It Seems that a Slitting Saw & arbor would be prudent additions to my
accessory order but there are soooo many to choose from. For general
work (not slotting), what size would prob. be best (most common, most
economical)? What arbor size is the most common? I expect I'll be doing
mostly alum. but might need it for steel too.

Seems that an arbor might be a good first project. Thanks.

Making one doesn't seem that difficult. Being lazy and intimidated as
I am :-) I am considering this one:



Micro-Mark has some really nice toys^H^H^H^H tools :-).

Chisels came today, going to go check them out here in a bit.

Take care, Vikki (no relation to Micro-Mark).

Vikki,

that slitting saw arbor's 1/2" shank might be a problem ;-(. I don't
have a taig lathe but that thing sure would be a problem with my mill which
I believe uses the same spindle. A blank taig arbor is cheap, turn a step
to match your saws ID. 5 minutes and the shipping is more than a single
blank.

--- Hi Rance/Vikki,
For the occaisional times I need a slitting saw, I bought a few
from Grizzly a couple of years ago 2.5" dia. w/ a 7/8" hole, in
different thickness', and the "fits all" arbor. I found that the
saws don't run true with that arbor, although with care, they work.
I also bought some smaller dia. (I think they're 1.75" dia) with a
1/2" hole, at a flea market, for literaly pennies. The 1-1/4" dia.
of the arbor leaves very little blade showing on the smaller ones. I
made a 7/8" arbor from alum. round stock, and a 1/2" arbor from 3/4"
round steel rod. They work much better,the saws run true, and are
easier to use. And easy to make. The 3/4" rod arbor for the smaller
saws leaves more cutting room. The diameter and thickness of the
saws depend on your needs. So far these few sizes have worked for
me. If blanks are available, making your own is even easier.

Just FYI



I have another brand of mill holders,
(including 1/2inch) but I cannot
think of the name at the moment.

Ok, you have convinced me :-). With OLM just down the street I'll
order a couple chunks of steel and have at :-).

Not sure what I need exactly, but the 12L14(?) stuff is supposed to be
easy to turn. After that 1" stainless rod I got at the recycle place
*CHEAP* probably anything would be easy to turn :-).

1/2" I think is max I want to go on the HF Micro Mill.

Looked at your web site, some VERY nice stuff there!

Take care, Vikki.

Thanks Frank,

So is $9-$10 about the going price for :

Diameter (Inch): 2-1/2
Face Width (Inch): 1/16
Arbor Hole Size: 7/8
Material: HSS
Number of Teeth: 28
Type of Tooth: Plain Tooth

or should I look elsewhere since it prob. won't be the first
accessory I'll be wanting to use? Thanks.

Rance

PS: I think I'll just make my own arbor. Only need one size for now.

--Hi Rance,

Not sure where your looking, but in the 2007 Grizzly catalog
(pg.614) they are $2.95 ea. I bought three, 1/32,1/16,1/8 with a 7/8
hole a few years ago when I first got my mini mill, during an
accessory "buying spree", just to have around. Shortly after that I
bought several end mills, taps, R-8 colletts, and more from someone
at a flea market selling tons of machine accessories that were used,
but well cared for, and no Asian stuff, all high quality prfessional
shop stuff, and I got a few 1/2" hole slitting saws with the bunch
of stuff, all for about $15! The biggest disappointment of all of it
was the "fits all" arbor from Grizzly. I don't use the saws alot,
but they're nice to have on hand. Certainly not a "must have" for
just starting out though. I cut alum. dry, steel needs cutting
fluid, w/ slow feed. Use some type of shield, they spray alot of
fluid!

I think I just added Grizzly to my supplier list. Thanks a bunch.
