? Slitting Saw with a Keyway
- Keyway: A groove cut into the inner bore of the slitting saw, designed to fit a corresponding key on the arbor.
- Purpose: Prevents the saw from slipping or rotating on the arbor under heavy cutting loads.
- Application:
- High-torque operations
- Deep cuts or harder materials
- When greater stability is required to prevent the saw from shifting on the arbor.
- Benefits:
- Prevents slippage
- Distributes cutting forces more evenly
- Reduces the risk of damage to the saw and arbor
- Drawback:
- Requires a matching keyway arbor
- Slightly more difficult to mount compared to a plain-bore saw
âď¸ Slitting Saw Without a Keyway (Plain Bore)
- Plain Bore: A smooth, round bore with no groove.
- Purpose: Relies on the clamping force of the arbor to hold the saw in place.
- Application:
- Light to moderate cutting operations
- Thin cuts or softer materials
- When rapid tool changes are needed
- Benefits:
- Easier to mount and remove
- More versatile if you have different arbor sizes
- Drawback:
- May slip under high torque
- Not suitable for heavy-duty cutting
