Custom Case | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw 63.5 × 0.6096 × 25.4 mm, 72 Teeth for Eyewear Component Milling
Project Background
A manufacturer of precision eyewear components required a custom solid carbide slitting saw for high-precision milling operations used in the production of eyeglass frame components and optical hardware.
The application involved extremely tight dimensional tolerances, excellent surface finish requirements, and consistent machining quality during batch production. Due to the small size and high value of the components, burr formation and dimensional variation had to be minimized.
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) | 63.5 mm (2.500″) |
| Thickness | 0.6096 mm (0.024″) |
| Bore | 25.4 mm (1.000″) |
| Teeth | 72T |
| Material | Solid Tungsten Carbide |
| Coating | Optional |
| Application | Eyewear Components |
The customer selected an uncoated carbide cutter for this project.
For higher cutting speeds or difficult materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, or specialty frame materials, customized PVD coatings such as TiAlN, AlCrN, and DLC are also available to improve wear resistance and extend tool life.
Challenges in Eyewear Component Manufacturing
Precision eyewear components require exceptional machining quality to ensure both product performance and appearance.
Typical machining challenges include:
- Maintaining tight dimensional tolerances
- Controlling burr formation on small components
- Achieving excellent surface finishes
- Preventing deformation of thin sections
- Maintaining consistent quality in mass production
Because many eyewear components undergo additional finishing or assembly operations, machining quality directly affects downstream manufacturing efficiency.
Customized Solution
The custom 2.5-inch carbide slitting saw was optimized specifically for precision eyewear component machining.
The ultra-thin 0.024-inch cutting width minimizes material removal while reducing cutting forces and improving machining stability.
The 72-tooth design provides smooth cutting action and excellent surface quality while minimizing burr formation.
Manufactured from premium solid tungsten carbide, the cutter delivers excellent rigidity and wear resistance, ensuring stable machining performance throughout long production runs.
Optional PVD coatings can further improve cutting performance and tool life for demanding applications.
Results Achieved
After implementation, the customer achieved several improvements:
- Improved dimensional consistency
- Reduced burr formation
- Better surface quality
- Longer tool life
- Increased production efficiency
The customized carbide slitting saw became a reliable production tool for the customer’s eyewear component manufacturing process.
