    The new slotting saw arbor is the better and safer way to do this work on my small Unimat. Previously, I had used a commercially available slotting/slitting saw arbor held in my Unimat 3-jaw chuck but there was no way to prevent it from coming loose. I do not recommend doing the cutting this way as shown in the photo. The new arbor will make this work safer to do.

    Definitely safer...a lot of spun mass there...wouldn't be pretty if something went hinky. Your new arbor is a beaut, and will be much closer coupled than the old way! Thanks for the comparison. ~PJ
