The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a premium, fine-pitch milling blade designed for professional metalworking. Sized for imperial tooling, it delivers precise slotting with a clean finish on 3" diameter workpieces, featuring a 1" bore and 72 teeth for smooth, controlled cuts.

• Diameter: 3" (76.2 mm) for standard slotting applications
• Teeth: 72 teeth in a fine-pitch arrangement for smooth, accurate cuts
• Width / Kerf: 7/32" (0.21875") kerf for efficient material removal
• Bore: 1" bore to fit common slitting saw arbors
• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) for durability and heat resistance
• Finish: Bright finish to support clean edge quality
• Ground profile: Hollow ground to the bore for essential side clearance and reduced rubbing
• Precision tolerance: Kerf tolerance within +/- 0.001" for repeatable results

The Vortex slitting saw is crafted to empower precise slotting and grooving in a range of metals, including steel and aluminum. The fine-pitch tooth count and hollow-ground bore work together to minimize heat, reduce burr formation, and deliver a consistent kerf across multiple passes. With a robust HSS body and a bright finish, this blade maintains rigidity and sharpness under demanding milling conditions, making it a reliable choice for job shops and precision machining tasks. Use it with an appropriate arbor and secure workholding to achieve accurate slots, shoulders, or grooves with repeatable results.
