The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw (Coarse Pitch, Imperial) is a precision cutting tool built for slotting and light milling in metalworking. Designed for machinists and shop environments, it delivers reliable, clean kerfs and steady performance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

  • Diameter: 2.5" (63.5 mm) cutting diameter for versatile slotting and light milling
  • Width: 1/16" (1.6 mm) thickness for precise, narrow slots
  • Bore: 1" (25.4 mm) compatible with common imperial arbors
  • Teeth: 28 teeth for a balanced pace of material removal and cut quality
  • Material: High-speed steel (HSS) for toughness and heat resistance
  • Pitch: Coarse pitch optimized for faster removal in slotting applications
  • Ground to Bore: Hollow ground to the bore to improve side clearance and reduce rubbing
  • Kerf Tolerance: Tight kerf tolerance within +/- 0.001" for consistent cuts

This slitting saw is engineered to deliver dependable performance in busy shops: it maintains precise kerf, minimizes heat buildup, and supports longer tool life through stable engagement and controlled material removal. Ideal for operators performing slots, trims, or light milling in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using standard imperial tooling setups.
