Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw (Diameter80mm,Thickness0.75mm,Bore31.75mm,40T )for Flat Knitting Machine Needle Bed Slot Milling
In the manufacturing of flat knitting machines, the machining accuracy of the needle bed directly determines the stability, service life, and knitting quality of the machine. Every needle groove must maintain extremely high dimensional accuracy, straightness, and surface finish.
Recently, one of our customers, a professional needle bed manufacturer, required a customized Solid Carbide Slitting Saw for milling needle grooves on flat knitting machine needle beds. Based on the customer’s machining requirements, we supplied a customized 80×0.75×31.75×40T Solid Carbide Slitting Saw (±0.005mm),achieving excellent cutting performance and significantly improving production efficiency.
Customer Requirements
The customer specializes in manufacturing needle beds for high-speed flat knitting machines. During production, they faced several machining challenges:
- Groove width tolerance within ±0.01 mm
- Excellent groove straightness
- Burr-free cutting edges
- Long tool life for continuous production
- High machining consistency
Conventional HSS slitting saws wore quickly, resulting in unstable groove dimensions and frequent tool changes.
Our Customized Solution
After analyzing the customer’s application, our engineering team recommended a custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw with the following specifications:
Tool Specification
- Diameter: 80 mm
- Thickness: 0.75 mm
- Bore: 31.75 mm
- Teeth: 40T
- Material: Premium Ultra-Fine Grain Solid Carbide
- Tooth Geometry: Optimized for precision slot milling
- Application: Needle bed groove milling for flat knitting machines
This design provides excellent rigidity while maintaining the extremely thin cutting width required for precision needle grooves.
Why Solid Carbide Slitting Saw?
