Segmental saw bodies are made from high quality alloy steel, heat treated to give 1400 N/mm2 tensile strength. The segments are made from high speed steel and fitted with 4 rivets to the body. The segments are taper ground from kerf to plate and grooved by coolant slots, this is done on 8 tps and above only on request. The tooth form is the standard form with the rake angle and clearance angle depending on the material to be cut. The teeth are ground in the standard high, low, T/Chip form with a small bevel on the low tooth. The gullet is wellrounded to allow easy curling of the chips and the depth of the tooth is about 0.4 of the tooth pitch.
