Custom Case | Carbide Slitting Saw 75 × 1.3 × 22 mm, 60 Teeth for Aerospace Fasteners Machining
Project Background
A customer specializing in aerospace fasteners and precision rubber components required a custom carbide slitting saw for narrow slot machining in a high-precision production environment.
The application involved demanding requirements for dimensional accuracy, edge quality, and production consistency. Existing tooling suffered from premature wear and burr formation, increasing secondary finishing operations and production costs.
To improve process stability and cutting efficiency, a custom solid carbide slitting saw was manufactured according to the customer’s specifications.
Custom Tool Specification
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Cutter Type | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw |
| Diameter (OD) | 75 mm (2.953″) |
| Thickness | 1.3 mm (0.051″) |
| Bore | 22 mm (0.866″) |
| Teeth | 60T |
| Material | Solid Tungsten Carbide |
| Coating | Uncoated |
| Application | Aerospace Fasteners and Rubber Components |
The customer selected an uncoated carbide solution for this project. Depending on workpiece material and machining conditions, PVD coatings such as TiAlN, AlCrN, and DLC can also be applied to improve wear resistance and extend tool life.
Challenges of Thin Slot Machining in Aerospace Applications
Precision slotting operations in aerospace manufacturing often involve:
- Extremely tight dimensional tolerances
- Strict burr and edge quality requirements
- Continuous production cycles
- Thin cutting widths with limited margin for vibration
- High-value workpieces where scrap reduction is critical
Maintaining cutting stability while producing narrow slots is essential for ensuring consistent product quality.
Customized Solution
The 75 mm diameter provides improved cutting reach and allows greater cutting depth compared with smaller cutters.
The ultra-thin 1.3 mm kerf helps reduce material loss and cutting forces, making it suitable for precision components where material utilization and dimensional accuracy are important.
A 60-tooth configuration was selected to balance cutting smoothness and chip evacuation, helping maintain stable cutting performance during long production runs.
Combined with the rigidity and wear resistance of solid carbide, the customized cutter delivered reliable performance in demanding aerospace manufacturing conditions.
Results Achieved
Following implementation, the customer reported several improvements:
- More stable cutting performance
- Reduced burr formation
- Improved dimensional consistency
- Lower tooling replacement frequency
- Reduced machine downtime
The customized carbide slitting saw became a standard tool within the customer’s production process for aerospace-related components.
