The hollow-ground bore improves clearance between the arbor and saw, reducing rubbing and heat buildup during heavy cuts. The 48-tooth, coarse-pitch geometry balances fast stock removal with smooth edges, making it ideal for roughing operations in steel, aluminum, and other metals. The 1\" bore fits common slitting saw arbors, enabling quick changes in busy shop environments, while the 7\" diameter offers ample reach for larger slots without sacrificing rigidity. With tight kerf tolerances, you can expect consistent slot widths across passes to meet exacting dimensional requirements every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40262260457550,"sku":"51031","price":76.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/slittingsawhss_f35a178c-68cd-455d-ac92-c21b77b26c3c.jpg?v=1691155085"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/collections\/vortex-imperial-hss-slitting-saws.oembed?page=3","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
