how about 3D scanning the bandsaw? i have done some research about the stress analysis, but never had time to publish this research. ''STRESS ANALYSIS OF CUTTING TEETH IN THE BANDSAWING PROCESS OF STAINLESS STEEL G-X55CrNiSiS19-13-2''.
ABSTRACT - This paper presents the results of an experimental study of cutting tools through the influence of process parameters during processing of cylindrical, thick-walled stainless steel parts. Given that the investigational tool (the saw) is multiple cutting, with variable increments between each tooth and periodic intervention in the workpiece, using the finite element method (FEM) it is possible to determine the state of stress of cutting teeth at varying cutting conditions. The measurable processing parameters, which were continuously compiled in the process of of treatment were torque and power on the operating motor of the saw. Other indicators of the tool exertion were conducted indirectly, through the analytical method.
Keywords: Finite Element Method, Band Sawing, Process Parameters, Reverse Engineering.
One way is direct modeling - by using high end cad softwares like Catia, NX or Creo for modeling the bandsaw. First create the 2D profile then extrude it.
Other way is reverse engineering - Scan a real bandsaw teeth and then use the datapoints obtained to model it.
