Slitting saw problem
#6
Yes, diameter is important, isn't it. My bad. Both broken ones were 3", 36 tooth. One was 3/32", the other 1/16" thick.

Maybe I've been lucky - I've always run them fairly fast. They don't seem to require much HP to cut. Wouldn't hurt me to dig out Machinery's Handbook and look it up.

I had some suspicion that wandering was due to a dull cutter (woodworking circular saws do the same thing), I could dig the pieces out of the trash and have a look.

I like the plunge technique. I'll remember that and use it.

The material was all from the same order, and it ran nice last time. Yeah, it's expensive -- 4 6' sticks was $375!

Maybe I'll dig out the balance of my cutters and take them to the local tool grinder and get them sharpened.

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone.
