I stumbled across these 175x2mm slitting saws today sitting on a high shelf where shorter folk had missed them. The one with the surface rust was sitting on top, but all 3 are sharp and in good condition. Price was right (free) so I grabbed them.
My mill has a slowest speed of 80 RPM so if I've done the calc correctly that should be about right to run these saws in mild steel. Would that seem correct?
I noticed that the drive cutouts in the center aren't exactly opposite. I assume that's so the saw can't be fitted on the arbor in reverse?
Since I don't have an arbor I looked online to see what they actually look like with a view to making one, but can't seem to find any that have the same center style.
Can anyone throw some light on what they might be called?
