Description

The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision cutting tool designed for machinists and shops that demand clean, accurately sized slots. This imperial-sized slitting saw is built for dependable performance on a 5" diameter, with a 1" bore and 42 teeth, making it ideal for slotting operations on milling machines and CNC setups.

  • Diameter: 5 inches
  • Coarse Pitch: Coarse tooth geometry for faster material removal in slotting applications
  • Teeth: 42 teeth for a balanced blend of aggressiveness and cut quality
  • Width / Kerf: 1/16 inch kerf
  • Bore: 1 inch bore to fit standard 1" arbors
  • Material: High-speed steel (HSS) for durability and reliable performance in metal
  • Ground: Hollow ground to the bore for improved side clearance and reduced rubbing
  • Kerf Tolerance: Kerf tolerance within ±0.001 inch for consistent, repeatable cuts

Designed to withstand the heat and wear of slotting tasks, this HSS slitting saw delivers consistent cut quality across passes while maintaining precise dimensions. The hollow-ground bore minimizes friction at the arbor interface, helping to extend tool life and reduce deflection during heavy material removal. Whether you’re slotting steel, aluminum, or other metals, this 5" slitting saw offers reliable performance and a straightforward setup for efficient production or prototyping work.
