Value Collection 5-748-290 Side Chip Saw 4in 36T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-748-290 is a side chip saw designed for precision slotting, grooving, and side-milling operations on metal workpieces. Built from uncoated high speed steel, this saw delivers consistent cutting performance in light to moderate machining applications. The blade measures 4 inches in diameter with a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) thickness, and mounts on a 1 inch arbor. Its 36 straight teeth produce clean, predictable chip formation on the sides of a cut. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this style of cutter on horizontal milling machines, arbor-type mills, and manual machining centers where side-chip geometry is required.

This side chip saw is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal milling tasks in production shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments. The straight tooth configuration is appropriate for materials that do not require a helical or alternating tooth profile, making setup and regrinding straightforward. The 1 inch arbor connection is a standard industrial dimension compatible with common horizontal mill arbors. It is sold individually and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 4 inch blade diameter for standard side-milling depth of cut
• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) blade thickness for narrow slot and groove applications
• 36 straight teeth for consistent chip load and surface finish on metal
• High speed steel construction provides toughness and regrindability
• Uncoated finish allows direct inspection of tool wear and simplifies regrinding
• 1 inch arbor hole fits standard horizontal milling machine arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom addition for horizontal milling machines and arbor mills that accept a 1 inch arbor connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Ensure the arbor, spacers, and cutter are clean and free of chips before assembly, and torque the arbor nut according to the machine manufacturer specifications. Verify blade runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut.
