Abstract

A blade includes an attachment portion having a mounting aperture, the attachment portion configured to couple with an oscillating power tool. The blade also includes a body extending from the attachment portion in a direction defining a longitudinal axis. The body includes a cutting edge having teeth and a distal end generally opposite the attachment portion. The cutting edge is recessed from the distal end.

Claims (25)

1. A blade comprising:

an attachment portion configured to couple with an oscillating power tool;

a body extending from the attachment portion in a direction defining a longitudinal axis, the body defining a distal end generally opposite the attachment portion, the body having a generally planar portion defining a plane, the generally planar portion including a cutting edge having teeth, wherein the cutting edge and the distal end are in the plane, wherein the cutting edge is recessed from the distal end such that the cutting edge is closer to the attachment portion than the distal end is to the attachment portion, and wherein the body defines inner walls extending from the cutting edge to the distal end.

2. The blade of claim 1 , wherein the distal end is toothless.

3. The blade of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner walls is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis.

4. The blade of claim 1 , wherein the cutting edge extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

5. The blade of claim 1 , wherein the distal end is defined by a first stop on one side of the longitudinal axis and a second stop on an opposite side of the longitudinal axis, wherein the first stop defines one of the inner walls, wherein the second stop defines another one of the inner walls, and wherein the first and second stops are configured to engage a workpiece.

6. The blade of claim 5 , wherein the inner walls are in the plane, and wherein the cutting edge is recessed from the distal end in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

7. The blade of claim 6 , wherein the inner wall of each of the first and second stops is toothless.

8. The blade of claim 5 , wherein the first and second stops each include an outer wall extending from the distal end toward the attachment portion on an outer side of the body.

9. The blade of claim 8 , wherein the outer wall of each of the first and second stops is toothless.

10. The blade of claim 1 , wherein the generally planar portion is bounded by an upper planar surface and a lower planar surface, wherein the upper planar surface is parallel to the plane, wherein the lower planar surface is parallel to the plane, and wherein the cutting edge and the distal end are disposed between the upper planar surface and the lower planar surface.

11. The blade of claim 1 , wherein the cutting edge and the distal end are side edges of the generally planar portion.

12. A blade comprising:

an attachment portion configured to couple with an oscillating power tool;

a body extending from the attachment portion in a forward direction defining a longitudinal axis, the body defining a distal end generally opposite the attachment portion, the body defining a first toothless wall and a second toothless wall, the body having a generally planar portion defining a plane, the generally planar portion including a cutting edge having teeth, wherein the cutting edge and the distal end are in the plane, wherein the teeth extend from a first end of the cutting edge to a second end of the cutting edge, wherein the first toothless wall extends in the forward direction from the first end of the cutting edge to the distal end and the second toothless wall extends in the forward direction from the second end of the cutting edge to the distal end.

13. The blade of claim 12 , wherein the distal end is toothless.

14. The blade of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first or second toothless walls is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis.

15. The blade of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first or second toothless walls is transverse to the longitudinal axis.

16. The blade of claim 12 , wherein the cutting edge extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

17. The blade of claim 12 , wherein the first and second toothless walls are substantially mirror images of each other about the longitudinal axis.

18. A blade comprising:

an attachment portion configured to couple with an oscillating power tool;

a body extending from the attachment portion in a direction defining a longitudinal axis, the body defining a distal end generally opposite the attachment portion, the body having a generally planar portion defining a plane, the generally planar portion including a cutting edge having teeth, wherein the cutting edge and the distal end are in the plane, wherein the cutting edge is recessed from the distal end such that the body defines inner walls extending from the cutting edge to the distal end, and wherein the cutting edge extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

19. The blade of claim 18 , wherein the inner walls are toothless.
