The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision 5-inch tool designed for machinists and fabricators who need narrow, accurate slots with clean edges. Built with high-speed steel, it delivers dependable performance on a range of metals when mounted on standard milling arbors.

• Diameter: 5" (127 mm) overall cutting diameter
• Bore: 1" (25.4 mm) through bore for universal arbors
• Teeth: 42 teeth for a balanced cut between speed and finish
• Kerf Width: 1/32" kerf for tight, controlled slots
• Coarse Pitch: Coarse tooth spacing optimized for rapid material removal
• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) construction for durability and sharpness
• Grinding: Hollow ground to the bore to improve side clearance and reduce binding
• Kerf Tolerance: Tight tolerances with kerf within +/- 0.001"
• Application: Ideal for slotting, narrow slots, and light milling on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Compatibility: Designed to fit common slitting saw arbors and milling setups

With the Vortex HSS Slitting Saw, you gain consistent, precise slots and reliable edge finishes. The hollow-ground bore helps minimize binding and improves chip clearance, enabling smoother operation at higher feeds. The 42-tooth geometry delivers a good balance between fast material removal and a clean cut, reducing burrs on aluminum, steel, and other metals. The 1/32" kerf keeps the cut narrow for accurate slotting, while the robust HSS construction resists wear for longer tool life in everyday shop use. This saw is well-suited for creating narrow keyways, fixture pockets, and maintenance slots where tight tolerances matter.
