Custom Case | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw 47 × 0.19 × 16 mm, 72 Teeth for Fasteners and Stamped Components
Project Background
A manufacturer specializing in fasteners and precision stamped components required an ultra-thin solid carbide slitting saw for high-precision slotting operations.
The application involved machining nuts, screws, and various stamped metal parts with extremely tight dimensional tolerances and strict burr control requirements. Due to the ultra-thin cutting width, conventional cutters often experienced instability, rapid wear, and inconsistent slot quality during continuous production.
To meet these demanding requirements, 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) | 47 mm (1.850″) |
| Thickness | 0.19 mm (0.0075″) |
| Bore | 16 mm (0.630″) |
| Teeth | 72T |
| Material | Solid Tungsten Carbide |
| Coating | Uncoated |
| Application | Fasteners and Stamped Components |
The customer selected an uncoated carbide cutter based on their machining process and material characteristics.
Customized PVD coatings such as TiAlN, AlCrN, and DLC are also available to improve wear resistance and increase tool life in high-volume production environments.
Challenges in Ultra-Thin Slotting of Fasteners
Machining ultra-thin slots in fasteners and stamped components presents several technical challenges:
- Maintaining slot width consistency at extremely small dimensions
- Preventing burr formation on finished parts
- Reducing vibration during cutting
- Minimizing tooth chipping risks
- Maintaining stable production performance over long runs
For manufacturers producing large volumes of fasteners, tooling reliability directly impacts productivity and product quality.
Customized Solution
The 47 mm diameter cutter was designed to suit the customer’s machine setup and machining requirements.
With an ultra-thin cutting width of only 0.19 mm, the cutter minimizes material loss while producing highly precise and consistent slots.
The 72-tooth design distributes cutting loads across more teeth, reducing vibration and improving cutting smoothness, which is especially important for thin-slot applications.
Manufactured from premium solid tungsten carbide, the cutter delivers exceptional rigidity and wear resistance despite its extremely thin profile.
Results Achieved
After implementation, the customer achieved several improvements:
- Improved slot dimensional accuracy
- Reduced burr formation
- More stable cutting performance
- Longer production runs between tool changes
- Improved production efficiency
The custom carbide slitting saw became a reliable tooling solution for the customer’s fastener manufacturing process.
