Customer Case: Custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw(Diameter102mm,Thickness1.74mm,Bore31.75mm,72T) for Flat Knitting Machine Needle Bed Slot Milling
High-Performance Solid Carbide Slitting Saw for Precision Needle Bed Machining
Flat knitting machine needle beds require extremely precise slot machining to ensure smooth needle movement, accurate knitting, and reliable machine performance. Even small variations in slot dimensions can affect the efficiency of the machine and the quality of the finished fabric. For this reason, manufacturers continue to seek cutting tools that deliver excellent dimensional accuracy, long tool life, and consistent machining performance.
To support one of our customers in needle bed production, we manufactured a custom Solid Carbide Slitting Saw 102×1.74×31.75mm×72T. The cutter was produced according to the customer’s drawings and machining requirements and has been successfully applied in precision slot milling for flat knitting machine needle beds.
Customer Requirements
The customer specializes in manufacturing needle beds for flat knitting machines and required a cutting tool capable of achieving:
- Accurate and consistent slot dimensions
- Excellent groove straightness
- Stable cutting performance during long production runs
- Minimal burr formation
- High tool durability
- Reliable quality in mass production
The previous cutting tools experienced noticeable wear after continuous machining, increasing tool replacement frequency and reducing production efficiency.
Custom Tool Specifications
Based on the customer’s machining requirements, we manufactured the following solid carbide slitting saw:
Specifications
- Diameter: 102 mm
- Thickness: 1.74 mm
- Bore: 31.75 mm
- Teeth: 72T
- Material: Ultra-Fine Grain Solid Carbide
- Application: Flat Knitting Machine Needle Bed Slot Milling
The larger diameter and 72-tooth configuration provide smooth cutting action, excellent rigidity, and stable machining performance for precision needle bed production.
