Custom Case | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw 63 × 0.5 × 16 mm, 48 Teeth for Eyewear Component Milling
Project Background
An eyewear component manufacturer required a custom solid carbide slitting saw for precision milling operations used in the production of metal eyeglass frame components and optical hardware parts.
The application required excellent dimensional consistency, clean slot edges, and reliable tool life during continuous production. Due to the small size and thin geometry of many eyewear components, burr control and cutting stability were critical to maintaining product quality.
To meet these 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) | 63 mm (2.480″) |
| Thickness | 0.5 mm (0.020″) |
| Bore | 16 mm (0.630″) |
| Teeth | 48T |
| Material | Solid Tungsten Carbide |
| Coating | Optional |
| Application | Eyewear Component Milling |
The customer selected an uncoated cutter for this project.
For higher cutting speeds or difficult materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, or nickel silver commonly used in premium eyewear products, customized PVD coatings such as TiAlN, AlCrN, and DLC are also available.
Challenges in Eyewear Component Manufacturing
Manufacturing precision eyewear components requires stable machining performance and excellent edge quality.
Common machining challenges include:
- Burr formation on thin metal components
- Maintaining consistent slot dimensions
- Preventing deformation during machining
- Achieving high-quality surface finishes
- Maintaining stable tool life during long production runs
Because many eyewear components proceed directly to polishing, coating, or assembly operations, machining quality has a significant impact on downstream production efficiency.
Customized Solution
The custom 63 mm carbide slitting saw was specifically optimized for narrow-slot milling in eyewear components.
The 0.5 mm cutting width minimizes material removal and cutting forces while maintaining excellent dimensional accuracy.
The 48-tooth configuration provides an effective balance between cutting smoothness and chip evacuation, ensuring stable machining performance during continuous production.
Manufactured from premium solid tungsten carbide, the cutter offers outstanding rigidity and wear resistance for demanding precision applications.
Optional PVD coatings can further improve wear resistance and extend tool life when machining abrasive materials or operating at higher cutting speeds.
Results Achieved
Following implementation, the customer reported several improvements:
- Improved slot dimensional consistency
- Reduced burr formation
- Better edge quality
- Longer tool life
- Increased production efficiency
The customized carbide slitting saw became a reliable tooling solution for the customer’s eyewear component production line.
