The Vortex HSS Slitting Saw is a precision, high-speed steel cutting tool designed for machinists who demand clean, tight slots and dependable performance in metalworking. Specifically sized for imperial setups, it delivers consistent results in slotting and light milling applications.

• Diameter: 6" cutting diameter for robust slotting and precise wider passes
• Kerf width: 1/32" blade thickness to produce narrow, controlled slots
• Bore: 1" bore compatibility with common slitting saw adapters and arbors
• Teeth: 150 teeth for a fine-pitch action that minimizes chatter and produces smooth finishes
• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) for durability, wear resistance, and high heat tolerance
• Pitch: Fine-pitch geometry optimized for precise slotting rather than aggressive material removal
• Ground: Hollow ground to the bore, enhancing side clearance and reducing rubbing during cuts
• Kerf tolerance: Kerf held to +/- 0.001" for predictable, repeatable results
• Brand: Vortex — engineered for reliability in demanding shop environments

HSS slitting saws like this are built to handle demanding metalcutting tasks with consistent edge life and predictable results. The hollow-ground bore design improves side clearance, helping you avoid binding in deeper slots, while the fine-pitch tooth arrangement reduces heat buildup and minimizes burrs. This saw is well-suited for slotting keystocks, creating precise features in steel and other alloys, and performing light milling tasks where accuracy and surface finish matter. When paired with appropriate speeds, feeds, and coolant strategies, the Vortex 6" slitting saw delivers dependable performance in busy fabrication shops and precision machining environments alike.
