PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chip saw for a bush cutter having distortion prevention means, when brazing a chip, capable of preventing (suppressing) distortion and deformation of an outer peripheral edge of a knife blade by heating.SOLUTION: A chip saw 1 for a bush cutter includes multiple chip mounting parts 5 that are formed at equal intervals on an outer peripheral part 4 of a circular knife blade 2 that has a mounting hole 3 to be mounted on a bush cutter bored at the central position, and chips that are fixed to the chip mounting parts 5. Outer peripheral parts 4 between the chip mounting parts 5 are linearly or curvedly formed from a rotating-direction tip end side to a rear end side in the direction of approaching to the mounting hole 3. Through-holes 71 and recessed grooves 75 as distortion absorbing means 7 for absorbing distortion of the knife blade 2 are formed at the rotating-direction tip end sides of the chip mounting parts 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】チップロウ付け時に刃板の外周縁部の加熱による歪みや変形を防止(抑制)できる歪防止手段を設けた刈払機用チップソーを提供する。【解決手段】中心位置に刈払機への取付穴3が穿設された円板状の刃板2の外周縁部4に等間隔で多数のチップ取付部5が形成されており、チップ取付部5にチップが固着された刈払機用チップソー1であって、チップ取付部5間の外周縁部4は、回転方向の先端側から後端側にかけて取付穴3に近づく方向に直線又は曲線状に形成されている。また、チップ取付部5の回転方向の先端側には、刃板2の歪みを吸収する歪吸収手段7として貫通穴71及び凹溝75が形成されている。【選択図】図1
