Value Collection 5-748-298 Side Chip Saw 4 in 36T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-748-298 is a side chip saw designed for precision slotting, grooving, and side milling operations on metalworking machines. The blade measures 4 inches in diameter and 3/32 inches thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole for secure spindle mounting. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this saw offers dependable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight tooth configuration and 36-tooth count deliver clean, consistent chip evacuation on manual and CNC horizontal milling setups. At 0.28 pounds, it is a lightweight tool suited for repetitive production work.

This side chip saw is used in machine shop environments for horizontal milling, keyway cutting, and thin-slot operations. It is a standard arbor-mount design compatible with horizontal milling machines that accept a 1-inch arbor. Typical applications include production machining, toolroom work, and maintenance operations where precise side milling of steel, cast iron, and aluminum is required. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

Key Features

• 4-inch blade diameter suited for shallow-to-medium depth slotting and grooving
• 3/32-inch blade thickness (0.0938 inches decimal) for precise, narrow slot cutting
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 36 straight teeth for clean chip evacuation and consistent cut quality
• Bright, uncoated finish for broad material compatibility without coating-related heat concerns
• 1-inch arbor hole for standard horizontal milling machine spindle fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an arbor-mount side chip saw for horizontal milling machines with a 1-inch arbor spindle diameter. Confirm machine spindle speed and arbor clearance before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the blade. Secure the blade firmly on the arbor with the appropriate spacers, collars, and drawbar torque per the machine manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use and never exceed the rated surface speed for the blade diameter and HSS material.
