The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision cutting tool designed for slotting and light milling in metalworking. Built for professional machinists, it combines a 3" diameter with a fine-pitch 144-tooth arrangement to deliver clean, accurate slots in a range of metals.

• Diameter: 3" (76.2 mm)
• Teeth: 144 teeth, fine-pitch configuration for smooth slotting and high-quality finishes
• Kerf: 0.020" kerf for minimal material waste and precise cut widths
• Bore: 1" bore compatible with standard slitting-saw arbors
• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) body for durability and heat resistance
• Ground geometry: Hollow-ground bore to enhance side clearance and reduce rubbing; kerf tolerance within +/- 0.001"
• Finish: Bright finish to aid visibility and corrosion resistance

This slitting saw is designed to deliver repeatable performance in metalworking applications such as slotting, edging, and light milling. The hollow-ground bore minimizes contact and heat buildup, helping maintain dimensional accuracy and prolong tool life. With its imperial sizing and robust HSS construction, it’s a reliable choice for shops tackling precise slots in steel, aluminum, and other metals.
