Circular saw CAD(Computer Aided Drafting) program to assist in saw design and selection.

Advantages and Features of Saw Designer.
|
|
Saw designer was created for saw manufacturers and saw filers.
Saw Designer simplifies the design process and has a very short learning curve.
There is no need
to know how to use a CAD program nor is it necessary to have any
knowledge of geometry or trigonometry.
|
|
Using Saw Designer saves time over standard CAD programs.
Designing a saw in a CAD program
can take anywhere from twenty minutes to one hour.
Using Saw Designer the process can be as
little as five minutes, therefore significantly
reducing the total design time.
|
|
Saw Designer allows you to see the changes as you make them.
The saw is displayed in a viewer window and updated with every change,
therefore allowing you to view the saw exactly the way it will
look when completed.

Features Include:
- Windows Design (point and click).
- Choose from six tooth shape styles.
- Bore, keyways, and pinholes.
- Calculate power requirements.
For more details see the following:
|
- Step by step design process.
- Variable tooth pitch and gullet depth.
- Insert and expansion slots.
- Specification reports.

Tooth styles include: Square back, Round back, Control style,
Double radius (two different arcs at the bottom of the gullet),
Triple radius (three different arcs at the bottom of the gullet),
and Flat bottom (flat gullet bottom).
Bore styles include: Round bore, Lobe spline and involute spline.
|
Slot Editor |
|
The involute spline allows for a variety of adjustments which include
outside diameter, inside diameter, clearance, fillet radius, and rounded top.
Variable pitch can be adjusted by the angle between teeth
or the tooth pitch. Gullet depth can be adjusted
independently of the tooth pitch.
|
Bore Editor |
|
Slot styles include: Standard expansion slots, self plugging slots,
Insert style slots (inside and outside).
Some of the other values Saw Designer calculates include:
Gullet area, gullet capacity, tooth bite, estimated horsepower per saw.
|
Pinhole Editor |
|
You can either use a step by step process using input dialog boxes where
the program guides you through the saw design, or use the various editors
to design a saw section by section with the option of turning input dialog
boxes on or off.
Upon completion of your saw, you can export it to a DXF file
(drawing exchange format), compatible with many CAD/CAM programs
including Autocad. You can also print out a detailed specification report
with all the saw information, including two drawings, one at a 1/1 scale and
the other scaled down to show the whole saw.
