutting portion (2) and an abrasive element (6) with a geometrically undefined cutting portion (14) or a neutral element (8) are joined. With the cutting element (1) and the abrasive element (6) or the neutral element (8), a cutting bead (13) is formed. The cutting bead (13) is joined onto the support rope (16).

Blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade includes a blade body and a cutting edge disposed around a perimeter of the blade body, wherein the cutting edge comprises a centerline and a width. The blade includes a plurality of cutter pockets attached to the blade body such that two or more of the plurality of cutter pockets are attached to the blade body at a different position across the width of the cutting edge relative to the centerline of the cutting edge.

A saw chain includes connecting links and drive links that are mutually connected by rivets in an articulated manner about rivet axes. The rivets project through at least one rivet opening of one connecting link and through a rivet opening of a drive link. At least one rivet has, on one end face thereof, a depression having a depression edge and a depression base surrounded by the depression edge. The distance of the depression edge from a central plane of the saw chain increases at an increasing radial distance from the rivet axis. The distance (e) of the base from the central plane does not increase at any point of the base at an increasing radial distance from the rivet axis. A greatest distance (a) of the base from the rivet axis corresponds to 50% to 100% of half the core diameter (d) of the rivet.

A method to make sawing beads by means of laser cladding is disclosed whereby metal matrix powder is molten by means of a laser beam on a rotating sleeve while diamonds are thrown in the molten metal pool. By carefully controlling the temperature of the molten metal pool at or above 1150 C. for less than 200 ms the internal graphitization of the diamonds can be limited. Although some of the diamonds in the sawing bead show internal graphitization it is demonstrated by the inventors that a sawing cord using the bead obtained by the method has an above standard sawing performance.
