Abstract:
Disclosed are cutting blades for cutting tools and methods of making the blades. Such blades include tooth patterns with both set and non-set teeth. Each of the set teeth are set at an angle with respect to the jaw line of the blade, and each set tooth includes at least one surface feature that is effective to direct a portion of swarf that is produced via the cutting action of the blade into gullets of the blade such that less swarf overall is directed to the cutting surface of the objects being cut by the blade.
