Question Saw blade teeth?

I would like to create a row of saw blade teeth, the teeth would be along a straight line, say like on a band saw, or common hand saw, meaning along a single straight row, without having to draw each and every tooth.

Is there a way in AC3D to tell it to repeat like a specific distance or in certain number, meaning say 25 teeth in a row?

Make one tooth; note it's length; use the Tools->Replicator to produce copies, setting the translate to the tooth width.

Thanks, that works great, now how do I make it in to a complete blade, meaning like a hacksaw blade with thickness? It would be nice if it was one object.

Wow, that's great, could not ask for more. The project I needed this for was for tools, a hand powered hacksaw blade illustration, and jig saw blade, the complete tool, not an electric saw, but the human powered version. I was able to do the tool itself but not the blade (That is, not without a lot of effort. Thanks much
