Robbjack C12-0040-16-36 Slitting Slotting Saw 36T

Product Description

The ROBBJACK C12-0040-16-36 is a solid carbide slitting and slotting saw designed for precision cutting operations on a wide range of ferrous and hard-to-machine materials. At 1.25 inches in diameter and just 0.004 inches thick, this saw is built for fine slotting, slitting, and burr-relief cuts where blade deflection and kerf width are critical. The 36-tooth, straight-tooth configuration with a 5-degree rake angle and concave-ground face delivers clean, accurate cuts. It mounts via arbor and cuts in the right-hand direction. This tool is used by machinists and toolmakers in CNC and manual milling applications requiring tight tolerances.

This saw is suited for milling operations on cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, super alloys, and titanium. Its solid carbide construction handles the heat and wear demands of these materials without coating, relying on geometry and substrate quality to maintain edge integrity. Typical applications include slitting thin-wall parts, cutting keyways, producing narrow slots, and parting operations on a vertical or horizontal milling machine. The bright uncoated finish makes edge inspection straightforward and supports regrinding when the tool reaches end of life.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and exotic alloys
• 0.004 inch blade thickness for ultra-fine slitting and minimal material removal
• 36 straight teeth with 5-degree rake angle for clean, consistent cuts
• Concave-ground blade face reduces rubbing and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting direction, arbor mount - compatible with standard milling arbors
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy inspection and supports regrinding

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard milling arbors on vertical and horizontal milling machines. Rated for cutting cast iron, stainless steel, steel, super alloys, and titanium per manufacturer material application data.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling cutter safety. Secure the saw firmly on a correctly sized arbor and confirm all clamping hardware is tight before spindle startup. At 0.004 inches thick, this blade is extremely fragile - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feed rate management, and any lateral force that could cause blade fracture. Always use appropriate eye protection and machine guarding in compliance with applicable shop safety standards.
