Value Collection 5-748-340 Side Chip Saw 5in 40T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-748-340 is a side chip saw designed for precision slotting, grooving, and side milling operations on metalworking machines. The blade measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) thickness and mounts on a 1 inch arbor. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent performance across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 40-tooth straight-tooth configuration produces clean, accurate cuts in right-hand cutting direction. This saw is a standard arbor-mount tool suited for horizontal and universal milling setups.

This side chip saw is used in machine shop environments for slotting, straddle milling, and gang milling applications. Its compact 5 inch diameter and 1/16 inch thickness make it well suited for narrow groove work and close-tolerance slotting passes on mill tables. Machinists and toolroom operators working with steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials will find the straight tooth geometry appropriate for general-purpose side milling work on manual and CNC horizontal mills.

Key Features

• 5 inch blade diameter for standard horizontal mill arbor setups
• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) blade thickness for narrow slotting and grooving
• 40 straight teeth for clean, consistent side milling cuts
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of work materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or flake during cutting
• Right-hand cutting direction, 1 inch arbor hole for secure machine mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mount side chip saw compatible with horizontal milling machines accepting a 1 inch arbor and accommodating a 5 inch diameter blade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for arbor-mounted saw blades. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the blade. Ensure the arbor, spacers, and arbor nut are clean and free of burrs before seating the saw. Verify that blade diameter and arbor size match the machine specifications before operation.
