The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision cutting tool designed for metalworkers who need clean, accurate slots with consistent results. This fine-pitch, metric slitting saw delivers dependable performance for slotting in steel, aluminum, and other metals, built to handle demanding milling tasks. Diameter: 63 mm Thickness: 5 mm Bore: 16 mm Teeth: 48 Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) body Pitch: Fine-pitch teeth for smoother, cleaner slots Ground: Hollow ground to the bore for improved side clearance Kerf Tolerance: +/- 0.001 Finish: Bright finish for reliable seating and inspection Standard: Metric DIN stock, ready for use with standard milling setups With its hollow-ground bore and fine-pitch geometry, this slitting saw minimizes rubbing and smoke during cutting, delivering precise slot widths and improved edge quality. The 16 mm bore ensures compatibility with common milling chucks and adapters, while the 63 mm diameter offers a solid balance between material removal and rigidity. The HSS construction provides durability and heat resistance for reliable performance across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Use in conjunction with proper speeds and feeds to achieve burr-free slots, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes in applications such as slotting, keyway preparation, and narrow-cut operations. Ideal for professional workshops and serious hobbyists seeking consistent, high-quality results from a single, purpose-built tool.
