Vortex HSS Slitting Saws are premium, metric-ready circular cutting tools designed for precise slotting in metalworking. Built for machinists and fabricators who demand clean slots, consistent kerf, and long tool life.

• Diameter: 40 mm
• Width (kerf): 5 mm
• Bore: 10 mm
• Teeth: 40
• Material: HSS with M2 steel body and bright finish
• Pitch: Coarse pitch for efficient material removal
• Ground: Hollow ground to bore for improved side clearance
• Kerf tolerance: Very tight tolerances to keep slot widths consistent
• Stock availability: DIN stock, ready off the shelf in metric sizes

These features translate into smoother slotting with minimal deflection and distortion, extended tool life, and repeatable results across multiple passes. The 10 mm bore ensures compatibility with standard slitting saw adaptors, while the hollow ground design reduces rubbing as the blade enters and exits cuts. The 40-tooth geometry balances aggressive material removal with a clean slot finish, making it suitable for mild steel, aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. Ideal for keyways, coolant channels, relief slots, and other precision slotting tasks in production or prototyping environments.
