Embodiments herein provide formed wire tie strap for a saw chain. Embodiments also provide a saw chain including one or more formed wire tie straps. The formed wire tie strap may include a body with one or more integrated rivets extending from the body. In some embodiments, the body may be substantially flat. The rivet may include a rivet head configured to engage a rivet hole of an opposing tie strap and a shoulder configured to engage a rivet hole of a connecting link, such as a drive link. Some embodiments of the formed wire tie strap may include a pair of integrated rivets extending from the body. Some embodiments may include a rivet hole disposed in the body of the formed wire tie strap.

Embodiments of chain saw cutter links, and related apparatuses and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a cutter link may include a top plate, a sharpened surface having an upper end and a lower end, and a depth gauge having a top surface. The sharpened surface may define a reference line tangent to the sharpened surface at the upper end such that the reference line extends between the top plate and the sharpened surface, a sharpened width may be defined by a minimum distance between the reference line and the lower end of the sharpened surface, an opening width may be defined by a minimum distance between the reference line and the top surface of the depth gauge, and the sharpened width may be greater than the opening width. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Embodiments herein provide an involute slicer having a body portion and a blade coupled to the body. The involute slicer may further include an anvil to provide structural support to a workpiece. The blade may rotate about an axis. As the blade rotates, the blade may pass next to the anvil, thereby cutting the workpiece. The blade may include a cutting edge with a radius that increases from a proximal end to a distal end of the cutting edge. For example, the cutting edge may have an involute shape. The involute shape of the cutting edge provides a radially expanding cutting edge as the blade is rotated. In some embodiments, the blade may include a plurality of cutting edges, such as two cutting edges.

In various embodiments, a saw chain is provided that includes a rail engaging link that has an offset footprint within the link itself and/or with respect to other links in the chain that are adapted to ride on the same rail. Saw chains as provided may be used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to wood cutting and aggregate cutting applications.

A cutting chain bench grinder includes a self-centering vise that centers the cutting chain on an axis of rotation of the vise base. By centering the cutting chain to intersect the vise base axis of rotation, consistent top plate lengths and hook angles can be ground into left and right-hand cutters on a cutting chain. The vise base may also be adjusted horizontally in and out from the grinder base to align the vise base axis of rotation with the axis of rotation of the grinding wheel. The vise base may also be adjusted vertically relative to the vise base to vertically compensate for grinding wheel wear and to control grinding depth. A light tension spring may be used to bias the grinding head in both grinding and dressing positions. A down angle positioner may also be provided that rotates the cutting chain in the vise around a longitudinal centerline of the cutting chain.

A saw chain formed in part from planar cutting link blanks including a cutter portion having a top edge surface and a side surface that intersect to form a line edge. A leading portion of the curring link blank is twisted out of the plane of the blank so that the line edge becomes the cutting edge of the cutter and extends from the plane of the body to encompass the width of one side of the saw chain. Alternating cutting link are formed to have oppositely extended cutting edges to encompass the width of the saw chain. The cutting links preferably form certain of the center links of an assembled saw chain.

A tree harvesting guide bar adapted for treating stumps with a treatment material as the tree is being harvested is provided, and more particularly a valve arrangement for enabling connection of the guide bar inlet to treatment material sources on a variety of different harvesting machines is disclosed, such that the inlet not connected to the treatment material source does not need to be independently and manually plugged to prevent undesirable outflow.
摘要:
A high speed harvester cutting chain has increased cutter height to provide an increased space for removal of the cut material from the saw kerf. The increased height of the cutter links eliminates the compacting of the material cut away by the cutter links between the saw chain and the base of the saw kerf. The foot of the cutter links are flared outward to contact the guide bar rails at a different position than the tie straps to increase the wear life of the guide bar and saw chain.
