A device for ventilating a burning building that includes, a chassis; and a cutting assembly, mounted on the chassis. The cutting assembly is adapted to cut a ventilation hole in a roof or wall member of a building either autonomously or under remote control by an operator to allow smoke and/or hot gases to escape from the roof space.

A machine (1) for machining slab materials (3) is described, comprising: a working plane (2) configured to support a slab material (3) to be machined; a first tool-holder electrospindle (11) associated to a respective supporting body (33), the first electrospindle (11) and the respective supporting body (33) being supported above said working plane (2) by a respective supporting equipment (12) perpendicularly with respect to the working plane (2) and configured to move the first electrospindle (11) and the respective supporting body (33) about a rotation axis (Z) perpendicular to the working plane (2); a moving apparatus (14) configured to move the equipment (12) in parallel to the working plane (2) and along directions (X, Y) perpendicular to one another; at least a second tool-holder electrospindle (45), rotationally and translationally integral with the first electrospindle (11), supported above the working plane (2) in parallel to the first electrospindle (11) by a respective supporting arm (47) slidably supported by the supporting body (33) of the first electrospindle (11); a first actuator device (55) active to move the supporting arm (47) and the second electrospindle (45) supported by the same towards and away from the first electrospindle (11) in parallel to the working plane (2) and along a direction substantially perpendicular to a cutting plane extending perpendicularly to the working plane (2); and a second actuator device (63) associated to the supporting arm (47) of the second electrospindle (45) and configured to move the second electrospindle (45) along a direction perpendicular to the working plane (2) independently of the first electrospindle (11).

A box-joint blade system includes left- and right-directed blades that each include a saw plate, a set of saw tips, and a set of gullets disposed between the tips. The tips of each blade are axially offset from the saw plate in opposite directions, such that the blades may be mounted on the axis of the saw in either a first configuration, with left and right saw tips outwardly offset and producing a wide cut, or a second configuration, with the tips inwardly offset and producing a narrow cut. In at least the second configuration, the tips of each blade are disposed within the gullets of the other. The tips optionally have a positive hook angle of up to 20 or more, to produce a smooth, flat-bottomed groove in a workpiece.
