Customer Case: Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Cutter(Diameter70mm，Thickness0.34mm，Bore25.4mm，56T) for Circular Knitting Machine Cylinder Slot Milling
Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Cutter Improves Precision Machining of Circular Knitting Machine Cylinders
The cylinder is one of the most important components in a circular knitting machine. The precision of every needle slot directly influences needle movement, machine stability, knitting performance, and fabric quality. As the textile machinery industry continues to demand higher machining accuracy, manufacturers require cutting tools with excellent wear resistance, dimensional stability, and long service life.
Recently, we supplied a custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Cutter 70×0.34×25.4×56T to a customer specializing in the production of circular knitting machine cylinders. The tool was manufactured according to the customer’s machining requirements and has delivered reliable performance in precision slot milling.
Customer Requirements
The customer manufactures cylinders for high-speed circular knitting machines and required a cutting tool capable of meeting the following machining standards:
- Ultra-thin slot width
- Slot width tolerance within ±0.005 mm
- Excellent slot straightness and parallelism
- Minimal burr formation
- Long tool life
- Stable performance during continuous production
Their previous HSS slitting saws experienced rapid wear, leading to unstable slot dimensions, frequent tool replacement, and lower production efficiency.
Custom Tool Specifications
After reviewing the customer’s machining conditions, we manufactured a custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Cutter with the following specifications:
Specifications
- Diameter: 70 mm
- Thickness: 0.34 mm
- Bore: 25.4 mm
- Teeth: 56T
- Material: Ultra-Fine Grain Solid Carbide
- Application: Circular Knitting Machine Cylinder Slot Milling
The ultra-thin cutter provides excellent rigidity while maintaining high machining accuracy and consistent slot quality.
