Question

why are slitting saws trapped towards the bore?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi,

I have a few 1" bore slitting saws but no arbour for my mill. I am thinking of making one and have a couple of questions.

Would a parallel shank in in ER collet work OK or would a MT be needed?

What diameter should the clamping part be? I was thinking 1 1/4" which would give 1/8" clamping. Or would 1 1/2" be better?

Would EN1a/EN3 be strong enough?

Thanks
