Tools are described having removable working elements, include saws having removable cutting elements. Interface geometries on one or more of a core structure and removable elements may be simple or complex geometries. Securement elements releasably hold the removable elements in place.

A blade assembly is formed from multiple blades assembled adjacent each other with openings in respective blades arranged to form a passageway passing through adjacent blades.

A laminar is formed from a plurality of sections, where in one example, one or more of the sections are selected to have a configuration according to a known parameter or characteristic of the section, for example material characteristics. One or more sections are cut from a raw material or stock material according to the known parameter or characteristic, which for example can be a known characteristic of the stock material such as roll direction.

Tool cores may have removable sections, which may be removable without damaging, cutting or severing attachment configurations for the removable sections. The removable sections may be handled simultaneously. Moving parts used to facilitate removal of the removable sections may be secured in a pre-loaded configuration.

A cutting or grinding tool includes a blade. The blade includes a disc-shaped base metal, cutting or grinding tips (edges) provided on a peak (outer circumferential edge) of the base metal, and a protruding coating on a side face of the base metal along the entire outer circumference of the base metal.

The present disclosure is directed towards an Improved Circular Saw Blade for simultaneous and combination cutting and chamfering a workpiece comprising a modified circular saw blade configured as a primary cutter to be mounted to one end of an arbor shaft rotatable on an axis. The modified circular saw blade comprises a plurality of substantially identical slots spaced circumferentially and extending radially inward towards the center. A modified chamfer tool is then configured as a secondary cutter to be aligned and mounted coaxially behind the primary cutter on the arbor shaft. The modified chamfer tool comprises angularly disposed peripheral chamfer blades mounted in the slots of the primary cutter so as to be displaceable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the modified circular saw blade. During manufacturing operations the peripheral chamfer blades of the secondary cutter are configured to follow the path of the primary cutter for simultaneously cutting and chamfering of the workpiece to a certain desired length and angle, respectively.

A method of strengthening a component made of a metallic material. The method includes subjecting the component to a mechanical grinding process incorporating a relative motion between a tool and the component forming a gradient structure on the surface of the component, resulting in increased tensile strength of the component. A method of strengthening a component made of a TWIP steel. The method includes subjecting the component made of TWIP steel to a mechanical grinding process incorporating a relative motion between a tool and the component forming a gradient structure containing a surface nanolaminate layer, a shear band layer, and an inner deformation twinned layer, resulting in increased tensile strength of the component. A component made of a TWIP steel containing a gradient structure with a surface nanolaminate layer, a shear band layer, and a deformation twinned layer.

Stabilized cutting tool assemblies. A cutting tool assembly for use with a reference surface includes a tool holder having a rotational axis. The tool holder is arranged for attachment to a drive source arranged to rotate the tool holder and move the tool holder relative to a reference surface. The cutting tool assembly includes a rotatable cutting tool coupled to the tool holder. The cutting tool includes a cutting surface and has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is disposed adjacent the tool holder. The cutting tool assembly includes a stabilizer coupled to the cutting tool adjacent the second portion. The stabilizer has a bearing surface. The bearing surface is positioned on the second portion to abut the reference surface and to stabilize the cutting tool when the drive source moves the tool holder and the cutting tool to a position adjacent the reference surface.

A saw blade for cutting stalk crops, such as for example maize or millet, has a planar flank and a facet flank and a sawing edge with a succession of saw teeth. The saw teeth are provided with a wear protection zone, the wear resistance of which is greater than that of a material of the base body of the saw blade. The wear protection zone is respectively located on the planar flank of each saw tooth. The saw teeth in the region of the tooth face have a cutting facet, starting from the facet flank. The cutting facet is configured at a distance from the planar flank of the saw tooth to form a blunt tooth cutting edge and, in a preferred embodiment, the cutting facet and the facet flank are configured without a wear protection zone.

A saw blade is provided having a noise and stress-reduction structure, the saw blade having a structure in which a plurality of diamond segments are mounted at a first unit and the first unit has a second unit, thereby reducing the noise generated during a cutting operation, while increasing heating performance with a relatively simple configuration, and simultaneously dispersing impact stress so as to prevent the occurrence of cracks.
