• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Slitting saw info

Just wanted to share a helpful resource on slitting saws:


Pages 13 and 14 have a bunch of good information including a table of recommended rpms based on the blade diameter and material to be cut. They also suggest that the feed rate can be up to 2 thous per _tooth_! Not sure I'll ever push things that hard. I keep a copy of this page with my blades.

YMMV,

Craig

So from 2.8 to 28 ipm on a 3 inch 56 tooth in mild with cutting oil. Saw loses temper when it turns blue lol. I'd be trying like 5 to start.
