Value Collection STS3187 Side Chip Saw 3in Hss 28T

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STS3187 is a side chip saw designed for milling operations on metal workpieces. It features a 3-inch blade diameter and a 3/16-inch (0.1875 inch) blade thickness, with 28 staggered teeth arranged for right-hand cutting. The 1-inch arbor hole fits standard milling machine arbors. Constructed from uncoated high speed steel, this saw is suited for slotting, slitting, and side milling applications where chip clearance and consistent tooth geometry are required. It is a standard off-the-shelf tool for machinists and tool-room professionals working on manual or CNC milling equipment.

This side chip saw is intended for use in metalworking milling applications, including slotting and profiling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The staggered tooth configuration promotes chip evacuation during side milling cuts, reducing heat buildup and improving cut quality. It is a common choice for job shops, maintenance machining, and production milling setups where a reliable arbor-mount saw is needed without a specialty coating requirement.

Key Features

• 3-inch blade diameter for standard milling arbor setups
• 3/16-inch blade thickness (0.1875 inches) for controlled slot width
• 28 staggered teeth for improved chip clearance during side milling
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional milling machine use
• High speed steel construction for metalworking durability
• Uncoated finish; suitable for general-purpose metal milling without coolant-dependent coatings

Compatibility

Designed for use on milling machines equipped with a standard 1-inch arbor. Fits horizontal and universal milling setups that accept arbor-mounted side milling cutters with a 1-inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom professional familiar with milling machine arbor assembly. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing arbor cutters. Ensure the arbor nut, spacers, and arbor support are properly torqued and aligned per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before engaging a cut. Inspect the saw body and teeth for damage before each use.
