Value Collection 5-747-201 Slitting Slotting Saw Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-747-201 is a high speed steel slitting and slotting saw designed for precision cutting operations on metalworking lathes, milling machines, and arbor-driven setups. With a 5-inch blade diameter and a 1/16-inch thickness, this saw produces narrow, accurate slots and cuts in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The bright, uncoated finish maintains close tolerances straight from the factory. Forty straight teeth deliver clean, consistent cutting action in right-hand rotation. It mounts via a standard arbor connection with a keyway for positive drive engagement. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of blade.

This saw is suited for slotting, slitting, and cutoff operations in job shop, maintenance, and production machining environments. It performs well when mounted on horizontal or vertical milling machines using a standard arbor and spacer setup. The 1/16-inch blade thickness makes it appropriate for narrow-slot work where material removal must be kept to a minimum. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional milling spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 5-inch blade diameter with a blade diameter tolerance of plus 0.0150 inches for consistent fit on arbors
• 1/16-inch blade thickness with a thickness tolerance of plus 0.001 inches for precise slot width control
• 40 straight teeth for clean, uniform cuts in right-hand rotation
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Concave-ground blade body with keyway for secure, centered arbor mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard arbor setups on horizontal and vertical milling machines that accept slitting saw arbors with a keyway drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine arbor setups. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the blade. Ensure the arbor diameter, spacers, and nut are correctly matched to the saw bore and keyway before applying torque to the retaining nut. Inspect the blade for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the rated spindle speed for the blade diameter.
