Value Collection SS493-1 Side Chip Saw 4 Inch 36T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS493-1 is a high speed steel (HSS) side chip milling saw designed for metal removal in horizontal milling applications. The blade measures 4 inches in diameter with a 3/32 inch thickness and mounts on a 1-1/4 inch arbor. With 36 straight teeth and a right-hand cutting direction, it produces clean, controlled chip evacuation on the sides of a workpiece. The uncoated HSS construction makes it suitable for general-purpose metalworking where re-sharpening is a common maintenance practice. Machinists and tool and die professionals typically install and operate this type of saw on horizontal milling machines in job shop and production environments.

Side chip saws are used in milling operations that require slotting, slitting, or undercutting on metal workpieces. This saw is well suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications where straight tooth geometry provides efficient chip clearing and consistent cutting action. It is typically found in machine shops, maintenance departments, and toolrooms running horizontal milling setups that demand accurate groove and slot dimensions.

Key Features

• 4 inch blade diameter for standard horizontal milling machine fitment
• 3/32 inch blade thickness for narrow slot and groove cutting
• 1-1/4 inch arbor hole for secure, centered mounting
• 36 straight teeth for consistent chip flow and smooth cut finish on metal
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional milling setups
• Uncoated HSS construction supports field re-sharpening to extend tool life

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mount side chip milling saw compatible with horizontal milling machines accepting a 1-1/4 inch arbor and suited for metal material applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the saw blade. Ensure the arbor, spacers, and arbor nut are clean and free of burrs before seating the blade. Verify spindle direction matches the right-hand cutting orientation of this saw before engaging the cut.
