The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw — Fine Pitch, Imperial — is a precision 1" diameter slotting cutter designed for machinists who demand clean, accurate cuts in metalworking. With a 1/8" kerf, 1/4" bore, and 50 teeth, it’s built for reliable performance in standard milling setups. Diameter: 1" cutting diameter for precise slotting in tight workpieces Kerf width: 1/8" (0.125") for efficient material removal and clean walls Bore: 1/4" bore to fit common slitting saw adapters andholders Teeth: 50 teeth for a fine pitch that delivers smooth, accurate slots Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) for durability and sharpness retention Ground geometry: Hollow ground to the bore to improve side clearance and reduce binding Kerf tolerance: Precise kerf tolerances within ±0.001" for repeatable results Finish and standards: Bright finish; DIN stock available off the shelf for quick replacement The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is engineered to deliver consistent, burr-minimized slots with a fine finish. The hollow-ground bore reduces side clearance issues, helping the cutter stay true under load and improving stability during cut. With 50 teeth and a fine pitch, you’ll experience smoother walls and more uniform slot dimensions, reducing the need for secondary finishing. The imperial sizing keeps setup straightforward on standard milling machines and adapters, while the sturdy HSS construction stands up to typical slotting speeds and metal types encountered in professional shops.
