(2) Circular saw blades (including slittin or slotting saw blades for use on milling machines). The latter can be distinguishe from millin cutters by the ratio of thickness to diameter which is less than for milling cutters, and y the toothing which is'cut only on the periphery as with ordinary circular saws, whereas milling cutters often have teeth on their faces, or have concave or convex teeth. f (3) Chain saw blades (in the form of chains for felling trees, sawing up tree trunks, etc. The teeth of such blades often comprise e ements of metal carbides or cemets. ? (4) Strai ht saw blades for panel saws, tenon saws, hack saws, etc., includin those for saws &,own as " filigree saws " (round blades toothed like a file, but used or sawing like a fret saw blade). f (5) Strai ht toothless stone cutting saw blades (either hammered or machine dressed so as to e quite flat, or corrugated) provided their extremities are perforated or otherwise shaped for fixing, (6) Toothless cutting discs (friction discs) for cutting through metals.
