A saw tooth for a saw including a square saw tooth body to be mounted on a holder and for receiving inserts fastened to inwardly sloping seating surfaces on the cutting end of the tooth body. The inserts are provided with cutting edges. Between seating surfaces, the cutting end of the tooth body defines recesses for receiving intermediate members fastened therein. The intermediate members are provided with cutting edges, and the intermediate members abut the adjoining inserts to form a cutting surface about the periphery of the cutting end of the saw tooth and help protect the saw tooth body from damage including washout.

A cutting tooth includes a tooth body having a mounting side, a front face spaced from the mounting side, and a plurality of lateral faces extending between the mounting side and the front face, the tooth body having an interior hardness, and a coating applied to at least one of the lateral faces to form a lateral hardface, the lateral hardface having a hardface hardness greater than the interior hardness, an edge of the lateral hardface closest to the front face and a portion of the front face adjacent the edge of the lateral hardface defining a cutting edge region of the tooth.

An apparatus, system, and method for removing and installing slasher teeth in a saw are provided. The apparatus has a first body and a second body having a space formed therebetween, wherein a slasher tooth is positionable within the space. At least one locator pin is connected to at least one of the first and second body, the at least one locator pin contactable to the slasher tooth to locate the first and second body relative to the slasher tooth. At least one engagement device is positioned on one or both of the first and second bodies, the at least one engageable device being actuatable, whereby actuation of the at least one engagement device moves it relative to the first and second bodies and into the space where the at least one engagement device contacts a rivet positioned between the slasher tooth and a saw body.

An apparatus, system, and method for withdrawing slasher teeth from a slasher saw are provided. The apparatus has a handle, and a forked portion is connected to one end of the handle. A gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion. A floating shank positioner is positioned at least partially within the gap. At least one common hole is formed through the two prongs of the forked portion. When the slasher tooth is connected to the at least one common hole, pivoting of the handle removes the slasher tooth from the pocket of the saw.

The present disclosure concerns a saw tooth holder for a cutting disk of a rotary cutting machine. The saw tooth holder comprises a holder body having a tooth-receiving surface abuttable against a rear surface of a saw tooth of a tooth assembly and a trailing surface, opposed to the tooth-receiving surface, and defining a trailing oblique angle with respect to the tooth-receiving surface. The holder body has a fastener-receiving aperture extending therethrough between the tooth-receiving surface and the trailing surface and being accessible from the tooth-receiving surface and the trailing surface. The present disclosure also concerns a cutting disk comprising such a saw tooth holder, a saw tooth holder in combination with a tooth assembly, and a rotary cutting machine comprising such a cutting disk.
