Supporting Swiss-Type CNC Lathes, Turning Centers, VMCs, Milling Machines and Automatic Turning Machines Worldwide

In modern precision machining, standard catalog slitting saws often cannot fully meet production requirements.

Applications such as grooving, slotting, parting-off, profile generation, and precision cut-off frequently require customized cutting tools optimized for specific machines, materials, and machining conditions.

At SZJL Cutting Tools, we manufacture custom solid carbide slitting saws for a wide range of machining equipment, including:

• Swiss-Type CNC Lathes
• CNC Turning Centers
• Vertical Machining Centers (VMC)
• Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC)
• CNC Milling Machines
• Automatic Turning Machines

Our custom tooling solutions support precision machining industries across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, India, and other global manufacturing regions.

Why Precision Machining Often Requires Custom Slitting Saws

Standard slitting saws are designed for general machining applications.

However, industries such as medical devices, aerospace, precision connectors, hydraulic systems, electronics, and instrumentation often require tooling with:

• Ultra-thin kerf widths
• Special tooth geometries
• Tight dimensional tolerances
• Improved chip evacuation
• Longer tool life
• Reduced burr formation
• Stable performance in mass production

For high-volume production environments, optimized tooling often provides significantly lower manufacturing costs than standard off-the-shelf products.

Typical Diameter Range Used in Precision Machining

Based on our experience supplying custom tooling for global precision machining applications, the following diameters are among the most common.

Custom diameters outside these ranges can also be manufactured according to customer requirements.

Typical Thickness Range

Precision machining applications frequently require extremely thin cutting widths to minimize material waste and reduce cutting forces.

Common thicknesses include:

Ultra-thin and special thicknesses can be customized according to drawings or samples.

Common Bore Sizes

Inch Bore Sizes

• 3/16″
• 5/16″
• 3/8″
• 1/2″
• 5/8″
• 1″

Metric Bore Sizes

• 8 mm
• 10 mm
• 13 mm
• 16 mm
• 22 mm
• 27 mm
• 32 mm

Both inch and metric bore standards are widely used in global precision machining industries.

Available Tooth Geometries

Different materials and machining conditions require different cutting geometries.

We regularly manufacture:

• Plain Tooth Slitting Saws
• Staggered Tooth Slitting Saws
• Alternate Tooth Designs
• Full Radius Cutters
• Side and Face Cutters
• V-Groove Cutters
• Custom Specialty Profiles

These designs are commonly used for machining:

• Stainless Steel
• Titanium Alloys
• Carbon Steel
• Brass
• Aluminum Alloys
• High-Temperature Alloys

Coating Options

To maximize tool life and cutting performance, coating options include:

• TiAlN
• AlTiN
• TiCN
• DLC
• Uncoated

The final coating recommendation depends on:

• Workpiece material
• Cutting speed
• Feed rate
• Dry or wet machining conditions

Precision Manufacturing Capability

Custom slitting saw manufacturing requires more than simply reproducing dimensions.

Consistent cutting performance depends on manufacturing accuracy and process control.

Our manufacturing capabilities include:

Every production batch is inspected before shipment to ensure dimensional consistency and repeatable cutting performance.

Supporting Global Precision Manufacturing Industries

Although North America traditionally uses inch dimensions and Europe primarily uses metric standards, modern manufacturing is increasingly global.

Swiss CNC lathes, turning centers, and machining centers are widely used across:

• United States
• Germany
• Switzerland
• Italy
• Japan
• Thailand
• Vietnam
• Malaysia
• India
• Mexico

As a result, manufacturers increasingly require suppliers capable of supporting both inch and metric tooling systems.

Custom Manufacturing According to Drawings, Samples or Photos

Not every project begins with a complete engineering drawing.

We regularly manufacture custom slitting saws according to:

• Customer drawings
• Existing samples
• Tool photographs
• Application requirements
• Replacement tooling specifications

Available customization includes:

• Diameter
• Thickness
• Bore size
• Tooth geometry
• Side clearance
• Coating
• Carbide grade
