Slitting Saw Arbor/Holder

looks good--you could mill or file a couple flats on it to use a wrench to hold it while snugging your screw tight--it looks like your blade is on backwards for the teeth to cut, but my eyes may not be the best--Dave
Yes, it is backwards, cutting forces would unscrew it in use.
 
I take it you are referring to a slitting saw and not a split saw ? Gotta go with steel and a good grade at that . Nice job though and it worked which is the main thing .
Actually, that saw is a screw slotter, not a slitting saw which would have way fewer teeth and consequently more chip space; screw slotters are made for shallow cuts as in straight slotted screw heads.
 
Pun intended! Once I saw a whole gang of slitting saws, like 6 or so do that; the guy was slitting physical test coupons (for Charpy impact test pieces) on a piece of junk Cincinnati #5 mill from the WW-1 era, something jammed up and it took out all the 1/8 X 6 slitters; the bosses were not pleased, to say the least.

You are right. It is fixed. Thanks.
 
Nice tool but what you don't want in a slitting saw arbor is too much run out, which will affect the cutting action.
Let us know how it works out. I've never seen an aluminum arbor.

I don't really have much application of slitting, and I am hoping to get away with aluminum for my occasionally use. Plus, I left enough material so that I can reshape it necessary.
