Design in what way?
Are we talking about the actual design of one (structure etc) or do you mean how to do it on a computer/by hand?

Umm, well I don't think there's a book out there for specifically designing saw blades.
Simulation is just CAD work in something like Solidworks, it will be a fairly generic set of concepts you'd apply there.
Theory, well that's something you should learn in a class. We can point you in a rough direction but I don't know if we're going to be able to give you everything you need.

optics.tech said:There are types of saw blades for cutting a various size of pipe.
That also depends upon what the pipe is made of and how thick the walls are. Really, man... you're not giving us much to go on.
optics.tech said:Sorry, because I don't have much known about it too.
OK, say the pipe is made from PVC, outer diameter of 100 mm and thickness of 3 mm.
Thanks for the props, but I couldn't have delved any further into the subject of engineering saw-blades without running into a brick wall.Danger said:What Turbo said... except that he said it far better than I could have.
A circular saw is a power tool that is used to make straight and precise cuts in various materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic. It consists of a motor that rotates a circular blade at high speeds, allowing it to cut through the material. The blade is typically made of steel and has sharp teeth along its edge to make the cuts. The saw also has a guard that covers the blade and a handle for the user to hold onto while operating the tool.
There are several types of circular saws, including sidewinder saws, worm drive saws, and compact circular saws. Sidewinder saws have the motor mounted on the side of the blade, while worm drive saws have the motor mounted behind the blade. Compact circular saws are smaller and lighter, making them easier to maneuver. There are also corded and cordless circular saws, with cordless models being more portable but typically less powerful.
To choose the right circular saw, you need to consider the type of material you will be cutting, the depth of the cut you need, and the power source available. For example, if you are cutting thick or dense materials, you may need a more powerful saw with a larger blade. Additionally, the type of cut you need, such as a straight cut or a bevel cut, may require a specific type of circular saw.
When using a circular saw, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, earplugs, and gloves. Always make sure the saw is unplugged or the battery is removed before changing the blade or performing maintenance. Keep your hands away from the blade and always use the guard to cover the blade when not in use. It is also important to have a stable work surface and secure the material being cut to prevent it from moving.
To maintain a circular saw, it is important to regularly clean the blade and the saw's motor housing to remove any build-up of debris or sawdust. You should also periodically check the blade for any signs of damage or dullness and replace it as needed. It is also important to store the saw in a dry location and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Additionally, using the right blade for the material being cut and following the manufacturer's instructions can help extend the lifespan of the saw.
