Customer Case: Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw( Diameter85mm,Thickness1.25mm,Bore31.75mm,56T )for Flat Knitting Machine Needle Bed Slot Milling
Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw Improves Needle Bed Machining Efficiency
The needle bed is one of the most important precision components in a flat knitting machine. Every needle groove must be machined with high accuracy to ensure smooth needle movement, stable machine operation, and consistent fabric quality. As the demand for high-speed and high-precision flat knitting machines continues to grow, manufacturers require cutting tools that provide excellent accuracy, wear resistance, and long service life.
Recently, we supplied a custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw 85×1.25×31.75mm×56T to a customer specializing in the production of flat knitting machine needle beds. Manufactured according to the customer’s machining requirements, the tool has delivered stable performance in precision slot milling and helped improve overall production efficiency.
Customer Requirements
The customer produces precision needle beds for flat knitting machines and required a cutting tool capable of meeting the following machining standards:
- High-precision needle groove machining
- Stable groove width and depth
- Excellent groove straightness
- Minimal burr formation
- Long tool life during continuous production
- Consistent machining quality in large production batches
Their previous cutting tools wore quickly during continuous machining, resulting in unstable groove dimensions, more frequent tool changes, and increased production costs.
Custom Tool Specifications
According to the customer’s drawings and machining requirements, we manufactured the following solid carbide slitting saw:
Specifications
- Diameter: 85 mm
- Thickness: 1.25 mm
- Bore: 31.75 mm
- Teeth: 56T
- Material: Ultra-Fine Grain Solid Carbide
- Application: Flat Knitting Machine Needle Bed Slot Milling
The combination of a rigid cutter body and precision-ground teeth ensures smooth cutting performance, high dimensional accuracy, and excellent machining consistency.
Advantages of Solid Carbide Slitting Saws
Compared with conventional HSS slitting saws, solid carbide slitting saws provide several advantages:
