Buy cheap, buy twice... or if you have a machine shop, make your own! I made the mistake of buying the cheapest slitting saw arbor on the market. And I got what I paid for. So I tried my hand at making a version that perfectly meets my needs. And let's just say it's not as straightforward as you might think...

Enjoy!

PATREON - Making the PERFECT Slitting Saw Arbor || INHERITANCE MACHINING

If you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself. In this project I’ll be engineering and machining an improved slitting saw arbor to replace the bargain barrel piece of junk I bought a while back. Which should be a pretty simple project honestly… but of course I’m incapable of keeping things simple. I’ll include a standard R8 taper making it compatible with my mill’s spindle. But the other end will be a little more interesting. It’s designed such that it can adapter to a wide range of slitting saw blades with different sized holes. Do I have blades with different sized holes? No… but I might one day. Anyway, this does present somewhat of a challenge to keep several assembled parts as concentric as possible. So some precision machining is in order. Including some turning on the mill, as well as my first foray into trepanning. Like I said… I’m incapable of keeping things simple. #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachinist Drawings Store - https://inheritancemachining.com/?product_tag=drawings Patreon (Early Access + Ad Free + Drawings) - https://www.patreon.com/inheritancemachining Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inheritancemachining/ Website - https://inheritancemachining.com/ Thank you again to the Micrometer level Patreon members listed at the end of the video!

Hey Brandon, Nicely done with fun! Your humor is on par with your precisionism and makes for great fun to watch, learn and appreciate! Something about achieving tenths with aplomb and a smile. Although a bit concerning about the last shot stuck in the R8. @¿@ Thanks Much.

Jeffrey Spoor

You've done it again Brandon! Nicely done!

Michael Faragher

I almost immediately said "this looks different." And in a very good way. The added variety and better range of shots adds a tremendous amount to the videos, even if it's just subconsciously. Making tools to make tools!

I haven't finished the video yet, but the one you bought looked like it was going to be a real challenge to use for precision work. Happy to see another interesting project. (And I still recall your comment from early on that a machine shop is a perfect environment for making more tools for your machine shop.)

Justin Walsh

Such a pleasure to watch.

It definitely was and actually bit me a couple times in the past before I figured out how to work around it. Yes that is the best use of the machine shop haha Thanks!

Inheritance Machining

Thanks, PJ! And very concerning indeed. I won't give too much away, but it certainly wasn't how I'd have liked that to go...

John

The end of the video I was hoping you were going to cut the old arbor using the new one before tossing it into the box. Great project!
