Low profile slitting saw arbor

[mklotz]

Hey Marv,

Any known traps to look out for when using these carbide tipped wood blades ?

Am running mine - 3.5" diameter -at 200 rpm and it seems to work just fine on mild steel.

I haven't run into any "gotchas" yet so I can't offer anything to avoid. The fact that the blade tips make a kerf wider than the blade body means that the hangups so frequently witnessed with conventional slitting saws are naturally avoided. Your speed of 200 rpm works out to about 180 sfm which is a bit on the low side for steel but very reasonable.
