The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw – Fine Pitch, Imperial is a precision cutting tool built for professional mills that demand clean, accurate slots. This 3" diameter slitting saw features a 0.051" kerf, a 1" bore, and 170 teeth to deliver tight tolerances and repeatable results in metalworking tasks.

• Diameter: 3" (76.2 mm) cutting diameter tailored for precise slotting
• Teeth: 170 teeth for a fine-pitch profile and smooth cutting action
• Kerf: 0.051" (1.3 mm) width to create narrow, accurate slots
• Bore: 1" (25.4 mm) bore fits standard slitting saw arbors
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS) construction for heat resistance and durability
• Ground geometry: Hollow-ground to the bore for improved side clearance and reduced rubbing
• Kerf tolerance: Tight tolerance of ±0.001" to maintain consistent slot width
• Finish: Bright finish for easy inspection and reduced buildup
• Best used with: Suitable for slotting in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum during milling

This slitting saw is designed to deliver reliable, repeatable performance in demanding production environments. The fine-pitch 170-teeth configuration provides crisp edges and minimal burrs, helping you achieve precise slot widths with fewer finishing steps. The hollow-ground design minimizes side rubbing, extending tool life and maintaining straight, true cuts. With a 1" arbor bore, it integrates smoothly with standard equipment, making setup quick and downtime minimal. For best results, pair it with appropriate cutting fluid and use light, steady feeds to preserve edge life and achieve consistent results across multiple slots.
