    Default Slitting saws quality .

    Whats the go with HSS slitting saws ? I managed to destroy one , the teeth disintegrated cutting into mild steel , it was a no name asian made thing .

    The older good quality brands seem to be thin on the ground . I need one around 4" diam and up to 1/16" thick for a job.

    Any ideas where to find ? Mike

    Hi Mike,
    I have bought a few from C-tool on ebay (ducks for cover) Brands like osbourne and P&N, quality stuff. The problem with a lot of the asian saws i have seen (and have) is that they have fairly fine teeth. If your doing anything but the smallest of cuts the teeth seem to love to disappear.....

    Ew

    Edit, like this one HSS Milling Slitting Slotting Cutter SAW 5" X 1 16" X 1" Sutton TEC | eBay
    1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.

    Mike,

    There are reasonably priced good quality alternatives to blunt Australians and cheap Chinese.
