A miter saw has a base having a detent notch, a table rotatably connectable to the base, a pivoting assembly connected to the table, and a saw assembly supported by the pivoting assembly. The saw assembly has a blade movable downwardly for a cutting operation. A locking mechanism is disposed on the table. The locking mechanism is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position for selectively unlocking and locking the table for rotational movement relative to the base about the miter axis. The locking mechanism has a lock lever rotatably connected to the table. The lock lever has a handle for moving locking mechanism between the locked and unlocked positions. The saw also has a miter detent assembly for selectively engaging and disengaging the detent notch.

A smooth roll (1) having a surface layer with water-retaining function is obtained by a method for producing a milling roll, comprising: a roughening process for blasting a surface (2a) of a roll substrate (2) constituting the smooth roll (1); and a coating process for spraying a thermal spray material over the roughened surface (2a) of the roll substrate (2) so as to form a thermal sprayed coating (3) having pores (5) that retain water. Satisfactory cereal powder is obtained by preventing drying of cereals in a milling process and retaining an adequate water content.

A wear-resistant element for partial insertion into a recess on the surface of a wear area of a comminuting device. The wear-resistant element includes particles made of a highly wear-resistant material which are embedded in a matrix material.

A method for making recesses in the surface of a roller for a rolling press. A thermal treatment is applied to a cylindrical roller surface by heating the surface in a region of the desired recesses until the material properties of the roller surface change permanently, i.e., even after cooling, with respect to the hardness of the roller material. The thermally treated regions produce a softer material in those regions than in the surrounding surface of the roller. By virture of a first start-up of the rolling press with abrasive material to be comminuted, the desired profiling is formed spontaneously due to a wearing down of the soft regions to form the desired recesses. The thermal treatment represent a particularly simple and cost-effective method for profiling rolling rollers, and in particular, rolling rollers which have already become worn, which that thereby be readily refurbished.

A crop processor for cracking kernels in a forage harvester, the crop processor including: a housing having an inlet and an outlet; and a first and a second comminuting roll mounted inside the housing, the comminuting rolls being arranged in parallel to define an opening between the rolls, the comminuting rolls being configured to rotate, during use, in opposing rotation directions to transport a flow of harvested crop, received from the inlet, through the opening towards the outlet, wherein the first comminuting roll is configured to rotate at a greater speed than the second comminuting roll; wherein the first and second comminuting rolls each include a plurality of teeth arranged on a circumferential surface of the comminuting roll, each of the plurality of teeth includes a leading edge which faces in the rotation direction of that comminuting roll.

A grinding roll including a roll body having a cylindrical outer surface extending axially between a pair of opposite ends, and a side groove formed at each end of the roll body. The side groove includes a support shoulder recessed from the outer surface and/or from surfaces of the opposite ends of the roll body. The grinding roll includes an edge ring including a plurality of spaced receiving cavities, and a plurality of wear members each being received and retained in at least one of the receiving cavities. The wear members are positioned along the edge ring to define an edge of the grinding roll, and the edge ring is received within each side groove. The wear members are arranged to provide a wear protecting surface which is angled in relation to the outer surface of the roll body to prevent excessive build-up of material on the grinding roll.

The present invention relates to a wear-resistant hard body that includes, at least partially, a high-strength, iron-based alloy, and preferably includes an external shell or sleeve made of another material. The hard body can be made by casting a molten iron-based alloy into the shell or the sleeve. The iron-based alloy can be an FeCrMoVC alloy. The shell or sleeve can be made of steel, copper, or a copper alloy. Methods for producing the wear-resistant hard body or for producing hard bodies or side-wear protection elements for a roller of a roller press are also disclosed. A roller for a roller press that includes at least one wear-resistant hardy body as described herein is also disclosed.

A roller press comprises a roller having a roller edge; an edge wear component provided adjacent to the roller edge, the edge wear component further comprising a wear portion, an anchor portion and a connection portion; an anchor mounting pocket configured to receive the anchor portion; a gap configured to receive autogenous or semi-autogenous crushed material, the gap provided within the roller adjacent to an inner face of the edge wear component, the gap running substantially parallel to an inner face of the edge wear component and the gap configured to receive autogenous or semi-autogenous crushed material; wherein the autogenous or semi-autogenous material is disposed within the gap and the anchor portion is disposed within the anchor mounting pocket to secure the edge wear component to the roller. Also disclosed, is a method of mounting an edge wear component to a roller using such an arrangement.

In one aspect of the present invention, a high impact resistant tool comprises a sintered polycrystalline diamond body bonded to a cemented metal carbide substrate at an interface, the body comprising a substantially pointed geometry with an apex, the apex comprising a curved surface that joins a leading side and a trailing side of the body at a first and second transitions respectively, an apex width between the first and second transitions is less than a third of a width of the substrate, and the body also comprises a body thickness from the apex to the interface greater than a third of the width of the substrate.

The invention relates to a method for removing a roller tire (3) shrink fitted to a roller core (2) of a roller-press roller (1) where the roller tire is expanded by heating and pulled off the roller core. This method is characterized in that the roller tire is inductively heated with an induction coil (4).
