ABRASIVE SAW CHAIN

Embodiments herein provide an abrasive saw chain that includes drive links and tie straps coupled to one another. Cutting elements, such as diamond cutting elements, may be coupled to upper surfaces of respective drive links. An upper surface of the tie strap may contact a lower surface of a cutting element to provide support for the cutting element. The tie strap may include a limiting feature tocontact front and/or back surfaces of adjacent cutting elements when the links traverse an elongate portion of a guide bar. Alternatively, or additionally, the drive links may include a mating surface that contacts a mating surface of an adjacent drive link when the drive links traverse the elongate portion of the guide bar. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. 本文中的各实施方式提供了种磨锯链，该磨锯链包括联接至彼此的驱动链节和连接片。切割元件、比如金刚石切割元件可以联接至相应的驱动链节的上表面。连接片的上表面可以接触切割元件的下表面，以为切割元件提供支承。连接片可以包括用以在链节横越导杆的长形部分时接触相邻的切割元件的前和/或背表面的限制特征。替代性地或另外，驱动链节可以包括下述配合表面，该配合表面在驱动链节横越导杆的长形部分时接触相邻的驱动链节的配合表面。可以描述以及/或者要求保护其他实施方式。
