Value Collection 5-748-222 Side Chip Saw 28T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-748-222 is a side chip saw designed for precision slotting, slitting, and side-milling operations on metal workpieces. The blade measures 2.5 inches in diameter with a 1/16-inch thickness and seats on a 1-inch arbor. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent cutting performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 28 straight teeth and a right-hand cutting direction, this saw produces clean, accurate cuts in standard milling machine setups. It is a single-piece unit suited for toolroom, maintenance, and production machining environments.

This side chip saw is used in horizontal and vertical milling applications where narrow slotting or side-milling cuts are required. It is appropriate for job shops, toolrooms, and production facilities working with steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The 1-inch arbor hole provides compatibility with standard milling machine arbors commonly found in trade and industrial settings. Machinists and tool and die makers are the primary installers and operators of this type of cutter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the milling machine manufacturer's procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the arbor nut to the manufacturer's specified torque and verify blade seating before operation. Always use appropriate eye protection and guards per applicable shop safety standards.
