A stump cutter tooth assembly includes a stump cutter tooth held by a pocket member that includes an arcuate shoulder having one or more tabs. A stump cutter tooth is adapted to be mounted on the pocket member. The stump cutter tooth includes a tooth body having one or more recesses and an arcuate outer surface. The arcuate outer surface of the stump cutter tooth is adapted to abut against the arcuate shoulder of the pocket member to prevent unwanted movement of the stump cutter tooth relative to the pocket member during the cutting operation. The one or more recesses of the stump cutter tooth cooperate with the one or more tabs of the pocket member to provide an anti-rotation and locating feature.

A cutting insert includes a body portion having an upper surface, a lower surface located opposite the upper surface, and side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The body portion disposed about an axis passing through the upper and lower surfaces. The cutting insert further including a plurality of projecting portions provided integrally with the body portion at an outer position thereof in a direction orthogonal to the axis. Each projecting portion has an upper and lower surface, two side surfaces, a side end surface extending between the side surfaces, a round corner surface extending between the upper and side end surfaces, and a cutting edge formed between at least one of the side surfaces and the side end surface. The side surface of each projecting portion is structured to engage a first or second contact surface of a mounting seat formed in a cutter body.

Blade insert extension assemblies may include a blade insert configured for placement in the insert seat of the adjustable blade. The blade insert may have a leading insert surface and a trailing insert surface. An insert extension assembly may be carried by the blade insert. The insert extension assembly may include at least one extension block disposed generally along at least a portion of the trailing insert surface.

A rotating cutting assembly includes a wheel and a tooth base coupled to an outer periphery of the wheel. The tooth base includes a narrowed stem and an aperture spaced from the narrowed stem. The cutting assembly further includes a cutting tooth removably secured to the tooth base. The cutting tooth has a mounting surface configured to engage the tooth base, and first and second bosses extending from the mounting surface and spaced apart from one another by a distance at least as large as a width of the narrowed stem such that the first and second bosses straddle the stem when the mounting surface engages the tooth base. The cutting tooth further includes an aperture aligned with the aperture in the tooth base. A fastener is received in the aperture of the cutting tooth and the aperture of the base to removably secure the cutting tooth to the base.

A slitting cutter having a disk-shaped cutter body with a plurality of circumferentially spaced insert receiving portions and a plurality of cutting inserts retained therein. Each insert receiving portion has first and second clamping jaws spaced apart by an insert receiving slot, the first clamping jaw resiliently displaceable and having a resilient axis of rotation. The number of cutting inserts resiliently clamped in the slitting cutter is an inner cutting diameter defined by the plurality of resilient axes of rotation multiplied by a spacing factor of between 0.15 and 0.30. A tool key having first and second key prongs is used in combination with the slitting cutter. The second key prong has a thrust surface with a concave profile. In a partially assembled position of the slitting cutter the thrust surface contacts at least one of two spaced apart first and second corner surfaces of the respective cutting insert.

A saw tooth mountable to a circular saw disc and including a body defining rear and front ends. In operation, the front end leads the rear end as the saw disc turns. A cutting tip extends from the body and defines a cutting tip base adjacent to the body and an opposed cutting edge. The cutting tip base is rearwardly provided relative to the cutting edge. An elongated gullet extends along the cutting tip substantially adjacent to the cutting tip base and defines opposed gullet first and second ends and a gullet longitudinal axis therebetween. A gullet nadir line extends longitudinally between the gullet first and second ends and joins locations along the gullet that are closest to the rear end at all longitudinal positions along the gullet. The gullet nadir line is closer to the rear end at the gullet first end than at the gullet second end.
