Description
The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw in Fine Pitch is a precision cutting tool engineered for metalworking professionals who demand clean, accurate slots. Designed for metric machines and a 32 mm diameter, this saw pairs a robust HSS body with a fine tooth count to deliver dependable performance in production and prototyping projects.
- Diameter: 32 mm
- Bore: 8 mm
- Kerf: 1.6 mm
- Teeth: 48
- Pitch: Fine
- Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS)
- Ground geometry: Hollow-ground to the bore for side clearance
- Finish: Bright, corrosion-resistant surface
- Stock: DIN metric stock, ready-to-use
- Tolerances: Kerf accuracy within ±0.001
The combination of 48 teeth and a fine pitch is ideal for producing narrow, precise slots with smooth edges, reducing finishing time and improving fit in mechanical assemblies. The hollow-ground bore minimizes binding and heat buildup by improving side clearance during cutting, helping maintain dimensional accuracy across each pass.
This slitting saw is particularly well-suited for slotting in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other common metals. With an 8 mm bore, it integrates easily with standard milling machines and tool holders, enabling quick changes on busy shops floors. The metric sizing and premium HSS construction provide a reliable balance of toughness and wear resistance for everyday slotting tasks, from prototyping to small-batch production. For best results, pair with appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication, ensure solid workholding, and maintain clear chip evacuation to keep the kerf clean and consistent across runs.
