Value Collection 5-745-325 Slitting Slotting Saw 72T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-745-325 is a high speed steel slitting and slotting saw designed for precision cutting applications in metalworking and machining environments. The blade measures 2.75 inches in diameter and 0.023 inches thick, delivering the narrow kerf required for slotting, slitting, and undercutting operations. The 1-inch arbor hole with keyway accepts standard arbor mandrels used on milling machines and machining centers. With 72 straight teeth and a bright, uncoated finish, this saw is suited for general-purpose cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a coating is not required. Installation and use is performed by machinists and tool and die professionals.

This saw is a standard choice for milling machine setups where slitting, slotting, or parting operations are performed. The right-hand cutting direction and straight tooth configuration make it compatible with conventional milling machine arbor setups. The concave-ground blade body provides side clearance to reduce friction and heat buildup during cuts. It is commonly used in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments for both prototype and repeat-run work.

Key Features

• 2.75-inch blade diameter with plus 0.0150-inch diameter tolerance for consistent fitment
• 0.023-inch blade thickness provides a narrow kerf suitable for precision slitting and slotting
• 72 straight teeth for smooth, controlled cuts in a variety of materials
• 1-inch arbor hole with keyway ensures positive drive engagement on milling arbors
• Concave-ground body provides side clearance to minimize rubbing and heat
• Bright, uncoated high speed steel construction suitable for general-purpose machining applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mounted slitting and slotting saw for use on milling machines and machining centers equipped with a 1-inch arbor mandrel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. The milling machine must be fully powered down and the spindle locked before mounting or removing the saw on the arbor. Verify arbor mandrel diameter and keyway alignment before tightening the arbor nut to the manufacturer specification for that arbor assembly. Confirm cutting direction matches spindle rotation before engaging the workpiece.
