Abstract
A cutter wheel for brittle materials includes a disk with two side planes and an outer peripheral portion between the planes. The outer peripheral portion includes two bevel portions and a ridge portion between the bevel portions. The ridge portion has a plurality of peaks aligned along a circumferential line. For example, the ridge portion includes a straight line connecting two adjacent peaks in the plurality of peaks. Alternatively, the ridge portion is a depression between two adjacent peaks in the plurality of peaks, and the depth of the depression is deeper than the straight line connecting the two adjacent peaks. Preferably, the peaks are spaced apart at an equal distance.
