Chainsaw mill: a chainsaw with a special saw chain and guide system for use as a rip-saw.==

Types of blades and blade cuts ==

Most blade teeth are made either of tool steel or carbide.Carbide is harder and holds a sharp

edge much longer.Band saw blade

A long band welded into a circle, with teeth on one side.Compared to a circular-saw blade, it

produces less waste because it is thinner, dissipates heat better because it is longer (so

there is more blade to do the cutting, and is usually run at a slower speed.Crosscut

In woodworking, a cut made at (or close to) a right angle to the direction of the wood grain

of the workpiece.A crosscut saw is used to make this type of cut.Rip cut

In woodworking, a cut made parallel to the direction of the grain of the workpiece.A ripsaw

is used to make this type of cut.Plytooth blade

A circular saw blade with many small teeth, designed for cutting plywood with minimal

splintering.Dado blade

A special type of circular saw blade used for making wide-grooved cuts in wood so that the

edge of another piece of wood will fit into the groove to make a joint.Some dado blades can

be adjusted to make different-width grooves.A "stacked" dado blade, consisting of chipper

blades between two dado blades, can make different-width grooves by adding or removing

chipper blades.An "adjustable" dado blade has a movable locking cam mechanism to adjust

the degree to which the blade wobbles sideways, allowing continuously variable groove

widths from the lower to upper design limits of the dado.Strobe saw blade
A circular saw blade with special rakers/cutters to easily saw through green or uncured

wood that tends to jam other kinds of saw blades.== Materials used for saws ==

There are several materials used in saws, with each of its own specifications.Brass

Used only for the reinforcing folded strip along the back of backsaws, and to make the

screws that in earlier times held the blade to the handle.Iron

Used for blades and for the reinforcing strip on cheaper backsaws until superseded by

steel.Zinc

Used only for saws made to cut blocks of salt, as formerly used in kitchens

Copper

Used as an alternative to zinc for salt-cutting saws

Steel

Used in almost every existing kind of saw.Because steel is cheap, easy to shape, and very

strong, it has the right properties for most kind of saws.Diamond

Fixed onto the saw blade's base to form diamond saw blades.As diamond is a superhard

material, diamond saw blades can be used to cut hard brittle or abrasive materials, for

example, stone, concrete, asphalt, bricks, ceramics, glass, semiconductor and gem

stone.There are many methods used to fix the diamonds onto the blades' base and there are

various kinds of diamond saw blades for different purposes.High-speed steel (HSS)

The whole saw blade is made of High-Speed Steel (HSS).HSS saw blades are mainly used to

cut steel, copper, aluminum and other metal materials.If high-strength steels (e.g., stainless

steel) are to be cut, the blades made of cobalt HSS (e.g.M35, M42) should be used.Tungsten

carbide

Normally, there are two ways to use tungsten carbide to make saw blades:

Carbide-tipped saw blades

The saw blade's teeth are tipped (via welding) with small pieces of sharp tungsten carbide
block.This type of blade is also called TCT (Tungsten Carbide-Tipped) saw blade.Carbide-

tipped saw blades are widely used to cut wood, plywood, laminated board, plastic, glass,

aluminum and some other metals.Solid-carbide saw blades

The whole saw blade is made of tungsten carbide.Comparing with HSS saw blades, solid-

carbide saw blades have higher hardness under high temperatures, and are more durable,

but they also have a lower toughness.== Uses ==

Saws are commonly used for cutting hard materials.They are used extensively in forestry,

construction, demolition, medicine, and hunting.Musical saws are used as instruments to

make music.Chainsaw carving is a flourishing modern art form.Special saws have been

developed for the purpose.The production of lumber, lengths of squared wood for use in

construction, begins with the felling of trees and the transportation of the logs to a

sawmill.Plainsawing: Lumber that will be used in structures is typically plainsawn (also

called flatsawn), a method of dividing the log that produces the maximum yield of useful

pieces and therefore the greatest economy.Quarter sawing: This sawing method produces

edge-grain or vertical grain lumber, in which annual growth rings run more consistently

perpendicular to the pieces' wider faces.
