Customer Case: 4″ × 0.103″ × 1″ Arbor × 36T Solid Carbide Slitting Saw
Custom 4-Inch Solid Carbide Slitting Saw with 36 Teeth
A customer required a custom solid carbide slitting saw with a specific combination of outside diameter, blade thickness, arbor size, tooth count, and hub diameter.
Based on the customer’s specification, we manufactured:
4″ × 0.103″ × 1″ Arbor × 36T × 2-1/2″ Hub Solid Carbide Slitting Saw
The tool was produced according to the customer’s required dimensions and mounting configuration. This project demonstrates our ability to manufacture custom solid carbide slitting saws for different industrial cutting and machining requirements.
Tool Specification
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Tool Type | Solid Carbide Slitting Saw |
| Outside Diameter | 4″ |
| Blade Thickness | 0.103″ |
| Arbor / Bore | 1″ |
| Number of Teeth | 36T |
| Hub Diameter | 2-1/2″ |
| Material | Solid Carbide |
| Manufacturing | Custom Made |
4-Inch Diameter with 0.103-Inch Thickness
The 4-inch outside diameter provides a relatively large cutting diameter for applications requiring a larger slitting saw.
The 0.103-inch blade thickness provides a relatively narrow kerf compared with thicker saws, making this configuration suitable for applications where controlled material removal and a specific cutting width are required.
Blade thickness can be customized according to the customer’s application, workpiece, required kerf, cutting depth, and tooling system.
36-Tooth Solid Carbide Slitting Saw
This tool features 36 teeth.
Tooth count and tooth geometry are important factors in slitting saw performance. Depending on the workpiece material and cutting conditions, the tooth design can be customized to achieve the required balance between cutting efficiency, chip space, cutting stability, and surface finish.
Different tooth configurations are available, including:
- Straight tooth
- Alternate / staggered tooth
- Radius tooth
- Special tooth geometry
The appropriate design can be developed according to the customer’s specific requirements.
1″ Arbor and 2-1/2″ Hub
The customer specified a 1-inch arbor and 2-1/2-inch hub for this slitting saw.
The mounting dimensions were manufactured according to the customer’s required tooling configuration.
For a custom slitting saw, the relationship between the outside diameter, blade thickness, arbor, hub, and tooth configuration needs to be considered as a complete tool design rather than as individual dimensions.
Solid Carbide Construction
The saw is manufactured from solid carbide, providing a rigid cutting structure suitable for precision cutting and machining applications.
Solid carbide slitting saws can be manufactured in different carbide grades depending on the workpiece material and cutting requirements.
Coating options can also be customized when required to improve wear resistance and adapt the tool to specific cutting conditions.
Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Manufacturing
This project was manufactured according to the customer’s specified dimensions rather than selected as a standard stock item.
The final configuration was:
4″ × 0.103″ × 1″ Arbor × 36T × 2-1/2″ Hub
We can customize a wide range of parameters for solid carbide slitting saws, including:
- Outside diameter
- Blade thickness
- Arbor / bore
- Tooth count
- Tooth geometry
- Rake angle
- Clearance angle
- Radius geometry
- Carbide grade
- Coating
- Dimensional tolerances
- Hub configuration
This allows the finished tool to be matched to different machines, tooling systems, workpiece materials, and cutting requirements.
Applications
Depending on the tool geometry and cutting conditions, solid carbide slitting saws can be used for applications such as:
- Slotting
- Grooving
- Narrow-slot cutting
- Part separation
- Precision cutting
- Component machining
- Industrial metalworking
The final tooth geometry, carbide grade, coating, and cutting parameters should be selected according to the specific application.
