Custom Case | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Ø85 × 0.44 × Ø25.4 mm & Ø85 × 0.55 × Ø25.4 mm for Circular Knitting Machine Needle Cylinder Groove Milling
Customer Application
A customer in the circular knitting machine industry required a customized solid carbide slitting saw for precision groove milling on circular knitting machine needle cylinders.
The machining process required a thin and high-precision cutting tool to machine accurate grooves on the needle cylinder surface while maintaining excellent surface quality and dimensional stability.
Machining Challenges
Before customization, the customer experienced several problems with the existing cutting tools:
- Insufficient cutting performance during needle cylinder groove milling
- High cutting resistance during machining
- Difficulty achieving stable groove quality
- Burrs generated on the machined groove edges
The customer needed a customized carbide slitting saw that could improve cutting efficiency and reduce burr formation.
