Making a slitting saw arbor
<< < (3/4) > >>
AdeV:
Nice design that John, I reckon I might make one or two of those... I have the problem you describe with my commercial unit - the countersunk screw won't release, and to add insult to injury I may have accidentally bumped that over-sized bottom into my vice, so now the blade wobbles by several thou (obviously, the bigger the blade, the bigger the wobble)...
Stilldrillin:
I've used many slitting saws. But most of my working life I used side n face cutters, for milling splines and such.

ALL of them were eccentric, to a greater or lesser degree......  ::)

I agree with Boggy. It must be the tool grinding!  :doh:

Running eccentric shouldn't really make any difference, as I found it is normally only a couple of thou anyway, but even so, that should help slightly in the cutting, as it is gently being fed into the material by the amount of eccentricity as it goes along.

Just make sure you allow for it if cutting to a critical depth.

Does it matter if the shank is 1/2" or 3/4" stock, locktited in? I'd hate to have to turn  1 3/8" or 1 1/2" stock down to fit the collet.

Hi Chuck

You can make the shank separate for a push or light press fit - and loctite it in.  I would however recommend pinning it as well for additional security.
