Slitting saws cut narrow slots, grooves and parting-off cuts. The arbor matters as much as the saw itself — get that right and you get a rigid setup with good tool life and finish.
HSS vs carbide: HSS slitting saws cost less and are easy to re-sharpen, so they suit general-purpose work and softer materials. Carbide-tipped saws run faster, hold their edge longer, and are the better choice for steel, stainless and production runs.
Solid vs indexable: a solid saw is replaced or re-sharpened as one piece. An indexable saw has a steel body with replaceable carbide inserts, so only the cutting edges are consumable — the better choice for volume work and for T-slots, keyways and undercuts.
Coarse vs fine pitch: coarse pitch (fewer teeth) clears chips fast and suits aluminium, plastics and roughing cuts. Fine pitch (more teeth) gives a smoother finish and suits steel, stainless and precision finishing passes.
Choosing an arbor: match the arbor bore to the saw bore exactly (common sizes 8mm, 10mm, 16mm, 22mm), check the shank suits your spindle or holder, and keep overhang as short as possible — a shorter reach means a more rigid setup with less runout and vibration.
