Points : Sawing/Slitting Milling Operation Sawing or slitting, thin stock into various widths for the production of flat gauges, templates, etc. is a fairly common milling operation. It is performed with a slitting saw and is likely to give considerable trouble if extreme care is not exercised. A slitting saw of the smallest diameter permitting adequate clearance is used. It must be keyed to the arbor (the key should also pass into the spacers on, either side of the cutter). Best results can be obtained if the cutter is mounted for Climb Milling. That is the work and the cutter both move in the same direction of the point of the contact. The cutting pressure is downward and will tend to press the work on to the table or holding device. Adjust the table gibs until there is heavy drag felt when the table is moved by hand. This will remove table “play” and prevent the cutter from jumping in the cut.
