Method of making a cable-type saw

Abstract

A saw consisting of a loop of cable on which are mounted a polarity of abrasive elements, each element having a small sleeve. .Iadd.

The invention having been thus described, what is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A method of forming a cable type saw, comprising the steps of: a. forming a main body element of malleable metal having two axially adjacent cylindrical portions, one portion having a large diameter and the other portion having a small diameter,   b. placing the body element in a bore in a die, which bore has the same diameter as the said large diameter,   c. placing a powdered abrasive substance in the space between the surface of the bore and the portion of small diameter,   d. pressing the substance in the space axially toward the portion of large diameter, thereby causing a part of the small diameter portion to extend axially beyond the substance,   e. raising the temperature of the pressed substance to produce a solid body,   f. forming a centrally-located axially-directed bore in the body,   g. placing a piece of flexible cable through the bore in the body,   h. placing a collar concentrically over the said part of the small diameter portion, and   i. swaging the collar so that it fixedly engages the body and so that the body fixedly engages the cable.   
     
     
       2. A method of forming a cable type saw, comprising the steps of: a. forming a main body element of malleable metal having two axially adjacent cylindrical portions, one portion having a large diameter and the other portion having a small diameter,   b. placing the body element in a bore in a die, which bore has the same diameter as the said large diameter,   c. placing a powdered abrasive substance in the space between the surface of the bore and the portion of small diameter,   d. pressing the substance in the space axially toward the portion of large diameter, thereby causing a part of the small diameter portion to extend axially beyond the substance,   e. raising the temperature of the pressed substance to produce a solid body,   f. forming a centrally-located axially-directed bore in the body,   g. placing a piece of flexible cable through the bore in the body,   h. placing a collar concentrically over the said part of the small diameter portion,   i. swaging the collar so that it fixedly engages the body and the body beneath it fixedly engages the cable,   j. forming a second portion of small diameter from a part of the portion of large diameter, and   k. swaging the second portion so that the body beneath it fixedly engages the cable.   
     
     
       3. A method of forming a cable type saw, comprising the steps of: a. forming a main body element of malleable metal having two axially adjacent cylindrical portions, one portion having a large diameter and the other portion having a small diameter,   b. placing the body element in a bore in a die, which bore has the same diameter as the said large diameter,   c. placing a powdered abrasive substance in the space between the surface of the bore and the portion of the small diameter,   d. pressing the substance in the space axially toward the portion of large diameter, thereby causing a part of the small diameter portion to extend axially beyond the substance,   e. raising the temperature of the pressed substance to produce a solid body,   f. forming a centrally-located axially-directed bore in the body,   g. placing a piece of flexible cable through the bore in the body,   h. swaging the small diameter portion so that the body fixedly engages the cable, and   i. placing a collar concentrically over the said part of the small diameter portion. .Iadd. 4. A method of forming a cable type saw, comprising the steps of:   a. forming a main body of malleable metal having two axially adjacent cylindrical portions, one portion having a large diameter and the other portion having a small diameter,   b. placing the body element in a bore in a die, which bore has the same diameter as the said large diameter,   c. placing a powdered abrasive substance in the space between the surface of the bore and the portion of small diameter,   d. pressing the substance in the space axially toward the portion of large diameter, thereby causing a part of the small diameter portion to extend axially beyond the substance,   e. raising the temperature of the pressed substance to produce a solid abrasive body,   f. forming a centrally-located axially-directed bore in the body,   g. placing a piece of flexible cable through the bore in the body,   h. providing a shoulder at the said portion of small diameter, so that it fixedly engages the abrasive body and so that the main body fixedly engages the cable. .Iaddend.
