Abstract
A saw assembly and saw blade housing are disclosed. The housing includes a pocket portion configured to expose a portion of the saw blade for cutting of material. The housing includes an enclosure portion configured to enclose a portion of the saw blade that is not exposed by the pocket portion. The housing includes an entrance region through which the saw teeth pass during operation of the saw blade in order to enter the enclosure portion from the pocket portion. The housing includes an exhaust vent located within the enclosure portion of the housing and downstream of the entrance region, from the perspective of the operational rotation of the saw blade. The exhaust vent is configured to redirect debris material entering the enclosure portion of the housing via the entrance region, the debris material being redirected in a forward direction from the perspective of a cutting operation utilizing the saw blade.
