Making a Slitting Saw Arbor

- This week we're making a slitting saw arbor from a scrap bin piece of 2" round bar and a used automatic transmission bolt. It will be needed for some future projects I hope to get at, and the price was right.
Thanks for watching! - บันเทิง
Great Job. Thanks for explaining everything as you did it. Great for learning. Thanks
Thanks, it may not be the prettiest but it does work!
Nothing is more pleasing than being able to use up ''scrap'' pieces. Nice result. :) Noticed (almost predictably!) I have yet to find a slitting saw, even on a good arbor, that sounds like it is cutting thru all of 360 degrees!!
Audio sounds good.
Thanks! Yeah, it works about as well as I expected - listening to videos of others using slitting saws it sounds like theirs don't cut full a 360 either. Occasionally rotating 180 on the arbor should even out the cutting wear on the blade if necessary.
Like the projects you do, a lot like I end up making in my little shop. and good presentation
Thanks Ed, still trying to find the balance between information/opinion/rambling and action shots. Glad you like it so far, though!
Nice work as usual.Enjoy your channel.
Thanks! I might readjust the mounting face at some point but not sure if the runout is in the cheap Chinesium blade or the arbor itself.
Hi Everett, just watching this video and I hear you say Pierre advises machining the chamfer before running the thread. I agree absolutely with him. Trying to form the chamfer afterwards rolls burrs into the leading threads. When I first spotted the title to this video I thought it said 'making a slitting saw' I was relieved when I realised it was the arbor you meant.
Pierre is totally right in saying what he does, I respect him lot. Now the only thing is sometimes I get ahead of myself and forget to chamfer first, that is something I have to work on.
One of my first projects will be one of these arbors. Great job on yours.
Thank you! The price was right, lol
Happy birthday Everett, nice vid.....
Thank you!
Good job. I had to make one of those after having so much trouble getting the saw off the commercial made arbor.
Thanks, Harold. Saw how you made yours and yours came out pretty slick! Kinda sad the commercial 'Chinesium" one gave you grief like it did.
Dam Fine Job !! I See You Have A RCBS Rock Chucker , Nice....
Thank you! And yes, that reloading press is quite old. I inherited it from my grandfather when he passed on, and it still works as well for me as it did for him.
One reason I bought my lathe, to improve bullet seaters for my dies. Don't have a Rock Chucker, but have an RCBS Jr, I bought in 1974 that still works great!
Great project. Nicely executed. New sub
Thank you!
I liked the wrench on the jaws trick. Never thought to use that seems so obvious now lol. Also I sent you an email about bandsaw blades hope to hear from you soon.
I picked up the wrench trick from John Mills a while back, can't claim originality on that one. Got the email and wrote you back, should be in your inbox!
That's a pretty good result, even the little interruption is quite normal, I don't know of many saws thea make a continuous sound... ;)
Have you tried making heavier cuts with your lathe, seems like it can be pushed a little, it would save you tremendous amount of time.
Like you just discovered, better tools make it easier to do the work, dull taps ere the worse thing you can use....
Well done, making your own tools is a great way to learn and make interesting projects...

Thanks, I really appreciate feedback from experienced machinists like you. I could probably take deeper cuts on the lathe, just been playing it safe trying not to break anything as it's a much lighter machine than what we were using at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. And yes, the high speed steel taps are pricey but worth it for harder steel. Saving the MasterCrap only for aluminum and thread chasing from now on!
Pushing a lathe is quite forgiving, same stunt on a milling isn't so... When you push to the limit on a lathe, it just ( 99% of times... ) slows down, then, you know it's there and back off a little...
Eventually cheap taps should be relegated to chasing only... lol
Hahaha, sounds exactly like mine. Ra ra ra ra ra, cutting on 2 out of 100 teeth.
Good repurpose, the next time I built one, I put a turning tool into the vise, and then lower the pilot diameter for your slitting saw down to finish it in the spindle. Now mine cuts on 14 teeth out of 100.
Good job mate.
It was the first time I had made an arbor like this and I think I will revisit it and do as you say - mount it in the mill spindle and re-cut the blade mounting boss on the mill. At least then any runout will be due to the lowest-price Chinesium slitting saw . . . At least I'm in good company as far as homemade tools are concerned!
Best way to learn is to build your own tools at first. I want to contact you but I’m using the mobile TH-cam App, and your contact info isn’t shown. I don’t want to post my business addy on here. Thoughts?
Hi E verett, what's the rifle in your opening credits, please. Enquiring minds want to know - or maybe it's just nosey old farts ..... :)
Hey Richard, it's a totally valid question - a buddy of mine has a Savage .308 target rifle and he wanted a basic muzzle brake for it. That was before I started doing video. Done a few barrel threads and brake installs but nothing too crazy.
Why don't you fit the grinder disc to your mill instead of the slitting saw
You know, I had thought of a thin cut-off disc, but a couple reasons kept me back from that. One is that grinders send abrasive junk everywhere so I try to minimize grinding around the better machine tools - if I can get/build a tool post grinder for the lathe then I'd use that, but carefully and when necessary for its purpose. The other reason is that the mill doesn't spin fast enough at its top end for me to feel comfortable using it for cut-off wheels.
Thanks for stopping by, and for the good question!
Because it would never work, thin abrasive cutting discs are designed to run in the thousands of rpm not 150
All that work and it was out of round ...Ha ha ha ha
Não ficou bom não. A serra ficou fora do centro.
Não é perfeito, mas funciona. É uma lâmina de importação barata, então não tenho certeza se o desalinhamento está na lâmina ou no eixo. Um dia eu poderia tentar recortar o rosto com ele montado na fresadora para ver se faz alguma diferença. Obrigado por visitar e por escrever. (Eu não sei português, isso é usar um tradutor)
