Abstract
This paper describes typical processes used in North America for tensioning and leveling circular saws. It concentrates on the methods used to evaluate the tensioning and leveling state of a circular saw, so that appropriate corrective actions may be taken. The paper gives practical details of the measurement processes involved and explains the theory of how they work.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag beschreibt typische Methoden, die in Nordamerika zum Spannen und Ausrichten von Kreissägeblättern verwendet werden. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf praktischen Methoden zum Abschätzen des Spannungszustandes und der Ausrichtung, so daß geeignete korrigierende Maßnahmen ergriffen werden können. Praktische Hinweise der einzelnen Methoden und theoretische Erläuterungen ihrer Wirkensweise werden dargestellt.
