Sash gang saws with narrow-kerf saw blades are used in the production of glued laminate flooring elements in plants where dry technology is applied. This means that boards or friezes are sawn into top layer lamellae in dry conditions (moisture content of about 10–12%) from expensive wood species, often exotic. The object of this research was stellite-tipped teeth of narrow kerf saw blades sharpened under industrial conditions. A NIKON ECLIPSE Ti-S microscope equipped with a NIKON DS-Fi2 recording camera was used to take pictures of teeth, which were analysed in a graphical software to measure the radii of the main cutting edges. The high-quality images obtained were used to determine the values of the rounding radii of the cutting edges. It was noted that the quality of edges regenerated in industrial conditions, some of which had chipping, was lower than that of brand new saw blades.
