The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw – Fine Pitch (Imperial) is a precision cutting tool built for machinists who need clean, narrow slots with repeatable results. With a 3" diameter, 0.020" kerf, 1" bore, and 120 teeth, this fine-pitch saw delivers smooth, accurate cuts on metal in a variety of applications. Diameter: 3" slitting saw for precise, narrow-slot cutting Kerf: 0.020" width to minimize material removal while maintaining cut integrity Bore: 1" bore compatible with standard slitting saw arbors Teeth: 120 teeth, providing a fine pitch for clean edges and smooth finishes Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) body engineered for heat resistance and long tool life Tooth Geometry: Fine-pitch design optimized for controlled chip load and consistent results Grounding: Hollow ground to the bore for side clearance and kerf accuracy within ±0.001" This combination of geometry and construction translates to practical benefits: precise slotting with minimal material removal, cleaner edges, and reliable performance under demanding milling conditions. The 1" arbor fit ensures compatibility with common milling setups, enabling quick tool changes and repeatable results across steel, aluminum, and other alloys. Ideal for producing keyways, narrow relief slots, or prototypes where exact slot dimensions are essential, the Vortex fine-pitch slitting saw is designed to deliver dependable, professional-grade performance.
