Value Collection 5-747-205 Slitting Slotting Saw Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-747-205 is a high speed steel slitting and slotting saw designed for precision metal cutting operations on milling machines and arbor-driven setups. With a 5-inch blade diameter and a 5/64-inch (0.0781-inch) blade thickness, this saw produces narrow, accurate slots and kerfs in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1-inch arbor hole with keyway accommodates standard milling arbors, and the 40-tooth straight configuration delivers clean, consistent cuts. The bright, uncoated finish keeps costs low for general-purpose shop use where specialized coatings are not required. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this saw as part of routine slotting, slitting, and screw-slotting operations.

This saw is suited for horizontal and vertical milling machine setups in job shops, production toolrooms, and maintenance environments. The right-hand cutting direction and concave-ground profile reduce side friction and help maintain dimensional accuracy in the cut. It handles slotting keyways, cutting thin sections, and parting operations on a wide range of workpiece materials. A 1-inch arbor hole with keyway provision ensures positive drive and minimal runout when mounted on a properly sized arbor and draw-bar assembly.

Key Features

• 5-inch blade diameter with a tight 0.0781-inch (5/64-inch) thickness for narrow slot work
• 40 straight teeth for consistent chip formation and clean slot finish
• 1-inch arbor hole with keyway for positive drive on standard milling arbors
• Concave-ground blade profile reduces side friction and heat buildup during cuts
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose slitting and slotting applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-inch milling arbors on horizontal and vertical milling machines equipped with right-hand cutting arbor setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before mounting or removing the saw blade. Verify arbor spacers, collars, and the draw-bar are correctly torqued per the machine tool manufacturer's specification before beginning a cut. Inspect the blade for cracks or chipped teeth before each use and never exceed the maximum recommended RPM for the blade diameter.
