Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of hard alloy saw blades, in particular to an ultra-sharp alloy saw blade.
Background
The hard alloy circular saw blade is generally applied to cutting various natural woods, artificial boards, nonferrous metal materials and alloys thereof, ferrous metals, composite color steel plates and plastic rubber polymer materials.
The most traditional cutting objects of cemented carbide circular saw blades are wood, including natural wood and artificial boards. Therefore, the geometric parameters of the hard alloy circular saw blade for wood are basically solidified, and the cutting efficiency and the processing cost are relatively stable. Along with the continuous development of the cutting technology and the improvement of the processing technology, the requirements on cutting efficiency and processing cost are higher and higher, so that the manufacturing cost of the saw blade is reduced, and the sharpness of the saw blade is improved;
currently, the front angle of the cutter head of a hard alloy circular saw blade for wood is generally less than or equal to 15 degrees, and the front angle of the cutter blade is less than or equal to 5 degrees; the side angle is less than or equal to 1.5 degrees, and the side relief angle is less than or equal to 3 degrees; the relief angle is typically less than or equal to 15 deg., and the relief angle is typically 10 deg. -15 deg..
The front cutter face and the two side faces of the cutter head are all integral planes and are equal to the length of the cutter head; the knife head angle setting is to consider sharpness and service life, and is more important to service life, so sharpness is seriously sacrificed; the complete plane of the rake face is designed to simplify the design and machining process of the tool bit, and the waste is left as a source.
The alloy saw blade is generally in a single rotation direction, and the reverse rotation cannot be used. However, most of the current rotation direction marks are printed, sprayed or marked (including needle marking, laser marking and the like);
for the rotary direction marks adopting printing and spraying, the marks are damaged quickly because the matrix and the cutting object are necessarily rubbed when the saw blade works. If the saw blade is not scrapped due to one clamping, the rotation direction can not be identified when the saw blade is clamped for the second time. Accidents thus caused occur at times. For the marked saw blade, although better than the saw blade for printing and spraying, the marked saw blade is gradually worn away due to the shallower depth of the marking; when the clamping is carried out again, a novice is easy to reverse, and when the cutting is carried out, the cutter head falls off to hurt people, and the problem needs to be solved.

Further, the notch comprises a groove arranged on one surface of the tool bit 2, which is far away from the welding surface of the base body 1.
Further, the width of the cutter head is B, the groove 21 is in a circular arc shape, and the radius=b of the circular arc; the depth of the arc cutting tool bit is 15-20% B; the length of the cutter head is L; the distance from the top end of the arc to the top end is L 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The L is 2 The L2/L is more than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 30%.
Further, the notch further comprises rectangular notches arranged at the lower parts of the two side faces of the cutter head.
