Abstract

A ring saw includes a ring saw blade, a tool holder that guides the ring saw blade in a cutting plane, a motor, and a driving wheel where the ring saw blade is drivable in the cutting plane by the driving wheel and the driving wheel is coupled to the motor. The driving wheel is mounted in a bearing block so as to be rotatable about a drive axis perpendicular to the cutting plane. The bearing block is movable parallel to the cutting plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A ring saw, comprising:
a ring saw blade; a tool holder, wherein the tool holder guides the ring saw blade in a cutting plane; a motor; a driving wheel, wherein the ring saw blade is drivable in the cutting plane by the driving wheel and wherein the driving wheel is coupled to the motor; a bearing block, wherein the driving wheel is mounted in the bearing block so as to be rotatable about a drive axis perpendicular to the cutting plane; wherein the tool holder includes:
a guide roller which is disposed on a first side of the cutting plane, wherein the ring saw blade is guidable by the guide roller from the first side; and
a guide roll which is disposed on a second side of the cutting plane, wherein the ring saw blade is guidable by the guide roll from the second side;
wherein the bearing block is mounted on a slide, wherein the slide is coupled via a linkage to an actuating lever which is actuatable by a user, and wherein the slide, the bearing block, and the driving wheel are movable parallel to the cutting plane relative to the ring saw blade by the actuating lever between: (a) a first position where the driving wheel and the ring saw blade are in contact when the actuating lever is in a closing position in which the guide roll and the guide roller are in contact with the ring saw blade, and (b) a second position where the driving wheel and the ring saw blade are not in contact when the actuating lever is in an opening position in which the guide roller but not the guide roll is in contact with the ring saw blade.

2 . The ring saw as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a bevel gear mechanism which couples the driving wheel to the motor, wherein the bevel gear mechanism has a crown wheel connected to the driving wheel and wherein the crown wheel is mounted in the bearing block.

3 . The ring saw as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a machine housing and a pivotable hood, wherein the guide roll is mounted in the pivotable hood.

4 . The ring saw as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the pivotable hood is openable and closable by the actuating lever, wherein the pivotable hood is closed when the actuating lever is in the closing position, and wherein the pivotable hood is open when the actuating lever is in the opening position.
