Value Collection 5-747-300 Slitting Slotting Saw 8in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-747-300 is an 8-inch diameter slitting and slotting saw designed for precision cutting operations on metalworking mills and arbor-driven machines. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this saw measures 1/8 inch thick and carries 48 straight teeth configured for right-hand cutting. The concave-ground blade geometry reduces friction and helps clear chips during deep slotting passes. A keyway is included in the arbor hole for positive drive engagement. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this saw for slitting, slotting, and undercutting operations where tight tolerances and consistent tooth geometry are required.

This saw suits production and toolroom environments where accurate slitting or slotting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals is performed. The 8-inch diameter and 1/8-inch blade thickness make it appropriate for deeper reach applications on horizontal or vertical milling machines using a standard arbor setup. The right-hand cutting direction and straight tooth configuration are standard for general-purpose milling saw work. Machinists working on fixture components, keyways, or narrow channel slots will find the 48-tooth count suited to fine, controlled cuts.

Key Features

• 8-inch blade diameter with a plus 0.015-inch diameter tolerance for controlled fitment
• 1/8-inch blade thickness with a plus 0.001-inch thickness tolerance for precise slot width
• 48 straight teeth in a right-hand cutting configuration
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Concave-ground blade face reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• Arbor hole includes keyway for positive rotational drive engagement
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup that could affect critical dimensions

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard arbor-driven milling machines that accept an 8-inch slitting saw with an arbor hole matching the 5-747-300 specifications; verify arbor hole diameter against your machine arbor before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the blade. Verify arbor diameter, keyway alignment, and all arbor nut torque requirements per the machine manufacturer guidelines before operation. Inspect the blade for cracks or chipped teeth before each use and never exceed the rated cutting speed for the blade diameter.
