Abstract

Lap cutting blades are provided which are useable for the multiple lap cung of solid materials, such as semiconductorrods. The blades each have a generally rectilinear cutting edge, the length of which is 1-75 times the thickness of the blade, as measured at its cutting edge. The cutting edge of each blade has rectilinear edge portions separated by a plurality of notched edge portions which, in turn, define a plurality of recesses which encompass 5 to 25% of the total blade length and 5 to 40% of the effective operating length of the blade. The notched blade edge portions define a notch angle of between 20 and 80 degrees, as measured between the tangent thereto at its point of intersection with the rectilinear cutting edge portion and a line perpendicular to the rectilinear cutting edge portion.
