Value Collection 5-748-258 Side Chip Saw 3in 32T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-748-258 is a high speed steel (HSS) side chip saw designed for precision milling and slotting operations in metalworking environments. With a 3-inch blade diameter and a 3/32-inch blade thickness, this saw mounts on a 1-inch arbor and delivers clean, controlled cuts in a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight tooth configuration and uncoated HSS construction make it a dependable choice for general-purpose side chipping applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals typically install and operate this style of saw on horizontal or vertical milling machines.

This side chip saw suits light to medium-duty slotting, slitting, and side-milling work in job shop and production machining environments. The 32-tooth count provides a balance between cutting speed and surface finish quality, making it appropriate for work on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where tight tolerances and controlled chip evacuation are required. Its arbor-mount connection fits standard 1-inch arbor setups common on knee mills and CNC horizontal spindles.

Key Features

• 3-inch blade diameter suited for shallow slotting and side-milling cuts
• 3/32-inch blade thickness for controlled kerf width
• 1-inch arbor hole fits standard milling machine arbors
• 32 straight teeth for general-purpose chip clearance and surface finish
• High speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• Uncoated finish allows for easy resharpening by tool grinders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style side chip saw for use on horizontal and vertical milling machines equipped with a 1-inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the saw blade. Ensure arbor flanges, spacers, and drawbar hardware are properly seated and torqued according to the machine specifications before operation. Inspect the blade for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the recommended spindle speed for the blade diameter.
