G'day everyone,
I've been a little under the weather recently and I have not been able to get into the workshop a whole lot, but one thing I did do when I got in was remake my slitting saw arbor. The old one was made too long to be properly supported by the MT3 collet that I use to hold the mill tooling. The run out was also quite poor. I have also bought some larger slitting saws which require larger arbors.
The new arbor will have a morse taper shank for better rigidity and a thicker shaft to prevent flexing under load.
