In combination with a saw machine having a relatively thin circular saw mounted upon an arbor with floating axial looseness and a saw guide defining a limiting control plane for guiding the leading edge of said saw, a splitter mounted for lateral movement and laterally positioned by the rear edge of said saw. A splitter for use in saw machines having a circular saw and comprising a pair of spaced contacts, each contact having a bearing surface for making contact with opposite sides of a circular saw, and a divider member having a plurality of resilient contacts that extend into a region above said spaced contacts and in trailing relation to the rear edge of a saw.

A radial arm saw guard for the exposed lower portion of the blade has inner and outer lengths of articulated links fixed to the blade housing to hang on each side of the blade. Each length has a pair of straight links pivotally connected to the front and back of a side of the housing with at least five intermediate links therebetween. The intermediate links are laterally offset a distance equal to their thickness and they are joined by pins extending through longitudinal slots in their ends. Each pin mounts a plastic disk on the side away from the blade, the disks having a diameter at least fifty per cent greater than the vertical depth of the links.

A method and apparatus for guiding rapidly moving power saw blades to insure accuracy of cut and minimize blade deflection and vibration. A pair of saw guides having flat, parallel faces are mounted in opposed relationship to one another with a saw blade sandwiched between them, the space between the two guides being sufficient to provide respective predetermined gaps between the blade and the face of each guide. Near the center of each guide face is a port through which a pressurized fluid, which is preferably a finely atomized oil-air mixture, is introduced into the respective gaps, such fluid flowing radially outwardly from the port through the gap toward the periphery of the respective guide face. The predetermined size of each gap is such that, for the particular pressure and flow of fluid involved, regions of subatmospheric pressure pursuant to the Bernoulli effect are created on either side of the saw blade in the respective gaps, the suction tending to increase if a respective gap widens and decrease if the gap narrows due to blade deflection. During operation the blade normally remains in a central position of equilibrium between the two guides with the respective suction pressures on each side of the blade balancing one another. Momentary deflection of the blade increases the suction on one side and decreases it on the other, thereby providing a rapidly acting restoring force to return the blade to its central position.

Cut boards are tipped away from a saw blade and an adjacent splitter by spring members which apply a maximum tipping force to the upper portion of the cut boards. Tipping of the board away from the saw blade is further assured by an abutment which is struck by the cut board as it falls.
摘要:
A method and article of fabricating a table comprising the steps of making a lightweight metal frame having a plurality of channels, the edges of which are slightly overlapped by steel plates placed on and connected to the frame. The top surface of the steel plates is machined to render the same coplanar.The frame has orthogonal ribs, and a plurality of bosses formed with apertures therethrough for passage of connecting screws which thread into tapped holes formed in the steel plates. Any excessive length of the screws will be cut off during the machining operation.

A cyclic saw having a thin, flexible, broad band blade, of tapered thickness, guided by fluid bearings coacting with the side faces of the band blade.
摘要:
A blade quality monitor for use with cutter reels having specifically identifiable blades utilize a sensor to detect the position of a physical anomaly on the reel. Additional sensors sense the force at the interface between the cutter reel, the material wrapped thereon and the associated pressure roller. The position of the physical anomaly is correlated with the sensed force to determine the magnitude thereof at each blade which is indicative of the condition of the blade with respect to sharpness or intactness.
