SAWS 52 / NORTON WINTER PRECISION TECHNOLOGY TOOL GRINDING Various types of saws (e.g. circular saws and band saws) are used in the woodworking and plastics processing industries. Grinding technology is used to create the tooth geometry of these saws. A basic distinction can be made between one-piece saws and composite saws. Information Further information on applications and products can be found at www.nortonabrasives.com For example, HSS band saws and HSS circular saw blades are one-piece saws. The tooth geometry required for these saws is ground under CNC-controll using radial grinding wheels (see our ‘profile S’ programme). Saws of this type are sometimes also manufactured as segmented saws. Composite saws, on the other hand, have carbide, cermet or diamond tips brazed onto a metal core. The shape of the teeth (face, top and flank) is then ground sequentially (see illustration on next page). SAWS
