The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision 5" diameter slotting tool designed for machinists and shops that demand clean, repeatable cuts in metal. With a 1" bore and 42 teeth, this coarse-pitch saw is built to handle robust slotting tasks in ferrous and nonferrous materials.

• Diameter: 5" (127 mm) for deep, efficient slots
• Width / Kerf: 3/64" kerf for steady material removal
• Bore: 1" bore compatible with standard slitting saw setups
• Teeth: 42 teeth to balance cutting speed with edge quality
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS) for toughness and heat resistance
• Pitch: Coarse pitch optimized for heavier-slotting applications
• Construction: Follows DIN stock principles with a bright finish for durability and consistent performance
• Grounding: Hollow-ground to the bore for improved side clearance and reduced rubbing
• Kerf Tolerance: Tolerances within +/- 0.001" for repeatable results

The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is designed to deliver consistent slot quality even under demanding milling conditions. The hollow-ground bore minimizes contact and heat buildup on the workpiece, helping to preserve part accuracy and edge integrity. With its sturdy 5" diameter, 1" bore, and 42-tooth configuration, this saw provides a reliable balance between material removal rate and the precision of the final slot, making it a dependable choice for production runs and detailed repair work alike.
